Bed was very comfy but I didn’t like paying for parking if I’m already staying there so no free parking was a con but many pros overall. Love that check out is noon because you don’t feel rushed to leave although we checked out by 11:20am it’s nice not to feel rushed. Walking distance to most amenities.

Charm, without the extra baggage

The perfect little hotel that’s walkable on Coast Village Rd. Right in the heart of Montecito and easy access to restaurants, shops, and more. It’s simple, classic, and very charming.

Perfect little stay

Perfect location and priced nicely for what it is. Small and simple rooms with $10 parking for overnight. Nice little pool area and very friendly office staff. Easy and affordable stay in a area perfect for walking and offers free bicycle rentals from the hotel.

We have stayed here twice and always enjoy our stay. Rent the bikes, ride along the coast! It’s the perfect location with restaurants and shopping at your fingertips. I would say my only complaint is just that the beds are incredibly firm and the pillows will leave your neck a bit sore for a few days afterwards, but that could just be my personal preference at play here. We do enjoy our stay and hopefully next year we will make it back!

I plan to return

The hotel is in an excellent area with several restaurants. Although it doesn’t offer breakfast, there are plenty of options on the hotel’s street. The room is very good, and the heater is very quiet. The staff was super friendly. Parking costs $10, which is much more affordable than in LA or San Diego.
