We LOVED our room; very spacious, with lots of windows. Early December, so can't speak to the lack of AC; rather, the fireplace was great .. Also, we were on 2nd floor, so can't speak to 'overhead' noises .. yes, plastic-wrapped pastries aren't much of a 'continental breakfast', but they DID also have fresh coffee (and we had a kitchen, with Keurig machine, so all good on that front ) .. Staff was VERY helpful for the few requests we had. Bed 'seemed' like it would be a bit on the 'too soft' side, but slept well all 7 nights ! The ocean and walking/biking paths are just a few minutes away, so that was great too .. My sister ended up booking a nearby room after visiting with us and she was quite happy too. would definitely return here if in the area again !

It was beautiful to wake up at the beach location every day. We had a longer stay so the staff gave us a balcony to see the sunrise each morning. We also brought our dog and were thankful the hotel accommodated that. We highly recommend this hotel.

Super cute remodeled hotel, very clean, endless places to walk to. I would request an upstairs room because it this spot was definitely built before concrete floors.

What a delightful find in way expensive Santa Barbara. The Inn was quaint and we loved the retro colors and interior themes. We had a suite which was roomy and comfortable with a full kitchen, fireplace, balcony and flat screen TV. it would be ideal for someone or a small family on a budget that was staying in SB for several days. The zoo was literally in the backyard and only a two minute walk to East Beach. We'll be back!

The location is great, the rooms are ok and the person at the reception is very nice and helpful. The main issue we faced was noise. If you are not on the top floor you will hear very loud steps and noises from above. Also if you have noisy neighbors you will hear everything.

This was a great location very close to the beach. Room was plain but comfortable. Location was great to access all of the SB waterfront. Hotel was quiet at night. No air conditioning so might be hot in summer.
