Room was great. Pool looked nice but a bit too cold so I didn't use it. Typical Continental Breakfast but did have good name brand products for yogurts, cereal, outmeal, muffins and good coffee.

We really wanted to LOVE this hotel. It offered an affordable family suite which was super important for us. The family suite itself was cute, and well appointed, but the layout was slightly strange. No worries, we’re not too fussy. The only reason I’m rating lower than five stars is because we did ask if we could possibly extend our stay one extra night, and we were told no, they had no vacancy for that last night we were requesting. But when I checked online the room (or one just like it) was still available. Too bad, as we would have given them more business. It was fine, but we’ll probably find somewhere else the next time we come to town.

Rooms were clean and minimal. For the high room rate they charge, the quality of shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries is pretty low. parking and staff is good.

The room is perfect for our needs in most ways, but the decor is atrocious. Still, it was fine. The biggest problem was no electrical outlets near the bed so my husband couldn’t use his cpap and our devices ran low on power. Other than that, it was fine for a one night stay.

This is usually our go-to hotel for a brief, overnight stay in Santa Barbara. The rooms are a nice size, have good beds, and are usually quiet at night. Often, construction workers stay at this hotel and they are up and out early and can be a little noisy. The breakfast is adequate, continental breakfast style.
