Staff was friendly and everything was newly remodeled which made enjoying the space easy. As someone who traveled to Santa Barbara frequently in the past, I would never rent a hotel because pricing for this is more than the gas from my previous home. However, the price to quality ratio for this property would definitely have me rebook if I needed to stay in the area again in the future. I’m glad Expedia was able to show me this place.

Check in was easy and staff were polite. The room, shower, and floors were clean. The bed was comfortable. Location was good. We had to cancel at the last minute our last night that we had booked due to having to leave town earlier than expected. The staff were very gracious to not charge us even at the last minute. This was an unexpected surprise and was greatly appreciated.

Clean room and fresh linens. The only thing i don't like is the jetted bathtub is broken. They should fixed it before guest accommodation.

Clean room! Lady who check us in was helpful did a quick upgrade. Nice and quiet area. When I ask why the room didn't get service next day a guy told me I have to call and request it. Very awkward!I just ask for 2 more towels and left. You shouldn't ask for service, it should have been included!

Room smelled like cigarettes smoke. I asked to be accommodated by any way and they mentioned there nothing they could do. When I woke up the following morning everything on me smelled like the room. It was supposed to be a non smoking room.

Has potential, but in serious need of painting walls and repairing baseboard. It is soundproof and good location.

I got room 106. It reaked with cigarette smell and they tried to cover it with Lysol. The walls were scratched, baseboards missing through out the whole room. Linens were horrendous. I stayed here the week before and got room 212 and it was ok.
