Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, clean, comfortable, accommodating. We will definitely be back!"

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of driving. The property features scenic landscaping, and our room was clean. The included breakfast offered a nice variety, and the attendant was wonderfully enthusiastic, doing a fantastic job of orienting us to the options. However, we had two issues during our stay. First, room #147 is located near the outside gate and the building's glass entrance, meaning we heard guests coming and going at all hours as the metal and glass doors shut. Second, the toilet tank made an intermittent loud noise due to a leaky flapper repeatedly topping itself off. I had intended on reporting this issue at checkout but the front desk agent was on the phone as I dropped off the key. We’d definitely stay here again, but we would make sure we weren’t near the outside doors, the ice machine or elevators, since the walls seemed to be thin."

Clocktower Inn Ventura

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We really appreciated the noon checkout time which allowed us to ride our bikes and eat breakfast without feeling rushed. They also allowed us to store our bicycles inside a small conference room. The hotel is also walking distance to the beach and lots of great restaurants. We will definitely return."

The Pierpont Inn

6/10 Okay

"The property sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean and the freeway. It can get noisy especially during the day. It is an old inn, established in 1910. Don't expect a super modern hotel. There is no lobby, just a small registration office.The office and room smells like a combination of old, floral and musty. Found a spider and fly in the room. They have a coffee maker but no free water bottle. They charge $3.00 per 16 Oz. water bottle. Parking is not free. $10 per day fee..Breakfast is mediocre. I'd rather stay at 4 Points Sheraton for similar rates next time.."
