Beautiful place.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

Clean room

It was a great room. The bed was a little soft for me, but overall a great place to stay.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

Didn’t know what to expect. Great stay. Rooms are a bit out of date but still spacious and comfortable. The convenience of the restaurant in the hotel made for a great dinner.

Easy check in and out. Friendly staff. Comfortable room and nice surroundings.
Dorinda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Most definitely better than the others

This stay was great, I loved the hotel overall. We had a view of the pool with a nice little patio set, super simple but great overall. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d most definitely choose this hotel again. Only downside was the water pressure in the shower but I’m sure that’s to save water. Overall 12/10

Would stay again!

I needed a place to stay for a night after taking a family member to their UCSB orientation, and this was one of the somewhat cheaper places. Wasn't looking for anything fancy. This place was perfect! I loved that there is a restaurant on site, so I didn't have to leave once I arrived. The room was quiet, spacious for just me and the staff, including the cleaning staff, were all wonderful people. I look forward to staying there again.

6/10 Good

The service was excellent. Overall it was nice. Very scenic. We had trouble with the tv, they had to replace a cable for it to work. The restaurant on site (The Crocodile)was good but when we ordered breakfast my sons toast had mold on it. They replaced the plate with a new one.

6/10 Good

Visit to Santa Barbara was good. Our hotel room as we first walked in was a musky smell. The paint on door in restroom was peeling. Room needed an updated paint job. Outside looked updated. We would give hotel a 2 1/2 stars.

Debra, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very disappointed

Centrally located, booked based on rating. However room extremely outdated. Bathroom moldy, little lighting, shower and and taps ancient and poor quality. Bed uncomfortable, floors with old carpet, mold and rust in the bathroom, overall feel of uncleanliness. Regret the stay. We stayed at other properties in Santa Barbara, but for price and even more because of condition of the room, we will never be back at this property. Ratings are extremely inaccurate. Parking is plenty but the hotel I definitely do not recommend.
