The location is wonderful… close to State Street and within walking distance of the Arlington theate, the court house, the presidio and many fabulous restaurants. We also took a Lyft to the newer ‘ Funk Zone’. Great vibe there.

Comfortable Santa Barbara Vibe

Quiet, comfortable, with an old Santa Barbara vibe. Very nice spread for breakfast and walkable to the center district-if you like to walk. I’ll stay again.

The room we stayed in was definitely older, but it had a charm to it. It didn’t have as many amenities as one might expect for this price, but it was still a beautiful property.
