Newly renovated one bedroom suites with tasteful decor. Gorgeous lobby/bar area and beautiful patio/garden area with luscious vegetation. The hotel restaurant is great, and the gourmet breakfast was delicious. Don't forget to see the Sexton historic house, which is in the middle of the hotel property.

I booked a suite with garden view which is a little more expensive than the standard suite. I arrived Saturday evening at around 8 PM and we were given a standard room with a view to the parking lot. I asked the girl at the reception, and she said the hotel was fully booked and there was nothing she could do.

Loved the grounds, the pool, the tents/cabanas that offered some privacy at the pool. Also appreciated the blackout curtains, the precise temperature control in the room and the comfy bed. And the staff was very responsive and quick to bring us things we asked for (i.e. a highchair for our son).

The room wasn't ready at 4pm; it was 1.5 hours late. My husband paid $9 for an espresso from an automatic machine at the bar and he said it was the most he's ever paid for a mediocre (and non-hand-crafted) coffee. $20 per night to self-park also seemed a bit steep. And the pull-out bed wasn't comfortable and we didn't have sheets to put on it. (Though it had some kind of mattress pad.)

The location was very central and easy drive to downtown Santa Barbara, the beach and even Costco😄. We enjoyed our visit, my children loved the area and the inn. They said it was fancy. They loved the hot tub and pool. I loved the gardens, the smell of jasmin as you walk along the path towards Terra. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

We were looking for a microwave in the room but that we can live without.😁
