“In my opinion, this downtown property leverages its historic architecture and central State Street location, placing guests amid Santa Barbara's prime shopping and dining. Though some rooms are compact, they are well-appointed, and I think the ongoing renovations should maintain the comfort. For travellers seeking a characterful base and walkable access to the city, I would recommend considering this hotel.”
