Very clean and fresh. Had a lovely ambiance and the room was a good size. Perfect to wander to the beach or restaurants/bars with free parking. The breakfast was simple but good quality food, teas and coffee. We loved our stay which was unfortunately only for one night.

The pool is small and comfortable to sit around Overall one of our best stays in Santa Barbara in a great boutique hotel

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

As hoteliers/restaurateurs, we have a different and sometimes stricter perspective than others. I can only congratulate the hotelier here. We had room 320 and were completely satisfied. What a great room and the service was always unobtrusively nice and courteous. We have traveled halfway around the world but rarely have we stayed in such a great hotel. Congratulations! As there was not a hair in the soup to be found, we can wholeheartedly give a full score here...🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
