My husband and I regretted our stay at this property. Our room was tacky, the "antiques" looked like they had been purchased at Kmart, the bathroom was in desperate need of remodeling, the breakfasts were o.k., not gourmet as their website states, the wine and cheese during the happy hour were cheap, the hostess (Elaine?) wasn't ...
When I arrived with my friend for New Years Eve, no one was there. I was told if office was closed, the key to room would be in lock box and it was. We went up to the Santa Cruz room and it was what we expected. Very quaint, old-world charm. The decor was more than what I would normally prefer but it was perfect for a B&B. The bed was very ...

Rustic inn in a great location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/10/07
We stayed in the Belle Caruso suite in the Hitchcock house. The service was excellent and the breakfasts were great (omelettes, frence toast, yogurt and apples with granola, fresh juice)! We were warmly greeted and referred to a great restaurant by the innkeeper (Lucierno). He always answered our questions courteously. I highly recommend using ...

horrible bed and breakfast
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/18/06
This is one of the worst bed and breakfasts that I have ever stayed at. Our room was run down--cheap furniture, carpeting, bedding and upholstery. The noise from the nearby train running through the area in the middle of the night was unbelievably loud, waking us up each night. The hostess acted as though she'd rather not be running a b and ...

BIG Disappointment
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/25/06
I have stayed in a lot of B & Bs and this is the top of my list as my worst experience.
The breakfast was nothing to write home about. No wireless internet. Noisy neighbors. Tacky furniture. I may as well stayed at the Motel 6 which was right down the street.
NEVER AGAIN

Why Waste your $$$
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/05
Served the same breakfast two mornings in a row. Breakfast was too light, went away still hungry.
Plastic, Walmart style chairs on the patio. Now there is some class.
Located a mere stones throw from the Motel 6, why not stay there instead and save money?
I have stayed in a lot of B & B and this rates way down the list. NEVER AGAIN Way too much money for what you get.

Never go back.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/01/05
The only communication with the innkeeper was a note on our door asking for our credit card number so that they could charge us for 2 nights in advance.
Maid service never showed up on our second day.
The "King Size" bed was actually 2 twins spliced together.
The private deck was so dirty with cobwebs and landscape droppings that we could enjoy it.
Extremely overpriced

This is a great B&B in Santa Barbara. Not the closest to downtown, but makes up for it with its awesome breakfast!
