It was quiet, clean and located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, walkable to stores and restaurants. The historic architecture of the building was very cool, our room was very cozy & comfortable.

The hotel has charm and personality. The area around it was a little “touristy” but not too overwhelming.
