Front desk lady was very rude and made me pay an extra $100 deposit. The room was okay and clean but the furniture was very outdated and the mirror frame was broken. Just looked run down.

The property was charming, the room dated but clean and the area was quiet. The amenities were ok, check in smooth. I missed have some hangers in the room for my clothes. The cost was reasonable for Santa Barbara.
