Great Location
No, you don't have a Harbour View, but you can walk three blocks and be there. This hotel worked perfectly for us, with parking, yet close enough to walk for shopping and dinner and beach if you want. Very friendly hotel staff. While we stayed only one night, we met people there that were staying for many weeks and loved it and come back every year. Don't miss the wine and cheese in the late afternoon! Breakfast also very good compared other similar ones offered. I would go back!

Sambo's. The first and last remaining one. The best pancakes on earth (and i make very good ones and hate most restaurant pancakes), as well as a large menu of tasty food in old dinner atmosphere.

it was just what we needed
it is a cute, quaint hotel. no fluff and fancy stuff, very basic but just right. the staff is extremely helpful and the location is good. it is close to most places. great continental breakfast, happy hour and milk and cookies. other great little perks were free movie rentals and bike rentals (just not kids bikes). we walked to bus stop and took trolley to zoo. a few blocks aways from the beach and close to downtown.

great weekend getaway
Very friendly staff, comfortable clean rooms, nice pool and beautiful garden setting. We had fun biking with the beach cruiser bikes provided by the hotel - a very nice included extra.

Mini-Honeymoon Getaway
This hotel/inn is quaint & cozy. The staff is great and knowledgeable about the areas, as they gave tips on a great local bookstore(Chaucer's) and the best place for seafood (Brophy Bros!). The wine & cheese mixer in the lobby is great, though being a young newlywed couple, we kinda wanted to keep to ourselves. It seemed there were a lot of older couples visiting, so we just ended up taking the wine and cheese to our room. The breakfast is good: your regular continental breakfast of juices, bagels, muffins, fruit, and oatmeal. Definitely saved a bit of money on breakfast. Location wise, it's great. Nearby State Street, which is like a big outdoor mall, with your Forever 21, Macys, etc...and down the street in the other direction is the wharf. The staff said it's about a 12 min walk. The room itself was cozy. There was a certain smell every time we entered the room from a day of sightseeing. To air it out, we just opened the screen door. The bathroom is small. During the second day we were there, I noticed a few ants crawling around the sink. I didn't mention anything to the front desk. When I checked the bathroom in the evening, there were no more signs of ants. This place is great if you want to stay close to many of Santa Barbara's attractions, especially if you don't want to pay an arm & a leg for hotels. The price is right for the location. The room & bathroom is a bit small. The little perks of wine + cheese, milk + cookies, and breakfast is a great touch. The staff is OUTSTANDING.

Short walk from hotel
Brophy Bros. Hands Down, the best Clam Chowder you will ever eat. They have nothing on San Francisco Pier 39. Fish & chips were great, too. Went on a Sunday, around 1200, enjoyed a bloody mary and ate downstairs at the bar. No wait. Great View. Can't complain!

Customer Service Is Number One!
While the rooms at this quaint little hotel were old, they had been redone. It reminded us of our grandmothers house! The furnishings were updated and the beds were comfortable. The ambiance of the courtyard, pool area and lobby were just wonderful! However, nothing compares to the customer service we received from the moment we got there the moment we left and at all points in between from all of their staff! Michael and Jose were fabulous! The breakfast they provided was perfect and we enjoyed the wine and cheese every night, along with other "regulars" who we became fast friends with. It felt like a home away from home! We had a wonderful stay!

happy in the sun
this was a spring break trip, but we also visited UCSB with my son who is starting to apply to collages. I also have a son that is attending SBCC, and lives near the hotel. The hotel is older, but has been well maintained over the years. it was very clean, and I would stay there again.

I loved this place and wish I
I loved this place and wish I had stayed there a couple of days. Some of the facilities were a bit dated but the friendly staff more than made up for it. Nice breakfast and loved the afternoon wine and cheese. Short stroll to the beach and restaurants. Played footy (aussie rules of course) next door on the baseball field. Great times.

Great hotel with a homely feel
Great hotel with a homely feel in a location convenient for the beach and city centre. The free wine & cheese and milk & cookies were a nice touch.
