Romantic Hotels in Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail, California

"Overall it was ok. Room was average nothing special. Would have been nice to have a small coffee maker in the room. Or a vending machine or counter to grab a snack or soda."

"The room was intense with bleach, screen door bent so let the flies n bees in to air odor out. Toilet didnt flush, long story trying to get bell hop when left a few hours after check in. Asked for no Mayo at pool cafe, had Mayo loaded up on sandwich:(. "

"The bed was the most comfortable! I'd stay there again."

"The property was unique with two different hotels being under same ownership. The Ala Mar was obviously an aging beach hotel but maintained with some cute characteristics. Loved the upper patio looking out to the beach. Unfortunately we got a back corner room with one window with no view. Broken window shades. A coffee maker with no coffee. Chipped walls / paint. But cute older characteristics. Older furniture. Arched doorway. Tiled floor. Pool and jacuzzi were in working order. Coffee and light breakfast in the morning was adequate. A lot of unique pieces, art, and figurines / statues around the property which gave it a unique feel."

"Limited breakfast selections"

"The hotel is cute overall and the staff was nice. The location is close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Please be aware that the train runs right next to it, so you hear it until 10pm and starting at 6:50am each morning. The standard king room was small. The shower was small with a “European” shower, meaning, so no overhead shower head, it’s handheld, and the water goes all over the floor."

"We arrived on a Weds for 2 nights in a waterfront room w/balcony & the room wasn’t ready until 5pm! The room was strange & old-HUGE size w/almost no furniture- no dresser, desk, sofa, lounge chair or floor lamp & only 1 chair at a table & 1 nightstand. Tiny closet & poor shower head in the bathroom Not a good value-valet parking is $48 per night and there is free parking right on the street next to the lobby. Resort fee is $35 & all we used were the pool & jacuzzi for 2 hours. The location isn’t near any restaurants, shops, or coffee places except for the one in the hotel and there’s lots of construction nearby. Staff was very friendly, helpful & tried to respond to our issues by removing some of the fees. The pool was small but a perfect warm temperature. Excellent jacuzzi, plenty of lounge chairs, & cute bar area by pool. We live in the LA area & have visited SB dozens of times but I don’t think we’ll be returning to this hotel."

"We will most certainly be back! We loved it!"

"The courtyard restaurant is a relaxing spot to enjoy the excellent food. Try the breakfast burrito."
