Terrible experience
Very disappointed in this hotel. The people above us partied all night until 2 pm. Called the front desk and they did nothing. They offer to move us but it was 1 in the morning and we were leaving at 7. Who changes room at 1 in the morning.

Always one of our favorite places to stay in SB. Old, historic...you even get real keys! Seems to have gotten some subtle upgrades since our last stay, making the rams more comfortable and welcoming. Wine reception is always a plus.
