The location was perfect, just a block away from the beach. I loved being able to walk to the main pier and downtown area, as well as the Santa Barbara harbor. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel facilities were great, with spacious and private rooms, as well as a well-stocked kitchenette and a big refrigerator. Parking was easy and free, which was a major plus.
Nothing, all great.
The location was amazing, as it was within walking distance from the harbor and stunning Downtown. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful, providing great recommendations for restaurants and attractions in this city. The breakfast spread was also very nice, offering a variety of options like fresh fruit, juices, and delicious pastries.
Everything great.
The location was perfect, being very close to the city center and in a primary area of interest. We loved how easy it was to walk to the seafront, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a lovely fountain and garden that added to the overall charm. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, from the front desk staff who gave us great recommendations on where to go and eat, to the housekeepers who were always kind and accommodating. The breakfast provided was delicious, especially the excellent coffee, and we appreciated the availability of cookies in the lobby throughout the day. we found the cleanliness of the hotel to be exceptional, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
Nothing, it is perfect.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly staff and treated to freshly baked cookies. The room was clean and comfortable, with a king-sized bed that had plenty of pillows. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the beach and the wharf. the parking was convenient, and I felt safe in the tranquil neighborhood. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, easy access to the beach, and friendly staff made my stay enjoyable.
Nothing that I didn't like.
