The customer service was exceptional. We were married by the courthouse in Santa Barbara and we stayed here right after our ceremony and the staff did everything to make our visit extra comfortable and fun because of it. Our room was clean and the bed was so soft and comfy. I loved their plush pillows. The location of the hotel is perfect,it's just walking distance from downtown activities. We will definitely be back.

Super cute hotel with such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly - from valet to the front desk, as well as everyone at the restaurant and bar. I especially loved that they offered a texting option for any requests, which made everything feel so convenient and seamless. The room was spacious with modern furniture and very comfortable beds. The walls were a bit thin, but thankfully it never got too noisy during our stay. Also - the vanilla latte is a must. So good! I’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend staying here.
