Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail hotel rooms a the Independent

"The location is great. The parking is $10 per day & underground. The breakfast is ok. The staff is nice. However, the showers took 20 minutes to warm up. Also it smelled like sewage when we arrived. "

"There is something quaint and magical about the Villa Rosa Inn with an ineffable quality. If you love Rome, Italy, and if you love fountains, have an appreciation of Koi fish, with a passion for spotlessly clean swimming pool that looks like it was updated and rebuilt, and a hot tub spa that really works well, then you will love the Villa Rosa Inn. There is no such thing as perfection, and Villa Rosa is not perfect (the mattress was not comfortable in my room and neither were the pillows but the room was spotlessly CLEAN!!!); the whole complex lives and breathes character from another time and place. The fountains throughout are not to be believed. The lovely Spanish tiled "Casa" within and throughout is filled with history, art, and you can tell that every crevice, fountain, statue, painting, and potted plant has a story. I would insist on a room with a better mattress, but if I were to ask myself: Would I return Villa Rosa Inn to stay again? INDEED, I would!!! It was so peaceful and quiet, and it's just a block from the ocean, with some rooms facing the ocean. Parking is a challenge, which was unexpected, but it did NOT cost extra. It's not easy to get a parking spot. Yet, because of how quaint, quirky, and unique in quality Villa Rosa was, when I return to Santa Barbara, I will indeed make my way back to this Inn with pleasure. Respectfully, George"

"The hotel was clean, quiet, comfortable bed plenty of parking. Just a short drive to the pier. Staff was friendly let us check in earlier since our room Was ready. "

"The rooms were clean and I'd like to the fact that they had a lot of pillows. The only thing I would say that would be nice is a fan in the bathroom. You can open the window but there's a chance somebody could be looking in on you in the shower on the toilet. I enjoyed the continental breakfast. They had Otis spunkmeyer muffins and yoplait yogurt and other stuff but that's what I like and I ate. Also, the person doing the continental breakfast was on it. She kept replenishing and cleaning and doing a really good job. The air conditioning was great. I went to another hotel right after but in Anaheim. I was expecting better because it was a Homewood by Hilton. Severely disappointed."

"The location is central and great. The exterior is the historic part, which is beautiful, but marketing suggests the lobby/bar is a time capsule, which it is not. The double queen room was a great size. Water pressure in the shower was mid and the sink drained slowly. "

"Location was perfect and the rooms were exactly as described. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Beds are super comfy with perfect selection of pillows. "

"The rooms were very clean, plenty of parking is available. The ocean was very close. The staff were professional and courteous. Will be back again."

"Great location, really welcoming on arrival and accommodating with little requests. Room was really light, clean and comfortable. Pool was just what we needed after a long journey. Would definitely stay again. "

"The staff were helpful, friendly and happy. It made for a great experience. The hotel itself was well maintained and the room was fantastic."
