    breakfast staff improvement

    It was just a fine choice for a short stay in Santa Barbara, offering good value for money. The breakfast staff needs improvement. we felt overlooked at our table. Be aware of the breakfast policies, especially if traveling as a couple.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the

    beaches and shops, making it easy to explore. I appreciated the spacious rooms and friendly staff, but the breakfast options felt somewhat limited for the price. Overall, a solid choice for a family vacation.

    great stay but missed a lively restaurant experience

    The room had exceptional cleanliness and spaciousness, providing a comfortable retreat. It featured useful amenities like a microwave and fridge, perfect for families. The hotel staff exemplified friendliness and professionalism during our three-night stay. Also enjoyed the inviting coffee space in the lobby, ideal for morning chats with family.

    The rooftop restaurant felt overcrowded during our visit, impacting our dining experience.

    The lovely geometric patterns and warm colors make the common areas feel inviting and cozy. It’s a beautiful space that’s easy to navigate, making it friendly for seniors like me.

    More seating in common areas would be helpful.

    awkward breakfast situation
    spotty service

    Oh, those cinnamon rolls at the rooftop bar were to die for, a true Santa Barbara gem! Plus, the spacious rooms with high ceilings made for a cozy stay—a perfect blend of comfort and style.

    We had a hiccup at breakfast with our room only allowing one guest’s meal and less-than-stellar service from a staffer who clearly had her favorites.

    The hotel is well-located with convenient access to shops and restaurants. Staff members were friendly and accommodating, which contributed positively to our stay. However, the rooftop restaurant was crowded during our visit, and the limited breakfast options felt overpriced. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short stay, but improvements in dining could enhance the experience.

    busy restaurant
    seating issue

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed the large room and well-finished bathroom. The location was perfect, with a mall and restaurants right across. Don't miss playing at Glen Annie and Sandpiper golf clubs nearby. The staff was pleasant and the property was spotless.

    The only downside was that the rooftop restaurant couldn't accommodate us because it was busy, and we declined sharing with another couple.
