Great location. Rooms could use some updating. One thing I did not like is when taking a shower the temperature of the water would fluctuate, sometimes very hot then cold then back to normal.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Aged. Poor finishes. Everything was crooked - floor, doors, etc. The bed was comfortable. Noisey as it's near a freeway. If you go into it thinking an antique experience you will be fine. If you are looking for Montecito elegant. Look elsewhere.
