    According to the site it is closer to downtown than in reality. The staff at reception and breakfast is extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly. It’s a pity as the place deserves better service.

    The room is nice, clean , comfortable and welcoming.

    Listed above.

    A quiet room was not offered by having me in the lobby. I had a guest, my newphew and at 6.3 tall offering the rooms a comfortable lounge chair is recommended. The bed, was like a pillow, meaning too worn not firm. I had a view of the street. I received a note asking if I wanted to stay another night at 155.00 which made me feel like I was in a 155.00 dollar room. Overall fine, but a lobby with no way to get a hot beverage of tea at 2 or 3 am when traveling from another time zone is also something to consider. I’m. It complaining I am a business owner myself and if I’m told what can e better, that’s better than loosing my clients. For me the title, The Hideaway, I had hoped to be resting and hidden away. I was polite to the young man at the desk, he was amazing. you lobby needs to offer more amenities, and a table outside the entry to be greeted by morning guests outside my door isn’t private.

    I know you can't really do anything about it but the entrance/exit is a bit scary.

    Small and quaint. Good location but felt secluded and quiet. Each room felt very private location wise and was very charming inside. The lady who checked me in was great as well and very nice!

    The parking garage was small and made it difficult to park our truck. Also, the property is near a freeway so there was plenty of noise.

    It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. My room was a perfect size and I liked our private balcony.

    We had the King Studio with a “Mountain View”. The view was of the outdoor back stairway. We had to keep our shades drawn because the other guests used those stairs. The room was very small. We couldn’t even open a full sized suitcase without tripping over it. The street it sits on is close to State st. and the harbor, but super busy.

    The whole facility was lovely and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and they had air conditioning, which is not always the case in small California inns. The breakfast was delicious.

    Location is not totally amazing, but it's fairly close to the beach and State Street, so, still pretty good. And once you're in the Hideaway, it lives up to its name and you feel like you're in a peaceful getaway.

    Breakfast was wonderful, the staff were super welcoming and warm. Afternoon fresh-baked cookies were delicious. Room was recently updated and really nice, beds were great, shower was fabulous.

    The room had a balcony, but it just looks over the parking area and an ugly building. I think if you are on the top level you should have a nicer view.

    The room looked exactly like the photos. The place was clean. The staff was friendly. The complimentary breakfast is a nice touch. I would stay here again.

    The breakfast varied day by day in terms of quality. The cleaning / food service staff seemed disorganized and a little rough around the edges for a property at this price point.

    The loft style room was perfect with a queen sized bed and two twins. This worked perfect for my two girlfriends and myself for our girl's trip to Santa Barbara. Super cute and comfortable for our stay.

    I do think that the prices are very steep and parking is a challenge if you are driving a car which is bigger than a regular limousine/small SUV. Breakfast is good but it would have been nice to have a bit of a choice and not only "the breakfast of the day" and there is no coffee/tea maker in the room

    the Hotel is really cute and comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are beautifully decorated. great staff and exceptional service.

    The parking was very crowded. Because the brick planter beds were lining the driveway, maneuvering a rental car was nerve wracking.

    Breakfast was delicious. Location was great for walking to downtown and also to the wharf

    The room was very warm overnight. When we arrived it was raining like crazy and there was no one at the front desk. We ended up waiting in the car for 10 to 15 minutes.

    The breakfast was outstanding. We would love to have the recipe! We were very pleased to find an affordable place to stay at the last minute. We were caught in Santa Barbara during the heavy rains when the 101 was closed in both directions. The big hotel chains were jacking up their prices and taking advantage of the many people that where stuck with no way to return to their homes.
