“This spot wins on location, placing you right on State Street near Santa Barbara's action. While some rooms could use a little TLC-fresh towels and a deeper clean would go a long way-the free parking is a real plus. If you value being in the heart of things and don't mind some quirks, it might just hit the mark.”
