"Coming from Colorado, it was so nice to have the green gardens, flowering shrubs and plants, and al fresco breakfasts on the patio every morning."
"There is free off-street parking and the Inn is within walking distance to State Street."
"The complementary off street parking lot is spacious, manicured and feels very safe."

Its location places guests near Santa Barbara's attractions, but it's the personalized attention that elevates the experience. A stay here promises a unique and thoughtfully curated getaway.”
