Cute renovated old hotel with the vintage elevator very charming. However, I booked the hotel because it was promoted as a hotel with a spa. However, it did not have a spa and recommended a spa that was several miles away. Although I think I might go back cute.

The hotel was small, but its location in an upscale area was very pleasant; the staff were also very friendly. However, I was unhappy about being charged several hundred dollars extra after checking out. I emailed them to find out it was some kind of undercharged tax. It's very unfair that the hotel undercharged me initially and then secretly deducted money from my credit card without notifying me. Breakfast was practically nonexistent – ​​just coffee, fruit, and donuts every day.

We had a great overnight here. The property has an EXCELLENT location. The hotel is from the 1920’s and they have done an ok job with the upkeep. The pool was heated and clean and the hot tub was wonderful. The beds were big and comfortable. Only issue was that it was a bit noisy in the early AM as you could hear street noise and trash trucks dumping in the alley next to the hotel. But perhaps it was just the location of that room. All of the staff were genuinely nice, knowledgeable and super helpful! The bar attached - Lion’s Mane was a highlight- amazing ambience, cocktails, and food. For an older hotel the gym has everything you need - even a Peloton! A great find!

I was offered a room with a window that did not finction, next to a loud extra large resturant air-conditioning unit on the roof, and icing on the cake was the extra loud noise from the restaurant kichen window across my room window that were wash8ng glsses and dishes making noise for straight 2.5 hrs before I changed my room.

Aged. Poor finishes. Everything was crooked - floor, doors, etc. The bed was comfortable. Noisey as it's near a freeway. If you go into it thinking an antique experience you will be fine. If you are looking for Montecito elegant. Look elsewhere.
