Karina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location. Very cute spot. Nice staff. However, it was very loud from people being in the hallway outside our room. It sounded like we had a heard of children in our room banging around all morning.
Abby, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The ocean view was spectacular!! The staff were nice and professional. Beautiful area.
Tenya, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was happy with our stay. I loved the hotel’s Spanish revival charm and its food/drink amenities. Our room and bed was very comfortable but the “ocean view” feature was actually more of a small window view of the pool and raising the blinds would have infringed on our privacy. Overall, however, I give the hotel a high rating. It’s lovely.
Sharon, 1-night trip

Marjorie, 2-night trip

Ramon, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I love the beach being across the street. I appreciate the checking-in staff, she was great. I also appreciate the wooden chips you get which give you $10 off drinks! I just wished the hotel would have had a bigger pool space to lay out. It was hard to get a chair, specially since the hotel is as big as it is or have a second pool. The other part was somewhat disappointed was dining options around the hotel since most of the were 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 mile away which are not walking distance.
Patricia, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Location excellent. Staff very polite. Quiet. Rooms outdated.
Manisha, 1-night trip

Julie, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our first time to Santa Barbara. We had the most amazing time! The hotel room was beautiful. The location was perfect. They had free bikes that we rode along the beach to the pier. The staff was friendly and courteous. The only tiny issue was the pillow cases were not soft at all but otherwise everything was fantastic
Karin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location not far from Funk Zone
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

The hotel was a great disappointment out of towels, other amenities and greatly understaffed.
Rick, 5-night trip
