Not what I expected

Connie Jul 3, 2009

On the plus side, the front desk staff was friendly. However, I booked (and paid for) a room with a King bed, but the ... manager said that Orbitz overbooked them and they could only give us a Queen. The room very small but adequate, as we didn't plan to really spend time in it but I was a bit shocked at the lack of basic amenities. Although they advertise a fully stocked kitchen we didn't have water glasses. We had to ask at the desk for shampoo. We won't be staying here again.

Stay anywhere but here!!

For $150 a night, this was a dump. This hotel was not what was advertised. No shampoo (unless you asked,) no room cleaning, ... no cups in the bathroom (just the ones in the kitchenette). Small rooms, small tv, only two pillows on the bed. We had hoped to trade up from the Super 8, but this was worse. Location is near freeway but not near anything else (like a Starbucks). At least the Super 8 has some food in the AM. Stay anywhere else!! We will. It is not worth staying here for the kitchenette.....for the price, other hotels have small frigs and microwaves.

Room had "funk" smell, even though ad stated renovation, can't say we saw any. Old, smelly, not very comfortable. ...

Great Service, Bad Accomidations

The weight staff were very nice, but the bathroom was horrible. The sink wouldn't drain, I couldn't take a bath because the ... tub had no plug and when I tried to take a shower, the hot water wouldn't work. It was luke warm at best.

My review of ESA Santa Barbara-Calle Real

This hotel is very low budget. No pool hot tub or even an ice machine. The bathtub and comforter were dirty. I stayed there ... because of the kitchenette which consisted of a refridgerator, 2 small burners and a microwave. It was right off the freeway and was a little bit noisy at night. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help when they weren't too busy with other travelers. The kitchenette was clean. There was some garbage i.e. left over piece of candy under the bed. In and Out burger across the street no other restraunt I noticed in walking distance.

Although maid service was optional and there was no jacuzzi or pool or restaurant our stay was very pleasant. We were close ... to bike paths and could easily ride to Santa Barbara or Isla Vista. There are many nice restaurants in the area with plenty to do and see.

Great for business and family

ESA Santa Barbara-Calle Real was very accommodating. Not only was the room large, but it was equipped with a full kitchen ... (stove, microwave, full size fridge, and coffee maker). The hotel itself was in a great location, just in between the winery's and downtown Santa Barbra. The staff were polite, and great with directions.
