The breakfast was cold and a bit pricey at $65. It included 2 cups and an egg, but the OJ didn't seem freshly squeezed. Also, I thought it was supposed to be included with my roommate’s order.
I would have eaten elsewhere for that price.
I emailed the hotel never heard back and disputed the charge with my credit card company.

GoodSolo stay
This stay did not meet expectations, especially given the price paid. The room was extremely cold, and despite my requests, the air conditioning continued running at full blast. In the middle of the night I was shivering so badly that I had to contact the front desk and request a room change the next day.

Great experience. From the warm, friendly and helpful welcome (in the parking lot, as we arrived), to the exquisite decor and surrounds. Frank, who greeted us, continued to be the perfect host and we will long remember the service from Dana over breakfast on the patio. Couldn't recommend this properly highly enough. Well done to all.

What an amazing, peaceful stay at Simpson House! The staff was wonderful, making us feel extra special for our anniversary. They gave us helpful recommendations and were just so nice and wonderful. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. It’s like your staying in the middle of magical garden. It’s also walking distance to State St shops and restaurants. 5 stars all the way!

Beautiful grounds that feel secluded while being right by downtown Santa Barbara. The cabins are unique, clean, and charming. The staff go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and welcome.

Service was excellent. When we arrived, we were greeted and shown around the property, assisted with the luggage and showed us to our room. For breakfast, we arrived a little early, but the waiter and kitchen staff accommodated us as we needed to head up the coast to the Monterey area. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast outside on the veranda. We would have loved to stay longer, but time did not allow.
