Free parking and home-made breakfast, generally quiet and intimate, nice design, friendly service

the room was very small, dark, without a wardrobe, located on the ground floor next to the service passage (no info as we would like to choose other and better) - no privacy because employees were walking around all the time during the day. although the hotel is generally very nice, the experience with the room made it very overpriced at this price, especially since we came for 3 nights to rest. No additional hotel amenities

The location is great, but it is a bit hard to find immediately from the hectic entrance on Montecito. Just be prepared for its immediate appearance! The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful and the room was so nice, clean and comfortable. There is a definite feeling of being in a treehouse. A big plus was the trail just a block away up to the SBCC Campus and gardens overlooking the harbor. Such an awesome little hike for me and my dog! Frankly, this was a big surprise and a treat to be able to get to the beach without driving or really negotiating any major streets beyond Montecito. Pershing Park is just right there as well- so plenty of space to exercise my dog.

Very cute hotel. Rooms were darling and completely redone. Love the addition of a tea pot to make tea/coffee in the morning.

They said that breakfast was included from 8-10 but when we went down at 9:00 to get it, it was completely unorganized. We stood there for a few minutes, but the person at the front desk did not acknowledge us. All that was out was tea/coffee, fruit, and danishes, but it looked like some guests had eaten eggs from the dishes left on tables. It didn’t appear like there was any wait staff. We ended up walking out, checking out before check out time, and going to purchase breakfast elsewhere. Also, parking was very tight for larger vehicles.

The staff were all very friendly and nice. I Liked having breakfast made for us each morning. My family stayed here as a get together for the holidays and the lobby was decorated beautifully for Christmas with a fireplace and Christmas music. It was perfect for us!

2 of my family members are vegan with limited options for breakfast. They had fruit, but an oatmeal or cereal option would have been good for the non egg eaters

We stayed for 3 nights in mid September 2023. The hotel was exactly as pictured when we booked. Light and airy and spotlessly clean. When we arrived we weren't sure about the location, as it's close to the 101 Freeway, but it turned out to be great as you can walk to most of the attractions in Santa Barbara. The staff were excellent. Really good communications about breakfast (which was excellent), housekeeping, night cover phone numbers and even a free glass of wine at happy hour. We stayed in room 9 and enjoyed the little balcony (big enough for 2) where we sat and watched the sun go down behind the mountains.

There's a little traffic noise during the day but it's quiet at night.

The breakfast was outstanding. We would love to have the recipe! We were very pleased to find an affordable place to stay at the last minute. We were caught in Santa Barbara during the heavy rains when the 101 was closed in both directions. The big hotel chains were jacking up their prices and taking advantage of the many people that where stuck with no way to return to their homes.

The room was very warm overnight. When we arrived it was raining like crazy and there was no one at the front desk. We ended up waiting in the car for 10 to 15 minutes.

Lovely clean, modern room. Freshly prepared breakfast, different option each day with cake baked by the previous day's receptionist. Great location, with parking.

Accessible room faced the road, which was noisy, but the room was large and very comfortable.

Small and quaint. Good location but felt secluded and quiet. Each room felt very private location wise and was very charming inside. The lady who checked me in was great as well and very nice!

I know you can't really do anything about it but the entrance/exit is a bit scary.

Breakfast was wonderful, the staff were super welcoming and warm. Afternoon fresh-baked cookies were delicious. Room was recently updated and really nice, beds were great, shower was fabulous.

Location is not totally amazing, but it's fairly close to the beach and State Street, so, still pretty good. And once you're in the Hideaway, it lives up to its name and you feel like you're in a peaceful getaway.

Alexandra, the inn keeper, made our stay the most enjoyable experience! She is one of the best I have ever met. Her service and hospitality were excellent. We will return to the Hideway as our Santa Barbara accommodation.
