The room was cozy with a nice bed and fireplace. The ocean view balcony is big and has a great view but the traffic on the freeway kind of spoils the experience. It’s too bad the traffic noise is so loud but the hotel is cute and cozy

Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!
