The hotel offers a comfortable stay with big and clean rooms, though the lighting could be improved. The staff is helpful and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience, especially with breakfast. The location provides easy access to the beach and attractions but lacks security in public areas. Dining options are varied, though some offerings are standard. Overall, a convenient and cozy choice for a stay in Santa Barbara.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a little balcony, but the toilet area is small. The service was a mix of unfriendliness during check-in and welcoming interactions. The location is convenient for various attractions but may require driving at night for dining options. Dining options varied from exceptional to self-serve with plastic utensils. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, but there were disturbances from loud guests until late at night. The staff was helpful but unfortunately rushed us out early in the morning. The location is great, close to the beach, pier, and downtown, although security could be better. The dining was enjoyable, with a good selection at breakfast. Overall, a decent value for the location.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms, though small and with a weak AC until the early hours of the morning, surprisingly turned out to be very clean and neat, exceeding my expectations for the price. The staff, while helpful with great recommendations and directions, could be a bit noisy at times, yelling in Spanish and causing disturbances. The location is convenient near the beach but a bit off the town center. The dining options were minimal but satisfying, and the facilities were basic but decent.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and nice, but unfortunately, the noise from outside disturbed our sleep. The service was accommodating and helpful, but I faced an issue with printing my boarding pass. The location was excellent, close to the harbor and downtown, although security could be better. The dining was decent, but not exceptional compared to other places I've been to. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.
A pleasant surprise in rooms with good soundproofing from outside traffic, but completion seemed rushed. Service was superb at the seafood restaurant and breakfast area, with staff always hospitable and helpful. The location, though in need of more cleanliness touches outside, was excellent, close to the beach, pier, State Street, and the waterfront. Dining was satisfactory, offering prompt service, while the price matched the value.
