    Absolutely the best place to experience everything Santa Barbra has to offer. Will always be my go to spot to stop.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel’s location was perfect—within walking distance of the beach, great restaurants, and shops—making it easy to explore Santa Barbara without needing to drive everywhere. Everything was well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the excellent hospitality and attention to detail. This was a fantastic experience, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Santa Barbara!

    Lovely property. I stayed in a king studio and it was huge. Great kitchen space as well and full bathroom and super comfortable bed. I also loved that they had real coffee and creamer in room and no kurig. I will be back.

    For as long as the same folks are running it, I will have this place forever at #1 on my list for staying at Santa Barbara.

    This is a great clean, and friendly hotel. Very close to the beach, and the bikes they offer are really cool to ride around town. I highly recommend, I’ve been there twice.

    Beautiful apartment. Close to downtown and beach. No breakfast

  • Engine customer May 2026

    While a simple hotel, the owners have really thought hard about what you need and how to make the experience perfect… all the details, from real fresh coffee to a great little kitchen, bathroom amenities and even a toaster! It’s just a little 70’s brown but not too much.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    10/10 experience. Everything was clean! Friendliest office staff I’ve ever interacted with. Free parking was a great pro. Such a good walking distance to everything, too! One of my favorite stays

    Great place to unwind and relax.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Fabulous place, with lovely staff and at the doorsteps from the beach. The fact they provide bikes (a must do in Santa Barbara) and beach stuff is fantastic! Room was beautiful, clean and got everything you need. Even though it is so close to the main street it was idyllically quiet and we had the best night sleep (my husband is a light sleeper and any noice wakes him up but there he slept like a baby). Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks so much for having us!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Room was beautiful, cosy, impeccably clean, and such a peaceful retreat. Front desk staff is phenomenal :)

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very nice staff, great rooms and super location. They offer complementary fruits, bikes and beach items.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Accomodations felt upscale, Staff was very friendly and helpful. Many little "extras" made my stay an exceptional value.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    One item of distress was that the on line booking jumped by $80 so we called and woman said that the fee was correct. So we tried another service who offered for less so we booked. When we arrived we were greeted with a friendly owner!!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, both online and in person. They were always very helpful and made us feel completely at ease. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was great — you could easily get anywhere you wanted by bike. My friend and I had a truly wonderful two days here, and we would definitely come back again.

    Room was spacious and clean. Staff was very helpful.
