Great hotel in a great location!
Great stay with a clean and modern room. The pool area was nice as well. You could hear people walking and talking and the bathroom in our own room was not soundproof but other than that, it was great! Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and attentive!

Charming hotel in SB
Such a charming little hotel in SB! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable! They even had bikes we rented to ride around the city. The hotel is a bike ride away from lots of little shops and restaurants! I would most definitely recommend this hotel and will be booking there again next time I am in SB!

Quiet and Great Location
Just a "Get into the Sun & outta the Rain" vacation. The location was great for walking to the market, sight seeing, the wharf and state street. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle though. Beautiful, updated rooms and pool area.

I booked an accessible room after my husband's knee replacement surgery. The room worked really well for us and made our short stay easy with someone who was still using a walker. They also had a car charging station which was a pleasant surprise.
