Excellent location to walk to the beach and zoo. Spotless and well maintained property. Felt safe the entire time. The kitchen could use forks and new pans. We heard the kids running upstairs but luckily we were still able to fall sleep.

Absolutely loved my stay. I Will certainly stay here again. The only issue I had was with the wifi. It didn’t seem to reach my room and my cell service was having issues in Santa Barbara in general. Such a cute Inn. Came here to unplug from busy life and absolutely was able to do that. About a 30 minute walk to Funk Town for good coffee. Such a beautiful walk. But ultimately you are steps from the beach with free parking and a gated pool. You really are winning staying here.

It was a great place to stay. Coffee in the morning, wine in the afternoon and freshly baked cookies at 5pm each day which the kids loved. Pool & floaties were also a big hit. Free parking. However if you provide a kitchenette it needs to be equipped. I had to ask for so many things bowls, plates, sharp knife. There was no peeler and lids didn't match the saucepans. Not sure whether we'd stay again tbh but it was nice enough.

I highly recommend this hotel. Josh was amazing. He made a dinner reservation for us when we otherwise wouldn't be able to get in. He was really helpful. The hotel is nearly across the street from the beach in a great location. Beds were comfortable. Room was super clean and beachy cute. I would absolutely stay here again.
