The property’s 150 guest rooms are furnished in traditional Hacienda style and each features a private balcony or patio with views of the gardens or pools. All accommodations have refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, including free HBO, movie rentals and Wi-Fi. Guests can choose between one king, two queens or two double beds or upgrade to rooms with king beds and two sofa beds to sleep families of six. Complimentary bottled water, fresh fruit, Lorna Doone cookies and cozy seersucker robes greet visitors upon arrival.

The rooms were supposed to be non smoking but all the pillows smelled like cigarettes and cigarette butts were found on the rooms patio. The jacuzzi hours could be extended so guest who are out sightseeing can enjoy them. Also gusts should be reminded to please keep early morning noise down until after 7 am. We’re were constantly awakened starting at 4 am by multiple guests talking in the next rooms, slamming room doors, cars starting etc.

They gave us a very nice welcome and a good bottle of pinot noir from the person checking us in. The room was quiet and very nice if a bit dated but overall, was a very good value. Will definitely return to this hotel.

A wonderful little oasis in Santa Barbara, so easy to get in and out of the State St area and then enjoy the peace and greenery of our hotel. Loved the garden atmosphere and the two pools/hot tubs. The staff was completely lovely and helped us figure out exactly where to visit. Would definitely come back!
