8.4/10 Very Good! (506 reviews)
"Nice boutique hotel, but pictures were a bit deceiving.I️ didn’t love the peekaboo shower with glass into the bedroom. Also the sink was in the washroom. For the price I️ expected a bit more. I️ will say the location and staff was very responsive. Parking was off-site, affordable and no valet."

"This is a very cute boutique hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara. It's clean and decorated in a retro & nautical theme.
