Great location. Only stayed here 1 night but staff was great.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The pool was lovely with lights at night and a firepit. We enjoyed using the bikes. And the breakfast was fast and delicious. Our room faced the back, but the view of the mountains was quite nice. Every staff member we encountered was helpful and friendly. We will be back!

Enjoyed the beach and ocean view! Incredible view with amazing atmosphere. We had our adult children and we all enjoyed the experience. Clean and friendly staff, specially,Kathleen went out of her way to make us feel right at home!
Ocean view room and relaxing. Quiet room with a comfortable bed. We had a great time with our adult kids walking to the beach. About 30 minutes walk to the pier and 40 minutes to farmers market on the state street. Great view of the beach from the lobby and the pool.

View was really nice, hotel lobby and the outdoor area/fire pits are great. Staff were polite and friendly. The rooms are very clean, but they are outdated and there is a certain musty smell you cannot shake off. Otherwise it is a great choice!
As soon as we stepped into our ocean view room it was perfect!!! The layout is great, very spacious and comfortable. The front desk staff was amazing Max did a great job detailing everything about the property and Kevin with valet service was very helpful. I definitely recommend having some drinks at Cafe Lido and grabbing breakfast at Costa Kitchen. I will definitely be back soon! Thanks for everything.
This is such an amazing property in Santa Barbara right across from the beach. The property itself is so easy to walk to and from as you are exploring. They have two restaurants onsite that are amazing! One is a bar with Mexican food and the other Mediterranean food the staff is all top notch from the cleaners, to the front desk, to the bartenders. The only minor thing I would say is that I wish they had umbrellas for the beach. We were there on especially warm days and fly light and no one wants to pack umbrellas. Make sure to get a room that has a balcony facing the ocean. The pink skies are beautiful!!
We thought the hotel had a great location-in the middle of everything. We enjoyed just sitting out on the balcony and looking at the beach. We were able to walk to a lot of things.
Room was nice it was a little small, but clean and quaint, we enjoyed the fire pit in the lobby patio and restaurant on site.

We would have had a wonderful stay, except that housekeeping was awful. The first day they did not do our room or leave clean towels. We asked for service and were given towels, but no wash cloths. The next day we had to ask for sevice. The 3rd day, they madevthe beds and nithing else. These little things make a big difference toward avrelaxing stay. The beds are comfortable. The location is excellent. Room service is fast and delicious.
There is no free parking without a good walk, so be ready to add $48 nightly to park.

Staff very courteous. The room furniture does not match the 4 star rating. Room was little noisy. Plenty of cold drinking water and coffee in the morning. The lemonade and cookies in the afternoon were excellent. Great parking system.
Love the view and access to beach. Patio was so comfortable delinking a glass of wine at sunset, and coffee in the morning. Room very roomy and comfortable. We will be back!! Staff very friendly and helpful!
The staff was nice, especially the valet, the location convenient, but it does not present like the photos online; in person it was about the same as much cheaper smaller hotels right near by.....
Location is amazing and we had lovely huge patio areas looking at the beach. We spent the evening in their courtyard with a fire pit and drank wine and chilled. Some ordered a few items from the restaurant and it was delicious. The coffee at the cafe was really good too!
