I love the Mar Monte
I love this hotel. It's so cute - seems so intimate but actually is sizeable. It's the perfect location near the beach and other sites of Santa Barbara. My only suggestion would be to make coffee available in the lobby earlier than 7 - we were there for a lacrosse tournament and when you have an 8 a.m. day, having coffee before leaving for the games would have been great. Other than that, everything about this hotel is wonderful and it's a great place to stay.

Resort fee issue
Our overall stay was great and I was excited to stay again until it was time to check out. The resort offers great amenities that are included as part of the fee. One of those is a nightly drink at the bar. When we went to check out, I was told that since we were charged a cheaper resort fee, the nightly drink was not covered. I said the would gladly pay the higher resort fee to get the drinks for free. I was told that was not possible. That is unacceptable in my opinion. If I paid a resort fee, I should get all the benefits listed or given the choice to pay a smaller resort fee. Not be told after the fact. I would not have gone to the bar if it was not included.

I like it was across from beach, I really was looking forward to staying here but didn’t have a good experience in the room. My family stayed one night and honestly I couldn’t wait to leave in the morning. We first walked in room we were hit with such a strong smell , it smelled like wet dog. It was disgusting, it didn’t smell clean at all, just wet dog. Then, my teenager noticed blood on the sheets. Yes blood, looked like maybe someone had a cut or something, but it was noticeable on the white sheets. So I called to the office and they had housekeeping come right away to change sheets out. I had asked for 2 extra set of towels, I was given 4 bath towels, which would have been fine only, the room only was stocked with 2 wash cloths for my family of 4! at this point I didn’t want to keep calling down to front desk so I let it go . When it was shower time my kids used the 2 wash cloths and me and my husband used hand towels to clean with in the shower. Again, we improvised and didn’t make a big deal. My husband was barefoot and discovered a soaked corner by the door of the room, made me think if maybe that wet dog smell came from there. Anyway, majority of people leaving the hotel seemed happy so maybe it was just an odd experience from our side , but I didn’t enjoy the beach or other amenities because i was so disappointed with the room situation I just wanted to continue our trip at different location and different hotel .
