Cute hotel with an excellent weekend getaway location. The staff was friendly, food quality wasn't great but avocado toast and smoothies made up for it!q

"Beautiful terrace with stunning views of Santa Barbara. The innovative menu has many Asian touches. Loved the Japanese style breakfast with baked salmon, tofu salad, green salad and tamagoyaki."
Dress for the Date 
"Ideal for light dining and afternoon tea with friends. The Smoked Salmon with traditional garnishes and toasted white bread is a must try!"

"It's small, which is fine if the resort isn't full. If it is, get there very early to get a chair. Overlooks Santa Barbara- beautiful views."
