Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very underwhelmed.

We were thoroughly disappointed. For over $500 pernight, one would expect more. It was a very mediocre room with no amenities in a decent but nothing exciting location. I would not recommend this hotel and surprised it was a Hilton.

I had a comfortable stay at Hotel Virginia Santa Barbara, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The location was fantastic, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. The room was cozy, and I absolutely LOVED the bathroom—it was a standout feature! The only downside was that the front desk could have been more responsive. Overall, a great stay, and I’d consider returning.

I know the city had work to do in front of the hotel. But I don’t think they need to block the front of the hotel off. The car hops were no help. We had to walk down the street with our luggage because our ride could not pull up to the hotel. And it was very cold outside.

Came here for two nights in January with the wife and newborn. Great location (half block from State street), reasonably priced, friendly staff, and clean room. Also offer free day passes to a fitness center a few blocks away. Would stay here again!
