Room very clean , front desk manager was so accommodating very helpful of what to do in town where to eat Ect. Only 1 thing is that a fluffy pillow or maybe 2 pillows would have been great but I also didn’t ask for an extra pillow. Location to State Street shops and restaurants was excellent.

The staff was nice , respectful and friendly. However, the room were okay , no fridge to keep any left over food or milk for the kids. The place was nice 10 mins walk to downtown.
No fridge. No microwave. First room had a door that opened even if you didn't use a key card. 2nd room I was placed so far away from the office even though there were numerous empty rooms that were closer. Some lights not working, making some dark hallways. At least the room was clean.
The gentleman who checked us in recommended the Santa Barbara public market and our food was awesome. The hotel was a good walking distance to food and shopping.
Staff was awesome and very knowledgeable about the area. Place is hip and chic, parking was a breeze and the room is perfect size. Can’t wait to come back again.
I liked the hotel in general. The location is great. The staff were good and friendly. The room I stayed in was good with a couple of exception that were a big deal. The biggest issue was that the refridgerator was plugged in to the light switch. This isn't normal and as a person who tries to be contious of power useage, I shut off the light switch not knowing what it controlled. The issue is that upon arrival I opened a cooled refridgerator. Once I knew the refridgerator was working my wife and I purchased while out several nice/expensive pastries and other food which upon departure found to be warm and ruined since the refridgerator was not on. This was a little costly and very frustrating. The other issue was the bed frame that sounded like a gong when you got on and off one side of the bed. I guess the frame was made of some sort of thin metal. I'm not sure.
I would consider staying there again but I would make sure that upfront these two issues were addressed.
