We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel, which has been beautifully restored. The friendliness of the staff and well-maintained gardens made our time enjoyable. Our teenage kids loved exploring the property, feeling the rich history around them.
My children wished there were more family-friendly dining options available, especially for breakfast.

Perfect spot for a short trip in Santa Barbara with good price value. The individual cottages were cozy and newly renovated. For convenience, stroll around downtown for shops and restaurants nearby.

We had an amazing group vacation! The hotel's charm was breathtaking, and we loved exploring the grounds. We visited the nearby botanical gardens and enjoyed a picnic at the beach, both within easy reach. Heads up, the breakfast options could be improved, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
The only downside was the noisy heating system in our room, which was a bit annoying during the night.

Tranquil outdoor seating areas with beautifully landscaped gardens provide a peaceful escape right in the middle of downtown. The charming decor adds a touch of historical character that enhances the overall experience.
Parking can be a real hassle. The breakfast options are basic and lack variety. it's not what you'd expect given the price point. Also, some rooms suffer from outdated fixtures—moldy smells and damp spots weren't exactly what I hoped for on my stay, which detracts from the charming atmosphere.

Excellent place with helpful staff, great wi-fi, and 24-hour reception. They assisted my elderly parents on my first stay, which I remember fondly. I'll be back for Easter!
