We were in SB for business and stayed here since it was a "bargain" by the town's standards. It's got a great location within walking distance. It was clean (except for leftover half drank water bottle in room's fridge) but small. Nicely furnished. I'd asked for the quietest room and we got one with not much people noise on top... More

I expected only basics of the Express level hotel but this one really surprised me. Two characteristics are certainly worth mentioning: (1) this is a historic building (built early 20th century) and as such has the charm and does not have a smell of a cheap hotel, (2) the staff is super-nice. Strongly recommended. Santa Barbara is generally pretty pricey... More

My wife and I planned a weekend get-away in Santa Barbara. Just before finalizing our plans, we had to replace both the furnace and air conditioner units in our home. Originally planning to stay at a luxury hotel on the beach, the cost of the new HVAC systems required us to cut back on the hotel. We selected Holiday Inn... More

After reading all the trip advisor reviews my boyfriend and I requested a room away from the road, and as we realized on arrival this hotel is across the road from a rowdy pub and very close to e main strip or State Street. I think we were just unlucky as we stayed on a Saturday night and had a... More

My husband and I made a trip out to S.B. to visit my brother who is attending UCSB. We booked this hotel through hotwire and had no idea what to expect. Upon arriving, i recall reading trip advisor reviews about a stale coffee odor that lingered in the entry and understood what they meant. Aside from that smell, the location... More

I took my girlfriend to Santa Barbara for our anniversary. They addressed my special requests comment by calling me the morning before I was to arrive. They put a complimentary bottle of wine in the room for me as well as offered a local florist's information, Victor's Florist, who was equally as pleasant to work with, to insure flowers and... More

Room was good sized and felt pretty clean. And so was the bathroom. No complaints there. Parking is not so good unless park early in the day and leave your car there. If you try to park at night, there are no spots left. You have to double park and leave your keys with the front desk. I didn't feel... More

This hotel is on the national historic register, and the service, staff, and management were excellent. Comp. Breakfast,hot & cold daily, located one block from State street, the main drag in S.B., convenient to all. Very clean,unusual rooms and reasonably priced.

Nice clean hotel with good service, but no one offered to carry our suitcases or show us to to room which is a standard in $250 a night hotel. This place sort off reminds me of La Quinta, including the pathetic breakfast. Of course LQ is $60-$90 a night so I see this acceptable over there. But it seem that... More
