It's a older property and room and bathroom are very small.
housekeeping upon request - I requested, and they never came - then, after being told they would come, again, they did not come, at which point I was told that there would be a turndown serve. Again, I returned to an unkept room.
The Montecito Inn is in an excellent location. Staff were all really friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. The air conditioner didn’t work and the toilet didn’t flush well. But I would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful, comfortable, vintage California/Spanish style architecture, excellent fitness facility, nice self-serve juice/coffee/fruit/pastries in lobby each morning, overall a very nice experience.

Very quaint boutique hotel in great location. Slightly updated but definitely old school. Staff was great. We were on the street side so it was a little loud but overall nice
Very cool property and the staff was lovely, especially valet team! I would say almost perfect however it is noisy from the street traffic in the mornings.
