    The room was small and bathroom really needed an upgraded - given that it was $400+ for the night and all you got was the room it wasn’t great value for money

    Great location and lovely building, very comfortable bed, seamless online check in and check out, helpful staff member who contacted us directly to assist with anything we needed

    There was an issue with the front door. Our code did not work. This was the case for others as well. Had we not found and tried the back door there was no way to enter and no staff on site.

    Location was great. Room was nice with a balcony.

    Loved the down comforter but did end up being a bit hot. Personal preference so not unhappy with it but if there was a blanket option that would have helped.

    Perfect walkable location. Adorable room with fireplace, beautiful home and grounds and comfortable bed. Very happy with this hotel. Great value for Santa Barbara

    The price was high and the "ocean view" is practically non-existent.

    No contact check-in was nice. The penthouse suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, as were the grounds and the rest of the house

    One downside was that cold air would creep through the bathroom window but nothing the heater couldn't take care of.

    Me and my girlfriend both loved the the building and it's vintage look. The fireplace was a nice touch and kept us warm.

    Gorgeous period house only short walking distance from state street… Lovely staff and although the rooms weren’t huge, they were traditional and very quaint. Complimentary snacks and coffees and a shared complimentary bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch. Also the only place in California we found that gave complimentary parking which was great.

    Probably due to Covid restrictions the kitchen offerings were sparse. There was a Keurig, apples and some energy bars. Covid makes us grateful for anything.

    The room was clean and ready when needed, with a comfortable bed and with AC. We were able to get a parking space. It is within convenient walking distance to the downtown, our destination. There are charming outdoor garden seating areas. The touch-less check in and out are convenient. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, we had to check out early due to fire near our home. It was sad to leave.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. Our room was clean, very pretty and relaxing. I had told them in advance that it was my husband's birthday so they left a sweet tray with champagne in an ice bucket, glasses and a vase of flowers. It was a wonderful surprised. He was very impressed.
