7/10 Good! (6 reviews)

Location was great…property was peaceful and well kept. Felt safe to walk to dining and grocery. We did enjoy our stay here however i need to point a couple of concerns out… The couch really needs to be steam cleaned or replaced. It was stained and dirty, we placed a sheet on cushions in order to sit on it. Floors did not look dirty but when i wiped spilled water from it the napkin turned black. I clorox wiped the floor just to feel comfortable. I think housekeeping needs to be more detailed when cleaning.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)

This is a beautifully renovated older home turned into a BNB. Every detail has been preserved or highlighted with marble detailed bathrooms, modern cozy furniture and kitchens that I am truly envious of versus my own:). It is a BNB so some may not like the shared kitchen but in that case, reserve the Lotus Suite! We stayed in both the Lotus Suite and the Granada. I can't wait to come again!

9/10 Wonderful! (58 reviews)

The place is a beutiful old wooden house converted in a small hotel. It's completely automated, so there was no staff working in the lobby of the hotel, which was very creepy. The house was remodeled, but still the air was stuffy and smelled very old. I wanted to spend a few nights in beautiful Santa Barbara, and not to stay in a museum. In addition, there were no A/C controls in the room so I had to ask staff over text messages for help multiple times. It's a beautiful house to see, but not remodeled sufficiently to be a hotel I want to stay in.
