We booked this Inn site-unseen for two nights for a group of us and it was more than just a reservation and place to stay. From the moment we called to the moment we had to leave - we were treated like the family you are happy to see at the holidays!!! And, as for that nervous feeling you get when you walk into to a hotel or inn and you are about to see your room... is it OK? is it good? is it clean? Forget it - everything is a delight.
First of all, Marti is lovely, professional, caring and warm. She handled our reservation, and was our hostess and our go-to-gal. She welcomed us like family and as quickly disappeared to give us space and privacy. She was instrumental in helping us with our dinner reservation on a Friday night on State St and equally adept at suggesting good hiking trails for a a Saturday afternoon. Some of our party rode bikes from LA - she wouldn't leave until she knew all her ducklings had arrived safely and she greeted them as warmly as if she had known them for years...like I said - the good family!
We stayed in the back building - our room was lovely and the two-person jacuzzi tub was really a two-person tub! We slept well and had everything we could have needed.
We were treated to sweets in the afternoon and savory later in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and just perfect. I thought the fresh fruit, granola, and yoghurt were plenty - and then Marie brought in eggs one day and pancakes another - it was quite unbeleiveable.
We've stayed at other B&Bs in the area and this is not the one with perfect and large grounds, nor is it the one with large rooms but the one we will return to from here on out because it was EVERYTHING a B&B should be. What truly set this place apart from the other lovely places in Sta Barbara was the hospitality and food. Nothing even comes close to the warmth and welcome you experience during your stay at the Bath Street Inn. It was all just right. We could say so much more.
Everyone in our party wants to kow when we are planning a return trip. Most certainly it will be with the Bath Street Inn.
