Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was clean and up to date despite its age, offering good-sized rooms with basic facilities. The service was friendly during our late arrival and check-out, but some staff seemed more interested in watching TV than assisting guests. The location was great, within walking distance of downtown and a beautiful park, with convenient free parking and a pet-friendly policy. The dining experience was mixed, as the breakfast area was small and crowded, but the attendant worked tirelessly to keep it stocked when present. The facilities were adequate, though improvements could make a difference in the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious and modern, but there was a peculiar pet odor. The location was convenient for exploring Santa Barbara, but the noisy in-room unit was a downside.
The hotel is conveniently located on State Street in beautiful Santa Barbara, making it great for walking in town and exploring all the shops, restaurants, and art galleries. The service from the young and friendly staff, including Matthew and Millie, was welcoming and helpful. The dining options may not be extraordinary, but considering the current circumstances, they were satisfactory. The rooms, although facing construction, were spacious enough for my family, and the overall experience was pleasant.
