I loved the room but didn't like that the carpets hadn't fully dried from being cleaned and the room had a musty smell. A few clothing items fell on the floor over night. In the morning they were stained front the carpet dew. Other than that we were pleased with our stay.

We really appreciated how kind the service people were. The room was very clean. The bathroom needs a fan and the shower needs to be redone. It was small and water flow was so low. The curtains were hard to open and shut. The bed was super comfortable and the blankets were great! Overall a really good experience.

We enjoyed the quaint and quiet area nice place to just walk around and go to the nearby coffee houses. The hotel itself is very dated though I find it clean to a certain standard and the staff is nice. They can use a little updating so the guests will be more comfortable. Overall, satisfactory.

Charm, without the extra baggage

The perfect little hotel that’s walkable on Coast Village Rd. Right in the heart of Montecito and easy access to restaurants, shops, and more. It’s simple, classic, and very charming.

Clean, basic accomodations in Montecito. The road it is on is surprisingly busy at night, so not the quietest, but location makes up for it. Rooms are dated, but clean and functional. Bathroom is tiny with a pedestal sink, so it is difficult to put on makeup or share with a partner. Bed is comfortable. Great location close to many restaurants and boutiques.
