Nice amenities at a good price

The grounds are lovely and relaxing. Unfortunately the jacuzzi was not heated. The pool, though not heated, was a nice swim. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table while we sat under the outdoor Edison lights and I got to crochet. Good variety of sitting spaces to enjoy the garden. The full breakfast was good with enough variety of choices. Eating breakfast on the patio was nice while there was also plenty of space to eat inside. The room was comfortable and clean and four of us were able to sit and enjoy chatting. It's a great location near UCSB and restaurants. Easy on/off highway access. I would stay here again.

I very much enjoyed my stay. So close to groceries and so many eateries. Walking distance to everything I needed, plus very quiet and serene. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Though I didn't have time to use the pool, the view was beautiful and added to the serenity. This will be my go to place when I come to Santa Barbara!
