Pros
Pet-friendly rooms with welcome gifts for four-legged guests
Second-floor terraces accessible to all hotel guests
On-site art gallery featuring local artists
Water refill stations available on both floors
Cons
Proximity to train tracks may cause occasional noise
Some rooms are compact in size
“In my opinion, this hotel's strongest suit is its location in the Funk Zone; for exploring Santa Barbara's art and wine scene, it's a superb base. The compact, artful rooms have a European vibe, and the hotel thoughtfully provides complimentary bikes. While the on-site Mexican restaurant is a draw, I would say that guests should consider potential parking costs and the small room sizes when booking.”
