Santa Barbara, California Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The entire experience was great. You are greeted and then shown around the hotel. You get treated to wine and cheese. They then turn your bed and leave yummy cookies. You then get breakfast to order in the morning.

The ranch is so nicely landscaped with beautiful gardens loaded with flowers; a citrus grove and also the chefs garden of produce and herbs. It is a wonderful place to wander. But it is also a treat to just stay in your cottage, each one is beautifully decorated in a way that makes you feel at home. It's hard to choose where to go in the room, however, the canopied bed invites you to stay put, but the porch beckons you to go outdoors. It is not an inexpensive retreat, but it is truly a retreat from everyday life.

I travel frequently for business to Santa Barbara and anything near State St. is usually very noisy - and oceanfront is usually more so. But when my husband and I came to visit over Christmas break, we discovered this gem. In walking distance to the best of State St, but an oasis from the busyness - even during a holiday season. The fireside room was cozy and perfect for reading. The breakfast has been upgraded to be quite substantial. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful. Rooms are smaller, as one would expect in an older building but everything is up to date and in excellent condition. Parking is free and easily available. Fabulous.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Su Nido. The inn is so beautiful, and our suite was amazing with its nice decor, comfortable bed, fireplace and deep soak tub. A perfectly relaxing and quiet place. It is also very close to wonderful shops and restaurants. Thank you for a great experience!

Excellent service and attentive staff. Loved the afternoon wine and cheese and evening desserts

A wonderful stay at a beautiful property. The staff is AMAZING!

It's a wonderful place to get away. Special setting, gracious and helpful staff, comfortable in all ways. We're not golfers and suspect if we were we would have been even happier. Easy drive to Santa Barbara, allowing us to see that beautiful scenery as well.

Beautiful location and drive to hotel. Beautiful spa décor, contemporary furnishings. Room was spacious with fireplace ample bathroom. Will definitely stay there again.

50's room experience was awesome! Watching a 'drive-in' movie in the Cadillac bed was fun, unique, and most memorable. The bed does have a steering wheel, which for the effect, not sure how you could remove it... It has to stay, but even for the 5' 4" sleeping driver the wheel impacts restfulness. The steering wheel and one neon light fixture that was not working is the only reason we didn't give across the board excellents. The proprietor is great! Have fun!

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!
