This is a great property with wonderful staff and two nice pools and hot tubs. The hot breakfast is one of the best ones we have had while traveling. Everyone is helpful and makes it an extra special stay. The area around the hotel is in the best part of Santa Barbara and has great shopping and restaurants just down the street. Love this place!

Good location

Our room appeared to be newly renovated, but not 100% (ie: not all lighting and doors were upgraded). The hotel staff are welcoming and nice. It’s in a great location on State St … the mall is across the street with a Starbucks. Target is within walking distance and it’s a short drive to the Promenade. There are several restaurants that could be walked to as well. It’s quiet and peaceful. The pool area is small and they only have a few chaise lounge chairs. Some people brought their own chairs and set them up in the grassy area by the pool/hot tub.

We have stayed a couple of times here before, however never again! The Hotel allowed a group of men to drink and get drunk in the parking lot! these men looked very shady they had no shirts on, had gang tattoos all over their body, they were loud until late in the evening. Beware people, especially if you plan to stay with your family. Honestly, we did not bring it to the attention of the hotel personnel because the men were intimidating. We were there for work, and in this hotel, there is a lot of men that are in town for construction work. bottom line is we will never go back, and we do not recommend this hotel.

A bed

We essentially just needed a safe place to sleep during our weekend trip and this was it. The room was not available when we checked in and we had to wait almot half an hour to be let in. Room was small but enough for what we needed. Pool was nice to dip our toes in at 11pm. Did not use any other amenities or have breakfast.
