Santa Barbara hotels

Casa Jardin was well presented, clean and a good location for us. The 4pm check in time was inconvenient - I hadn't realised there was no reception on the property (I should have checked more closely). We had arrived on the train late morning and had nowhere to put our luggage until check in. Perhaps a storage locker could be made available in the future for others in the same situation? We also found the place quite loud - the neighbourhood is quiet, but we could hear every doorstep from our neighbours upstairs. It's all hard flooring - perhaps some rugs would help dampen the noise, or a warning to upstairs guests to keep it down - they sounded like a herd of elephants when we were trying to sleep! We also found it slightly odd that a place for two only had one chair, so one person had to eat breakfast sitting on the bed. Overall, still a decent stay in Santa Barbara.
