The room was cozy with a nice bed and fireplace. The ocean view balcony is big and has a great view but the traffic on the freeway kind of spoils the experience. It’s too bad the traffic noise is so loud but the hotel is cute and cozy

Stayed here years ago, just didn't seem the same. Breakfast wasn't offered daily, and wasn't what we remembered from previous visits. A touch of professionalism was lacking in staffs appearance. We probably won't stay again but we wish them the best

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.

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!
