The gentleman who checked us in recommended the Santa Barbara public market and our food was awesome. The hotel was a good walking distance to food and shopping.
Staff was awesome and very knowledgeable about the area. Place is hip and chic, parking was a breeze and the room is perfect size. Can’t wait to come back again.
I liked the hotel in general. The location is great. The staff were good and friendly. The room I stayed in was good with a couple of exception that were a big deal. The biggest issue was that the refridgerator was plugged in to the light switch. This isn't normal and as a person who tries to be contious of power useage, I shut off the light switch not knowing what it controlled. The issue is that upon arrival I opened a cooled refridgerator. Once I knew the refridgerator was working my wife and I purchased while out several nice/expensive pastries and other food which upon departure found to be warm and ruined since the refridgerator was not on. This was a little costly and very frustrating. The other issue was the bed frame that sounded like a gong when you got on and off one side of the bed. I guess the frame was made of some sort of thin metal. I'm not sure.
I would consider staying there again but I would make sure that upfront these two issues were addressed.
Perfect spot, cute, quiet, and perfect for a getaway

The room was fine. No fridge and the smoke detector were missing though. The TV remote was buried in the chair and we didn't find it until we were about to leave. The bad was when we woke up there were thousands of ants in the room that we had to kill. There are a lot of holes in the walls from cutout drywall or prior repairs that were never patched and that's where the ants were coming in from. Wouldn't recommend based on that.
Do not stay here if you want a good nights sleep. You can hear every guest coming and going all night long. There is absolutely no sound proofing. You will hear people talking up and down the stairs, all conversations, car doors slamming. The furniture in the rooms was mismatched and had weird paint stains. The room was sterile feeling as there was not one picture on the white walls. The lobby area was cute but the rooms did not reflect the same decor.
Gas station right across the street where I got a bottled water the first night (got in late). Overall it was a great hotel for the price, and I felt safe. My only complaint was a strange smell. Not really sure what it was and by the second night, I got used to it.
