Santa Barbara, California Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Su Nido was quiet and peaceful and warm and friendly.

This was the best lil bnb I have ever been to. Everything from the themes to the food, to the friendly staff, I loved it! The rooms are really exculsive and unqiue, you almost don't want to leave the room to keep the story they create going in your head!

From the moment we arrived we felt the tranquillity of the place rub off on us! This hotel is in a stunning setting with manicured gardens and rooms that are actually separate cottages all with their own private gardens. Everything in the room was tasteful and beautifully clean with antiques and little touches that made us feel at home. All the staff were so polite and responded to any needs we had. The pool is gorgeous and we relaxed there and had delicious tea and a light meal. Dinner was lovely ...the ambience with all the subtle lights and fire heaters was just sublime. The food was delicious too... The only negative thing I can say about the stay was that I was spoken to in a rather rude way by one member of staff at the front desk. I had called the front desk at about 10am to ask if I could possibly have a late check out and was told that it would be fine to stay until 1pm. I also asked for a table to be booked at the stonehouse restaurant at 1pm and that I would come and check out first and then go to the restaurant. At about 12.15pm a lady staff member called me to ask if there was a reason why I had not checked out yet. When I said that I had been given permission to stay in the room until 1pm she said "I will have to verify that" questioning me that I was telling the truth! I told her that I did not appreciate being spoken to like that and she made the excuse for her behaviour that they only have a small number of rooms there! She did say sorry in the end.

Loved it. Had such a great experience last year we chose the property again.

Incredible stay! What a wonderful experience! The staff, grounds, room, food and attention to detail were outstanding in every way, we will most definitely be staying here again...and soon! Can't recommend the Simpson House enough...

We have been here several times and always enjoy it. I have come with girlfriends and with my kids and both experiences have been great. It is really relaxing and beautiful.

Great hotel for anyone with nice taste in design and comfort. The room was laid out well, the décor was tasteful and comforting. Everything was very clean and had some standard amenities that made our stay really enjoyable. Not to mention their included breakfast was excellent. A little limited on space to eat during this time, but other than that there were no complaints from our family. The town also has a lot to offer within short walking distance.

A small, compact property, just off the main beach front drive in Santa Barbara. Although the room is small the amenities and appointments are fine and overall the atmosphere is cozy. It is within easy walking distance of the beach, the wharf, the harbor area and local restaurants. If you can ride a bike, which they have available the entire beach and State Street areas are within easy reach.

Very comfortable hotel with excellent amenities.....coffee delivered to your room....no charge.....same with ice.....excellent staff & excellent location.....we look forward to returning to this hotel.....

Lushly landscaped with sparkling pool and hot tub. Comfortable bed, fluffy pillows with uniquely designed furniture. Expanded continental breakfast. Only five minute drive from downtown Ojai restaurants, shopping etc. Would highly recommend this motel!
