Everything was very very good.
The restaurant could be a bit better, it's good, but definitely not to the level that the hotel is. If the hotel is 5, the restaurant is a solid 4. Service was very good, but some dishes were not up to the level.
10.0
Food, service, the room, hotel amenities were all fantastic. Hard to beat the location tucked into the Santa Barbara hills, very peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed hanging by the pool and taking in the incredible views. Our room was incredible, very spacious and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay.
The pool area is not that large, and no separate area (or not that we saw) for kids. So you may get some kids in the mornings jumping in. Additionally there were a few guests using their phones/face times at the pool which was quite loud.

Gorgeous property & we got upgraded to a room with a balcony view which was large & well appointed. Staff was friendly and attentive at every turn and outlet. My pup was welcomed with a large bed & lovely grooming amenities, as well as dog muffins at breakfast. Food was very good, pool was relaxing & we always had water and snacks provided. The grounds were immaculate & cleanliness was excellent. A very unique and memorable experience & stay we hope to repeat. Will check out the spa next time!
Dinner service (particularly drinks/cocktails) was a bit slow due to staff shortages but the team that was there were all doing a great job regardless and very apologetic. The phones did not work our first full day and but it was fixed within a few hours.

Love the view from the pool
Great e-bikes available to get into town
Complementary beverages and snacks provided in the room on arrival
While not in town, you are above the fog and close to great cycling routes
Really helpful valet staff
Pool area is small.....but on the upside, the intimacy means people make friends chatting to each other!
We were locked out of our room despite being given a late checkout
It's pricey.

The property is a blissful getaway that can not be compared. Elegance, class, attention to detail, and most importantly respectful staff. Always met with a “hello” good morning and goodnight- much appreciated for everything!
