The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We had to leave a day early because of a bad storm coming through the area, and they were able to refund our entire last night. The rooms were very cozy and clean. Breakfast was tasty and filling. The wine and cheese happy hour is such a nice touch. As well, the location is phenomenal. It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach, State Street, or the Funk zone. It was perfect!

Very nice stay, a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the mini fridge with champagne glass in the room was a very nice touch. Good breakfast but the breakfast area is too small. We left a jacket in the room and did not notice until we were home; called the hotel and they have it and is shipping it back to us. That was very kind.

Bubbly over the bubbly!
Wonderfully appointed room. Very cozy, stylishly homey decor and clean room. Loved the complimentary champagne, such a special touch after a lecture at UCSB. It never felt like a hotel but an extension of my home and the location was an easy base to almost anywhere in Santa Barbara. Looking forward to another stay at the Lavender Inn.
