The Steward, Santa Barbara, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very pleasant stay with friendly and helpful staff the stand out feature. Facilities were good, except the uncomfortable sofa bed ( although that was expected if I’m honest, just not something I’d want do again ) and the food we had at breakfast was outstanding as was the service. Only moan would be the entrance is almost impossible to see in the dark - poorly lit and no visible signage - so we sailed past it and had to go round the block - back on and of the freeway - when we arrived."
