The hotel offers stunning views of the harbor from the spacious rooms, but occasional sewage-like odors can be off-putting. The staff, though friendly, missed opportunities for better service, especially regarding room amenities. The location is a win for its convenience to attractions and friendly staff, but it could benefit from a facelift. Dining disappoints with basic, packaged foods, but exceptional guava jam is a surprise highlight.

The room size was great with a lovely view in front of windows overlooking the harbor. However, there was an off-putting odor almost like sewage that would come and go.

The location was a definite win for us with close proximity to everything, but the property could use a facelift and better furniture. Convenient to the beach and various dining options, it allowed us to explore without needing a car.

Despite some issues with room odors and noise, the hotel's location across from the harbor and beach walk was brilliant, offering easy access to various amenities. The service was helpful and friendly, although cleanliness in some areas left something to be desired. The dining experience was lacking due to limited breakfast options. Overall, the hotel offers good value for its price.

The hotel's rooms are so nice and perfect for what we needed for an overnight stopover in Santa Barbara, close to all local hotspots. The service was extremely kind and accommodating, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The location allowed us to explore the area easily on foot, although it could get a bit noisy due to the busy road. The dining experience offered nice options with fresh ingredients. Overall, a no-frills but cozy stay with friendly service.

The hotel rooms were not as clean as I would have liked, smelled musty, and didn't feel super safe. However, the staff was friendly and attentive. The location was spot on, right in front of the beach. The dining experience, although the staff was good, was laughable with pre-packaged products.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were large, comfortable, and clean with cute decor, a massive shower, and a small private outdoor patio. However, the bathrooms had some issues with drainage and safety features, making me use earplugs to sleep well for the first couple of nights.

I found the hotel to be a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. The rooms were small but rather cozy, with a good size, but the thin walls made it easy to hear other guests. The service was wonderful overall, except for some noise disruptions nearby. The location was convenient, though not particularly inviting due to the neighborhood. The dining options were disappointing with mostly packaged foods. However, the hotel does offer some great facilities.
