Simpson House Inn

Great getaway in Santa Barbara.

Liked: Great shady location. Beautiful gardens in the heart of SB. Around the clock treats!

One night is not enough...

Liked: This is a beautiful place to stay! We loved the feel and the decor of the house, and our room was beautifully appointed with very authentic antique furniture and art. The grounds are lovely with interesting plants and fountains. The breakfast and snacks provided were excellent, and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. From the Simpson House, you can drive to almost any SB attraction in minutes, so we found the location to be excellent. It should be mentioned that our room was smaller than a typical hotel, and some bathrooms are separate from the room (but private). But overall, this was a delightful B & B, and we will return!
Disliked: Our bed was comfortable, but it was difficult to access it from both sides--too close to the wall. The water pressure was weak in our bathroom, so we will request a different room next time.

Very good

Disappointing and impersonal.

Disliked: When arrived, exactly when I had said, there was no one there, as the staff member had gone out for a sandwich! Very off hand, when he did return after 20 minutes. Staff not at all visible, very impersonal. Breakfast was poor - fancy and cooked to order, but not well executed. Such a shame, as most B&Bs I have stayed in in the US have been really pleasant and friendly.

Relaxing friendly comfortable garden and...

Liked: Beautiful garden very peaceful lovely staff
Disliked: Toilet and shower were very small but it did say it was.

Superb
