The hotel is well located to explore the nicer part of Montecito for shops and restaurants. The room is fairly large and nicely appointed. They offer free electric vehicle charging which is an excellent boon if you're driving up there in an EV. All the staff were very helpful, especially the gentleman running the garage and valet service. There was one problem in the bathroom fixtures, but they readily came up to fix it and solve the problem.
