We stayed in the cottage in Jan. of '26 and had a delightful time. The hotel (more of an inn) is located within a few blocks of all our favorite Santa Barbara hangs, and the cozy, peaceful environment inside was particularly nice. The cottage itself was lovely, very private with a feeling of seclusion, and well worth what we paid. I just wish the bed were one big mattress rather than two small ones pushed together.

Stayed in the cottages vs the main hotel. New restaurant just opened. Food good just a few start up kinks to work on. Only complaint nothing major for breakfast just muffins and coffee. Walkable to downtown Santa Barbara. Downtown was a real disappointment. Almost abandoned at 8pm on a Friday night. X

They send you a text saying to text or call for any questions. When I texted them, they only responded once out of the three times I texted so I had to call them. They said they do housekeeping daily. I left at around 11am and made sure the Do Not Disturb sign was taken down. Came back to the room around 4pm and the room was not cleaned, even though the room across from us was being cleaned when we left.

This is a downtown property so there is no expectation for an ocean view. Room for improvement: 1. The property does not have enough parking spaces for all its occupants. So we were forced to find street parking which was a hassle late in the evening. 2. Also there should be enough breakfast pastries for all your guests because breakfast provided was only coffee and pastries. The property is great, well maintained, clean and is in great location.
