First we were greeted by a friendly face who was very nice. Tye young man explained everything to us about their breakfast in the morning, the bike rental that came with the stay. We only stayed one night because we were just passing through that night but the room was very clean and didn’t have any weird smells. I’d stay there again if I go back to Santa Barbra.

Hotel was fantastic and in the perfect location. Staff was also the best. No detail left undone in their remodel and amenities. Only suggestion I would give is adding a gas firepit to their small social area.
