“The location within Santa Barbara's Funk Zone places you steps away from unique dining and wine experiences. I like that the hotel embraces an artful, eco-friendly approach, extending even to complimentary bicycles, though some rooms might feel a bit compact. The on-site Santo Mezcal restaurant adds a vibrant touch with its authentic Mexican flavors.”
