What guests say
about staying here.
★★★★★
“This is our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed both stays tremendously. Location, Location, Location! Very close to the center of State Street. We love the High Tech self managed hotel model. We will be back and look forward to trying more Zen Stay Properties.”
★★★★★
“Great rooms at great location. Definitely can recommend to stay at this place. Watch out when selecting the unit, not all of them have king-sized beds.”
★★★★★
“We loved the amenities in the kitchenette. The microwave can air fry! The little touches are nice, for example, the beach towels, the little beach, speaker, the toiletries in the bathroom, and the succulent plant on the patio. The location is great! Everything was within walking distance. The cops are constantly patrolling so if you are not able to find parking in the parking garage, the street parking is safe. We look forward to booking again!”
★★★★★
“Great location Midtown”
★★★★★
“Clean, comfortable hotel in a great location. The property was well maintained, the rooms were spotless, and everything felt fresh. The location made it easy to get around and explore the area. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.”
★★★★★
“Great accommodations and very nice location. Easy access and parking was perfect.”
★★★★★
“My wife and I loved this place. Zero hassle staying here everything was fantastic. We stayed in unit 29 which had a balcony off of Garden St. my only complaint was the shower water was warm…. I prefer hot hot water, oh and the waterfall shower head as my wife had done her hair and couldn’t get it wet yet so that was the only issue.”
★★★★★
“Everything was amazing. We had a great relaxing tome staying there. Only downside is the driveway to the parking structure. It’s definitely not meant for lower cars. We had to park outside and move the car every so often due to the street parking signs. Other than that it was great. ”
★★★★★
“Wonderful stay! Highly recommend it! Great customer service!”
★★★★★
“Great spot in the heart of Santa Barbara! Within walking distance to state street. I would definitely stay here again!!”
