Sitting at the bar during happy hour was amazing. Kayla made the best martinis and was super attentive and accommodating. We had the burgers and fried chicken. 10/10 can’t wait to run it back

10/10 recommend the fried chicken. Kayla at the bar was so sweet and accommodating. She made the experience that much sweeter.

Lovely hotel, pretty central in Santa Barbera (which was stunning, a complete revelation!). Charming service. Rooftop pool has a jaw droppingly stunning view - loved it. Pool itself is small but it barely mattered. Rooms were spacious and clean. Would definitely return.
