This place charges too much for what they offer-a pool that is not heated, really small rooms with uncomfortable beds, so-so service. We had hoped for a better experience...the cafe and bar are fun though and we will be back for a meal sometime. They either need to lower their prices or step it up on the service/amenities.

We found this little gem whilst travelling from Bakersfield to Santa Barbara and stopped for brunch. Excellent coffee and one of the best burritos I’ve had for a long time. Great vibe, friendly service, would definitely recommend.

We stayed a night, accepting the high price. We expected a very nice room and looked forward to the amenities. We also accepted the price because there was a restaurant with exceptional reviews. The room was just nice and the common areas were ok, clean and well maintained. The pool and jacuzzi were also well maintained and clean with a frozen in time vibe. The sauna was a disappointment, it didn’t get hot and we gave up after waiting 30 minutes. The room? It was small and very clean. There is a small desk with very little space for personal use. The space is taken up by a boil pot with some tea bags and INSTANT COFFEE packets, and a tray selling expensive wine and snacks. The mini fridge is undersized even for a mini fridge and is packed full of more items you can purchase. There is no room to put your own items. We couldn’t even fit our leftovers from dinner. The restaurant was sub par and expensive. The waitress was very nice and apologized multiple times for our sticky table, it wasn’t dirty, just a bad finish. I got the tri tip and husband got a barbecue plate. Steak was good, barbecue was dry, cold, tough with sauce in little cups on the side. Mashed potatoes were flavorless and were cold from contact with the room temperature cast iron pan it is served in. No salt and pepper unless you ask. Breakfast? Hmmm. Doesn’t open until 8:30 so we had to make do with INSTANT COFFEE until then. We both got 2 eggs over easy, his yolks were broken and eggs cooked solid and my eggs had runny whites. Served in a room temp cast iron pan. The toast was more dried than toasted and the potatoes were dry and bland. I could have asked for butter but it would not have melted on anything. I did ask for salt and pepper this time. My biggest complaint is not about price except it is about price when the experience was average. 400+ a night room and we share space with upsells. I am sorry but instant coffee is an insult. Dinner and 2 drinks, and breakfast for 2 was 175. Not bad, if it was good. Hot food and good coffee would have gone far to making this experience better. (I actually walked around looking for the coffee, filtered water, and snacks for guests) THe BEST part was the cats.
