This hotel is a lovely option for a relaxing stay with beautiful grounds and a spacious, well-equipped room. The outdoor pool area is attractive and a great place to unwind. While the dining options were limited, the complimentary bike rentals were a fantastic bonus for exploring the area. However, be prepared for a bit of a walk to downtown Santa Barbara.

5.8/10

My stay at the hotel started off beautifully with its well-maintained gardens and striking design, but unfortunately, the service brought my experience down. I encountered quite a few hidden fees that made my stay feel less enjoyable, and the interior of the rooms seemed a bit worn out. While the nearby breakfast spot, Jack's Bistro, was excellent, and the valet service was always friendly, I can't say I left feeling satisfied with the value for money.

Rooms

The rooms had a solid feel but were outdated and in need of maintenance, which was disappointing.
