Beautiful hotel close to the beach. Rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with nice comfy bed and great shower. Extra plus a nice breakfast that wasn’t mentioned at booking which saved us having to find somewhere before we headed off on our journey. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Santa Barbara
