I had a decent stay at this hotel, which was centrally located but had a few drawbacks. The room was quite large for what we needed, though it felt a bit dated and lacked charm. Breakfast was included, but it could have been better. While I did enjoy the outdoor pool area, the hotel’s location is a hike to the waterfront and the overall vibe just felt basic.

The room was fairly large but felt dated and overlooked another corridor, which was disappointing.

The location is along the main drag in Santa Barbara, but it's a long walk to the waterfront which was less convenient for my needs.

The hotel offered a spacious and clean environment for our three-night stay. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made our experience pleasant despite the ongoing construction. However, we were disappointed to find that the pool was closed for an extended period, and the barn-style bathroom doors lacked privacy. Overall, it's a good place if you don't mind the renovations and need a convenient spot in Santa Barbara.

We were excited to stay here, but it quickly became frustrating. The hotel was quite dated, which was a letdown, and the room size wasn't ideal for a family of six. While it was close to several attractions and restaurants, the lack of a working pool was a major disappointment, especially since we chose this place for the kids to swim. Given the price we paid, I expected much more comfort and amenities.

This hotel is wonderfully situated just blocks from downtown, making it easy to explore local restaurants and wine tasting spots. The rooms are cozy and the beds are quite comfortable. However, while the amenities like the pool and jacuzzi are nice, the proximity to the beach requires a bit of planning since it's not within walking distance. Overall, I'd recommend it for a short getaway, especially with the attentive service from people like Eric who really enhance the experience.
