    Nice hotel. Right across from the beach and the wharf. Short walking distance to state street shops and dining. Free smores kits and ample fire pits . It is an older hotel so make sure you can walk up at least one flight of stairs because there are no elevators .

    Every single staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and their hospitality made our stay even more special. The hotel has such a charming coastal vibe, and being able to enjoy Santa Barbara without worrying about driving or parking was a huge bonus. We also got to use their beach cruisers for free which was a lovely plus! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for the Fourth of July weekend. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Oh well, I’m sure it’s nice just another place that doesn’t have a personal touch, might as well be AI handling the front desk (which it will be probably in a year).
