Liked: Cleanliness
The room was big and for the most part clean but for the floors. Floors were very dirty just by looking at my socks and after a bath, walking to the bed my feet turned brown!! I wiped my feet with a towel and the towel became very dirty. A good mopping would have made this review excellent. Lastly we had neighbors upstairs who woke at 5am and made so much noise for over an hour which was very frustrating. They must have been room 329

Beautiful courtyard and restaurant, nice setting near the Santa Barbara Bowl and downtown. Quiet. But the rooms and bathrooms are definitely showing their age.

The hotel and the room were outdated, we requested and corner room or a room that shares wall with our friend(we booked 2 rooms) as we have a toddler who cries at night so we didn't want to disturb other guests but they denied and also we found one roach near restroom.

It was good for 1-night

It is a very good location, but the hotel definitely needs some upgrading. It is old and it needs new tubs/showers, carpet and the front door is not a tight seal. You can see daylight all around it. Also, there is no place to plug in your charging cord, so you need to bring your own cube for the outlet. But, the bed was comfortable and the restaurant was excellent. The grounds are pretty with a lot of lemon trees and the jasmine scent all around was nice.

We were in town for one night for a concert at the SB Bowl. This was the perfect place for us to stay! Not too far from there or the beach, but not too close either. The room was was better than I expected for the relatively low price. Comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, and a balcony overlooking the beautiful courtyard which was a great place for breakfast (room service from the onsite restaurant) too! Will definitely stay there again.

Spaceous room, room still have carpets thus have a hint smell of the old room. However, it is cleaned and convenient. Nice balcony to seat outside. 3 mins drive to Mission Santa Barbara. Restaurant is right down stair and serving good food. A few homeless wonder around, they are nice not bothering anyone at all, but we saw this issue every where
