Nice staff
I love historical buildings and this one is well kept. Beautiful garden area, wine hour and a true Continental breakfast. We were able to walk downtown and to dinner. Will stay again.

Old historical Santa Barbara
Quiet, clean, safe. Lovely peaceful grounds with fountain in a historic hotel at reasonable prices!
Larry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Historical, old but well preserved and maintained. Very clean, upscale amenities in the room. Safe area. Convenient parking. Short walk to historical old town, markets and restaurants. The surrounding gardens are peaceful. I would come back again.
Larry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming hotel downtown
Very charming hotel with private bungalow rooms and absolutely beautiful grounds. Part of "charming" is that it is a little older, so though it's well kept up generally, do expect some of the things that come with age like thinner walls and slightly older bathrooms. Perfect location just a block and a half from State Street and the historic Arlington theater!

Jamie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very cute hotel with nice amenities. Our king room was super spacious and fit our many bags as we were travelling with our 3 month old! There were a lot of areas around the hotel to lounge so although the hotel was full it never felt overcrowded. We enjoyed the complimentary morning pastries, fruit, and coffee and the evening glass of wine. The location was great, right next to the Santa Barbara public market football and a quick walk to state street. Finally, the staff was so nice and made us feel at home! Would definitely stay here again.

Parking is down hidden alleyway street so if driving at night go slow and look carefully! Overall, a wonderful experience and beautiful little place around the heart of downtown!

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the fact that this property has so much history. The original person who built it is a distant cousin of Abraham Lincoln, it was originally built in 1871, oldest and longest running hotel in California. Renovated, yet maintained its beauty.

GERARDO, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room smelled like mildew and the bathroom had hairs on the carpet from the previous guest. The location to the Main Street was excellent.
Carmen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We arrived after dark. Parking was a challenge and finding our room was also difficult as the light in front was out. We were in room 43.
Erin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is very nice and unique property located within a short distance to a part of the downtown area with plenty of restaurants, movie theater, etc. The property is very well kept, inside and outside, and we looked the large garden space to relax in.
