We stayed one night at the Simpson House. Beautiful property and in the perfect Santa Barbara location just blocks off the promenade. The service was great. Loved the afternoon snacks. We stayed in the garden room and it was nice, although bathroom is outdated and bed was not very comfortable. My biggest complaint was the breakfast- coffee was bad and my scrambled eggs were really bad. Definitely expected better food for a 5 star place (and for the price we paid). Also a maintenance person was sweeping or doing something on our private patio very early in the morning. Didn’t love that.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Victorian house and cottages in a garden setting in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara. What makes it even more unique is that Hailey, the General Manager, and the entire staff are knowledgeable in all aspects of hospitality for people having weddings, special reunions or just an overnight stay. The welcome is top notch, as are the gourmet breakfasts and room service. We would love to return!
