A very relaxing and stress...

Liked: The location is great, but it is a bit hard to find immediately from the hectic entrance on Montecito. Just be prepared for its immediate appearance! The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful and the room was so nice, clean and comfortable. There is a definite feeling of being in a treehouse. A big plus was the trail just a block away up to the SBCC Campus and gardens overlooking the harbor. Such an awesome little hike for me and my dog! Frankly, this was a big surprise and a treat to be able to get to the beach without driving or really negotiating any major streets beyond Montecito. Pershing Park is just right there as well- so plenty of space to exercise my dog.

Disappointing

Liked: Beautiful bed and breakfast and nice staff. Booked the suite unit on the top floor.
Disliked: The shower did not work and was not distributing very little water. It was really stressful as I was trying to get ready for a Gala event and struggled to get enough pressure from the shower head to rinse the shampoo and conditioner. As I went to check out housekeeping let me know that the water was going back into the wall and flooded the room below. Disappointed they even rented my room to me knowing the shower did not work. Wouldn't the cleaning team have caught this when they tried to clean the shower from the previous guest? They said they would credit me back 50% of the night for all the inconvenience but the credit never came through.
