Beautiful hotel in fantastic location...

Liked: The room is beautifully appointed and the hotel is located in the best possible location.
Disliked: The cups in the room were not washed when the room was cleaned.The so called restaurant was short on 4 dishes and had a limited menu. For such a beautiful hotel there should be a fine dining restaurant.

Great location - nice hotel...

Liked: Great location with hotel spread across three buildings at the end of state street and near Stearn’s pier - location is good and just one block from the water
Disliked: Honestly overpriced for what we paid along the PCH - unsure if that is time of year or just Santa Barbara
