Had room facing Haley. All noise came in even people talking outside. Beds very uncomfortable. Lighting in room was poor. The best parts of the stay were the personnel - friendly and efficient.

Very underwhelmed.

We were thoroughly disappointed. For over $500 pernight, one would expect more. It was a very mediocre room with no amenities in a decent but nothing exciting location. I would not recommend this hotel and surprised it was a Hilton.

I had a comfortable stay at Hotel Virginia Santa Barbara, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The location was fantastic, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. The room was cozy, and I absolutely LOVED the bathroom—it was a standout feature! The only downside was that the front desk could have been more responsive. Overall, a great stay, and I’d consider returning.
