We stay here whenever we are in Santa Barbara. The hotel is beautiful and historic. Customer service is always top notch. They're dog friendly and valet parking is only $30 a night. We're always happy to stay here.

Regardless of being under construction, this property was very clean cozy with a very friendly stuff. The location is just what you need in Santa Barbara. It’s little confusing to find the entrance because the building is under construction. And Valley parking makes it easy if you drive your own vehicle to Santa Barbara.

The team of people who work here made our stay very enjoyable. Every person we encountered was extremely customer service focused! The location is excellent for walking anywhere. The property is currently under renovation which we were aware of. Any related issues we had were addressed by the team as best they could. We’re sure when the renovations are complete it will be a phenomenal location to stay at.

I prefer this location for business meetings when I'm in Santa Barbara. It is upscaled, clean, and has friendly staff. It is priced a little higher than preferred but within walking distance of my meeting.
