9.8/10 Exceptional! (730 reviews)
Our stay was a fairy tale. We only stayed one night but it was a welcome respite. I was transported to England. A beautiful garden with soothing fountains and a quaint garden and delicious. Frank, Hailey and Dana greeted us like old friends. Top notch hospitality. One of the best places. We will be back again. Thank you

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,233 reviews)
This is an excellent location and within walking distance of many of Santa Barbara's top attractions. Stearns Wharf and State Street are both about a 15-minute walk away, and you'll find plenty of great restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby.
The property is well maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms, as well as a nice pool and spa to relax after a day of exploring.
Parking can be limited, but once you arrive, there's really no need to drive. Most of the area's attractions are easily accessible on foot, making it a great place to stay.
I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property.

"We had a wonderful stay for our mini-honeymoon! The room is very comfortable with a great location near many restaurants, coffee shops, and places to drink wine. The staff were all friendly and very, very helpful! There is a mild amount of noise being near State street but nothing that diminishes ..."
