I love this property. I've stayed here a few times. The location is great! Across the street from a cute park and very close to Ledbetter Beach which is my favorite. Rooms are large and clean and it's pretty quiet.

A really nice place to stay in Santa Barbara. We were able to walk to the harbor for dinner, etc. We paid for parking instead of driving around looking for a place to park!
