First of all, if you book here, you are paying for the privacy, the service, and the gardens all of which are ideal. You are not paying for a large room. Don't expect your room to be big at all. It is cozy, warm, simple and private.
Everything was clean and there was good coffee in the room for the morning. My jacuzzi worked fine (just fill up the water to above the jet level BEFORE you turn it on!). I loved the decoration in my room (the Hideaway), too. It rained while I was in Santa Barbara and my room even had a little awning which looks like it was just recently put in. Quite thoughtful. Host was entertaining (if a little odd), and the kitchen staff was very nice and helped me get something special for my wife. I kept my door mostly open and sat in the gardens. The location is very quiet (residential) and there is some off-street parking as well. We are walking distance from a ton of shops as well. Wonderful experience and I would get the same place again.
