1. The rooms are excesively small, I barely could walk around the bed.
2. They offer breakfast but they don't tell you that breakfast is just a muffin.
3. Pet policy is a joke, not really pet friendly, we went to the 7 eleven, not even 5 min and manager was calling me saying that my dog was barking, well, that is what dogs do. He yelled at me and hang up the phone. Really a bad experience, look for a better place.

Super friendly staff and wonderful location. Rooms were a little grimy.

This is our go-to hotel when we decide to come up & stay in SB. Parking is never a hassle, it’s right by the beach, just around the corner from Chad’s, & the price is always fair.
The staff is always super nice, accommodating, & just genuinely fantastic. We stayed last weekend & Dan was exceptional & even kind enough to fix us up a plate of cheese, crackers, & wine (because we arrived just after the wine & cheese hour had ended). He even brought it up to our room! :,)
The rooms are cute & clean. We’ve stayed in the queen, 2 bedroom suite with friends, & most recently, the king. The queen is great for 2 people & it just a bathroom, small closet, & bed. The king rooms are more spacious & also have a bigger bathroom/vanity, mini kitchenette with a mini fridge, sink, & if I remember correctly a
microwave, & a larger closet. The 2 bedroom suite is great to stay in w friends or families traveling with children. It has a much larger kitchen & full sized fridge, 2 bathrooms, living area, 2 beds, & plenty of closet space.
If you’re ever looking for a place to stay in SB that’s a great price, in a fantastic area, with exceptional service then I definitely recommend CDMI. :-)
Walkability: It’s right across the street from the beach, just around the corner from Chad’s (great bfast/brunch!)

Dan seemed distracted.

The rooms definitely were in need of maintenance though they were clean. Close to the beach but parking is terrible. Service was wonderful.
Walkability: Walking distance to beach and stores.

Overall a good one night stay and no complains. Close to the beach and restaurants so the location is good!

This little gem was a pleasure to enjoy. Simple rooms, comfortable beds and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the courtyard pit . The Porto's guava and cheese pastries for breakfast were a delightful surprise. We would definitely stay here again.

Would give zero stars if I could. I booked through Hotel Tonight. Only option was a Queen which is all I needed but there was no info on the room or location of the room. I arrived and spoke to the worst front desk person I have ever encountered. He wouldn't even share his name but I overheard him saying it was Dan. I inquired as to whether I could get an interior room for safety. He said no sorry all booked. I then asked about an upstairs room and he refused that too. Said that I had only paid for a Queen and that he couldn't upgrade. It seemed clear he had no interest in helping me out. I checked out the room and felt very uncomfortable as it was on the street with open windows at street level. I walked back to the front and asked if I could speak to a manager. He refused saying Manager is not on site and that he would not share the Manager's contact info. He then said I will call him but he probably won't respond until tomorrow. Everything was difficult and contrary. He then left to go call the Manager at which point I went to call Hotel Tonight. Came back and said he would do a King for one night which made no sense for me as I had booked two. I told him I wanted to cancel and he said he would ask the Manager. He came back and said we will cancel but when I asked him how I would verify with Hotel Tonight he seemed bothered. He then said I have other things to do and started to leave. I was incredulous that any hotel would have him as a front desk person. Note the room was very bizarre with a sink outside the bathroom. No idea why there are good reviews as my whole experience was awful. Note at first glance location looks ok but as I was leaving noticed several homeless folks hanging outside. Would suggest avoiding this hotel at all costs.

I have been traveling a bit this week and this was my last stop and the best stop. Very cute Spanish bungalow style space. Loved the privacy. Very clean. Check in and check out was easy. The front desk staff very friendly, kind and helpful. The room came with a kitchenette and pots, pans, plates, utensils and a new sponge. It's like a little home away from home. Located across from the beach. Very quiet. The only draw back is parking maybe a challenge when you arrive as parking is limited and first come, first serve. There is parking on the street, read the signs as there are restrictions and permitted parking around which means you're not allowed to park there unless you live there with a permit. Once you find parking, my suggestion is eat local and walking around is not too bad just wear comfy shoes. There's lot to see, do and places to shop and eat. You can then comeback to the little oasis that awaits you at this inn. It's pet friendly with a pet fee/day. It's worth it. Can't wait to come back. Already planning my next stay here.Safety: Felt safe within the space and garden area. Streets also felt safe, but does get dark at night.

Amazing place just off the beach in Santa Barbara. We had 3 rooms for family attending a wedding. Inside is like an amazing private botanical garden. Rooms were great. Free light breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese. Service was top notch.

This inn dates from 1925, but looks more like 1940’s bungalow. It was supposedly updated in 2006, but the room we stayed in looked like it was from the 1990’s. The pictures on the website are deceiving, it’s not as nice as the pictures make it look.There was a very dysfunctional kitchen, no counter space, an oven that didn’t work, and no kitchen drawers. The silverware was put in a cupboard on top of some dishes. We had to scrounge dish soap from the inn’s kitchen (which was as old as everything else) There was literally dishes for 2, some pots and pans and that was about it. No serving dishes of any kind, no bowls but cereal bowls.The whole place smelled like mold and mildew. We went out and got some Lysol to spray but it didn’t help much.There was a couch and chair that was so old and dirty I wouldn’t sit on it even covered with a sheet. The springs were shot. They should both go to the dump. Parking is limited.I don’t understand good reviews of this place.Positives are they take dogs, it’s close to the beach and pier, and the have breakfast in the morning. It’s small and quaint with a small courtyard and a fire pit. The staff was friendly and accommodating.It’s too bad this place is not kept up better. It would be lovely to keep the architectural details and update it to the 21st century. It could be so much better. My guess it would need about a million dollars to renovate to make it up to good standards. It would be worth it. I wish I could buy it, I would in a heartbeat. But alas I’m not a money rich person. ?

Always a must go when we are in SB. Went here last night for dinner, and as always, the food was amazing. Already excited for our next visit!

The staff is awesome! The young lady at the front desk provided excellent customer service. She was very personable and extremely helpful.I'd definitely stay there again...the only issue is the parking situation, there's not enough, and if you have a large vehicle, forget trying to use the parking structured spaces.

I love this place, the rooms are clean and cute, they have a nice courtyard area to sit and enjoy some free wine and cheese they serve in the evening. Best part is that this hotel is pet friendly. The location is great, walking distance to everything in the downtown area. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Perfect place to get away with your doggy. The only con is the rooms get a little warm during the summer, however they do provide additional fans to help keep you cool.
