It’s in the perfect spot on State Street. You can walk or ride the bikes they provide to food, drink and shopping. Cigars right down the street and the beach a bit past that, what more can you ask for?

Totally remodeled rooms are really great. Lobby not complete but workaround registration process is quite smooth. Valet parking for a fee. Unique ice and water bar in hallway on each floor. No restaurant, but State St has more than enough options for dining. Pet-friendly.

Best location if you are visiting Santa Barbara. It is located right at the middle of State Street, the heart of Santa Barbara downtown. Room is better than I expected. Although the room is little small but everything is new and remodeled. It is very comfortable and feels very nice. Love this place.

When we arrived at 4pm we were told our rooms weren’t ready and we were going to be moved around in order to find a room ready for us. I found it weird at regular check in time they acted surprised we were checking in for the night? We got our keys and when we opened our room door there was already luggage in our room. We called the front desk and spoke with Alex. He told us it was a mix up and somebody would be right up to figure out the situation. We waited over 30 minutes and had to call back 3 times before somebody came up. All of the staff just didn’t seem organized or prepared to hosts guests. It is a beautiful hotel, very clean and great location on state street. I just don’t know that we will be back after how we felt everything was handled.

This has always been one of my favorite hotels in the area. It’s old but extremely well maintained. The historic nature was a huge part of the draw for me when I stayed here the first time years ago. Now they are remodeling and it’s only gotten better. The room refresh is fantastic and feels very modern for amenities while maintaining the historic charm of the building. I can’t wait to see the finished lobby on my next stay. The location is perfect for enjoying SB’s nightlife

$30 a night for Valet is absolutely ridiculous, that is something i was not expecting..... also the hotel smelled like fresh paint, rooms were tiny - before a guest books a room they should be informed of all this.
