"Great location off of East Beach, yet a 5 minute ride to downtown, under 10 minutes to Montecito. Beautiful hotel, amazing public spaces, and Convivo is a great restaurant especially first thing in the morning, although lunch, happy hour and dinner ate excellent as well.
The staff are friendly, professional, and they went out of yheir way to ensure my stay was the best. (Thank you Ruth and Jacob). My room was perfect for my week stay, partial view of the beach, spacious with a balcony with a seating atea. The room was nicely furnished and the ensuite bath waz large with a double vanity and both soaking tub and walk-in shower. Toiletries provided were good quality and much appreciated as were the robe and slippers.
The pool area is medium size, and mostly emplty, good fitness center, and I appreciated thw business center. The front lobby is comfortable with a fireplace, and jn the evenings just off the libby is a patio with seating around a large gas fire pit - perfect for this time of year. ;B-Cycle rental bikes hsve 4 locations within walking distance, that was a big plus.
In all, I had a great visit and will definitely be back. "
