Great place to spend a night, clean rooms, comfortable and spacious. Nice staff, breakfast was adequate with fairy good selections for "included" breakfast. The hotel is close to the freeway, so a bit noisy but not too bad. Try to get the room that faces away from the pool and the freeway if you are "noise sensitive"

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean. It contained a refrigerator, microwave and a coffee maker. The bed was comfortable. A continental breakfast was provided. We did not use the pool or fitness room or any other amenity. The hotel was full for some reason and there was work being done re-paving and re-striping half of the parking lot. Because of this were unable to find a parking space after we returned from getting something to eat. We talked to the desk guy, and he had another staff member go around and find us a spot to park. The staff deserves a big pat on the back for being so accommodating.

We stayed two nights, the first night we had a room facing the freeway, the noise was unbearable. The next day we requested a room facing the street instead and it was much better. The rooms were clean and spacey, the breakfast quality was above average and had good variety. We liked that the hot food was different the second morning. Overall a good choice that is close to Santa Barbara, will definitely come back.
