Hidden jewel. Clean, updated small apartment rooms. You have a choice to have a kitchenette or not. Comfortable bed and chairs. The staff are friendly and professional. Love the area. It is walking distance from the Amtrak train station and great restaurants. This is my second time staying here and will definitely stay again when I visit Santa Barbara.
