This hotel located in the heart of Montecito is very well situated for walking the town, eating, drinking, even visiting the beach. It is well-maintained, however, simply due to its age the accommodations can only be so good. The rooms are small, especially the bathroom, and despite the best effort to modernize and utilize the given space, there is an undeniable odor or mildew that lingers still on my clothing. The bed was very nice and the enlargened step-in shower very adequate, but the low toilet positioned so close to the wall it was difficult to maneuver. Nonethless, the greeting staff were kind and efficient. Bicycles are available on-property. The location superb and a great price for weekday stay during the summer.
