This is a nice renovated hotel with a great location a block from the beach. The hotel is quiet and comfortable. We booked a room with a balcony. There are a bunch of restaurants about 4 blocks away. I appreciate being able to park my car and walk to restaurants and the beach. The pier is also very close, a few blocks down. The rate included breakfast, but it was pretty weak, just coffee, juice and a few pastries. Overall, I would recommend and stay here again.

Nice hotel. Close to the beach, the pier, and downtown Santa Barbara. Had a suite that was clean and roomy, with a comfortable bed and a private balcony. Only minor complaint is that the Continental breakfast could have been better. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
