Beautiful setting, tastefully decorated rooms that were very comfortable and luxurious
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little inn. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was full of thoughtful touches—including a sound machine, which we set to ocean waves. It completely drowned out any highway noise, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. We’ll absolutely be back!
Lydia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the comphy beds!
Cynthia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location on Lillie Ave within walking distance to breakfast and lunch eateries. Great trendy shopping and fabulous bookstore all nearby. Be aware the hotel is near the freeway and rail tracks, as is all of Summerland, so it can be noisy if you leave the window open.
William, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely room. Relaxed vibe.
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nora assisted me by phone and greeted me upon arrival - introducing herself, which was most welcoming! I arrived early and she still quickly showed me to my beautiful room overlooking the ocean. I love it! I’d seen this room on the website and admired it even then. Very happily installed here. Will visit again.
JANE, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great Property - A bit pricey and the coffee service was minimalist... Beautiful room with an incredibly comfortable bed... We will definitely be coming back!
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The only negative at the hotel is that it is directly next to Highway 101. We had difficulty sleeping because of the traffic noise. Other than that, it was a nice hotel.
vickie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What an amazing little get away for visitors from LA or even from Santa Barbara! We loved all the little bites they provided and the great view.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!
Christie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It’s right by the freeway and loud. Early check in and check out is $25 per hour extra. Even though their website says breakfast is included, it’s not. They did not even want to give us the free coffee in the lobby saying we booked through a third party. We booked through Expedia and it was not cheap at all. For $350 a night, this was not what I expected. Hotel is clean and the room was nice. And the area is also nice.
Berivan, 2-night trip

Great location within walking distance to some good food and stores. Only problem was when someone decided to take a bath at midnight. Very loud plumbing. Definitely it drowned out the freeway noise.

christiane, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay here. The room was cute and clean and more than anything the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins playing in the water. Close proximity to Montecito and Santa Barara was also a huge plus for us. Highly recommend.
