Outdated rooms, no microwave, low quality TV, VERY low water pressure for the shower. Paid for a poolside room that ended up being on the 2nd floor. I asked about it and they responded that it’s poolside you just have to take stairs down. I expected poolside to be a walkout from your balcony like the pictures show.

The room was exceptionally comfortable, unfortunately the night I stayed they had an outage with 'Pluto' TV which is their only source for cable news programming, but other than that everything was exceptional.

The towels were all stained and the door didn't close properly. You could just push it and it would open. Not very safe to leave belongings inside

Check in was easy and the people working at the desk were friendly. We were originally placed in a room that was not up to par but it was a mistake and they fixed it quickly. The room we ended up in was off the pool courtyard and it was very clean. The cleaning crew came in each day to freshen up and make the bed which we haven’t seen in a lot of hotels lately. Overall it was a great stay!

We were given room 134 first that had a toilet from 1981, was stained and dirty. The bathtub finish was peeling (and had no hot water) so they moved us to room 140 which at least had a clean toilet and hot water. I think the water heater had not been turned up (really?). It was barely luke warm. Both rooms had filthy walls, out of date, beat up furniture. Room 134 had black sheet metal, not kidding, as a bed skirt.

Beautiful rooms with own terrace. Beautifully landscaped. Room was spacious and bed comfy. I arrived way before check-in time with a fearsome migraine, and the receptionist went out of his way to get me into a room as early as possible. The only bad thing was I couldn't stay longer as I was only in Santa Barbara briefly. Highly recommend
