Clean, loved having a balcony, free hot breakfast, always had cookies in lobby, pool was on small side but usually empty and jacuzzi was nice. Easy walk to a nearby 7-11 for drinks and snacks, easy walk to beach and pier, about 7 min drive to downtown SB for night life

Pretty clean overall. The sheets and bedding felt very cheap and the pillows were horrible. You can hear everyone through the walls and all the doors slamming. Overall a good location in Santa Barbara.

The rooms were large and clean, had lots of storage space for luggage. They also had a little fridge, and coffee maker which was nice. The breakfast in the morning was good, and they had options for non-dairy milk when asked, however wish they had more fruit options (only oranges). The staff were really helpful and friendly with everyone. The pool looked small, but well maintained and they had towels on all of the lounge chairs (we didn't have a chance to use it but wish we had!). Would stay here again.

I was impressed with how quiet it was in our room. All staff, from front desk to housekeeping went out of their way to say hello, smile, accommodate requests. Our only issue was the lack of communication regarding our 3rd day cleaning. After a visit to the desk and a f/u phone call-our room still did not get cleaned. Fresh towels were promptly delivered after our complaint.
