This is a beautiful property with lovely grounds and spacious rooms featuring large bathrooms. The staff was consistently lovely and accommodating throughout our stay. We didn’t try the on-site restaurant, but the pool was fabulous and never felt overcrowded. The gym is nothing special, though it’s convenient to have one available. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to check in a couple of hours early, which made a big difference after traveling.
The location is great—close enough to downtown Santa Barbara, and Ubers to Montecito/Santa Barbara were only $12–18 per trip. I would happily book this hotel again on future visits to Santa Barbara.

Outstanding luxury experience. Could do a tiny bit more for dining (snack options).

What a lovely stay. It was our anniversary and James the concierge made sure everything was perfect, which it was. Food was outstanding. Room service meals hot and delicious. Thanks to the entire team there.
