Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly and everything was newly remodeled which made enjoying the space easy. As someone who traveled to Santa Barbara frequently in the past, I would never rent a hotel because pricing for this is more than the gas from my previous home. However, the price to quality ratio for this property would definitely have me rebook if I needed to stay in the area again in the future. I’m glad Expedia was able to show me this place.

Check in was easy and staff were polite. The room, shower, and floors were clean. The bed was comfortable. Location was good. We had to cancel at the last minute our last night that we had booked due to having to leave town earlier than expected. The staff were very gracious to not charge us even at the last minute. This was an unexpected surprise and was greatly appreciated.

The bed was too small. It said queen but it looked like a full size bed. The room had an odor which was also in the bed. Luckily I brought my own blankets and pillows. The room just felt unclean. The staff were very loud in the morning. I will not be staying there again.
