I was so excited to take my mom to the famous Montecito Inn. I had gotten a great price on Hotels.com, which was even better. The Inn is older, but you can tell they have taken the time to do some upgrades and keep the original flare of the Inn. Our first room we were placed in smelled old, the furniture was a bit beat up, but overall clean and quaint. Unfortunately, we were on the freeway side so I asked to be moved which they did quickly. We went across the hall and the room was the same, except in the bathroom, they had not changed it since the 70s. It was done in the ugliest orange/brown tile in the shower and on the floor. There was a child size school-like toilet which was right next to the door making it hard to close. But the best part...there was a giant full-size tiger hand painted on the wall in the shower. Soooooo weird. Overall, the stay was fine, great location, but definitely old.
