Went to Santa Barbara for a girls get away weekend. We had Fantastic customer service, good location and price. Not walking distance to State street bars, restaurants and shopping but a short uber/lyft/car ride.

Property was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful, they changed our room at our request as we wanted to be on the first floor by the pool and they surely made that happen, the pool was our backyard, we were able to walk out directly from our patio to the pool and back. Right down the street from the beach areas, had a great stay out in Santa Barbara

great choice

Pros: We love the location on upper state, and the grounds are very pretty.
Cons: The pillows definitely need replaced but this seems to be a problem with most hotels.
Location: Restaurant on premises very good, and the hotel is right across the street from many nice shops.

Very happy!

Location: We had dinner at Los Agave's and dessert at McConnells. Would highly recommend both.
We were very happy with the quality of service when we checked it. The gentleman that helped us was very welcoming and polite. Although it is an older hotel, we were very pleased with the cleanliness. It does't have the must feel that lots of coastal hotel have. We got an awesome price through Travelocity and were very satisfied with the whole experience. Thank you.

"I can charge you again, if you want"

The night front desk wasn't that friendly. He asked for my id & credit card but didn't say a word why he was swiping my credit card. I thought he was going to charge me again for the room. I told him that I already paid for it. He gave me a sarcastic comment " oh I can charge you again, if you want." I know it was late, after 9 pm. He was probably ready to go home but we're tired too. And we're the customer. I was expecting more for the price. The door squeaks when you open and close it. The bathroom looked clean but had a little smell of urine. I'm glad I had my lysol. According to google, their free wi-fi is not secure - not encrypted. Across the street is a mall with a grocery store and places to eat.
