"It felt like a charming, small-scale boutique hotel. The exterior beautifully reflected the architectural style influenced by the Spanish colonial heritage of the Santa Barbara area. The interior design throughout the hotel was also lovely, creating a relaxing, resort-like atmosphere.
The room we stayed in was about 500 sq. ft.—cozy, clean, and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast buffet was neat and delicious. Parking was spacious, and it was convenient that we could access our room directly from the parking area through connecting walkways on each floor without having to go through the lobby—especially great for families with kids, as it minimized walking distance.
A minor downside was that there’s a storage building right next to the hotel, which can make it a bit confusing to find the entrance using navigation. The entrance itself is also quite narrow, so temporarily parking your car can be a little inconvenient. Other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay. Within a 5-minute drive, there was a shopping center with a grocery mall and various stores, which was very convenient. Overall, very satisfied! "
