Cabrillo Inn at the Beach    

* ligging is uitstekend * bedden zijn uitstekend * kamer voldoende groot voor vier volwassenen

* ontbijtruimte absoluut niet gezellig. * ontbijt niet van niveau * badkamer verouderd en aan opfris toe

Locatie

Slechte ligging kamer. Mensen liepen over pad bijna de kamer binnen.

Het ziet er op foto veel mooier, gezelliger uit dan het is, het is eerder een doorreismotel en kan wel vernieuwing gebruiken!

Heel leuk hotel wat het meest lijkt op een soort mini vakantie park. Goede kamers met een veranda met uitzicht op zee. Santa Barbara is een erg leuke stad.

- er wordt nog met dekens ipv met dekbedden gewerkt - ontbijt is zeer weinig gevarieerd; slechts cake produkten en geen vlees of kaas beleg (erg zakelijk met 1-malig gebruik van bord, kop en bestek), geen yoghurt of i.d. - geen enkele plaats om ergens even gewoon te zitten (geen lobby), behalve aan het zwembad of in eigen kamer - alleen 's morgens koffie, verdere dag niets - op warm water uit de kraan in de badkamer moet minstens 5 minuten gewacht worden

Great friendly welcome by receptionist. Couldn't do enough, was incredibly helpful. Room was lived in but clean and comfortable. Great location, not bothered that I had no view as I used room for sleeping in not looking outside!! Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Might have been nice to have some fruit...

Lady serving breakfast was a bit gruff, but other than that nothing really. Great place.

The location was great with easy access to wharf and a view of the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. Enjoyed pleasant group balcony area with ocean view.

Looking a bit closer at the offerings in the area after having been there, if I were to do it again, I would have chosen to stay 1 or two blocks in from the beach and paid probably 1/3 to 1/2 less than the price we paid. Rooms were clean, but worn and very outdated. Breakfast choices included chocolate cake and rice crispy treats.....really?? Some fruit, yogurt or whole grain bread would be better instead.

location, price,

breakfast needs upgrade

Location! Heated pool.

No a/c, breakfast limited, no microwave or blow dryer in room.

- Beautiful views of the beach - Away from busy downtown - Price friendly - Staff is friendly

- The rooms are dated - Parking can be a challenge at night - Need to drive to downtown - Needed to request that the pool door locks be latched because I had small children, and the pool area is a walkway to some rooms.

We did really like the location.

I thought the furnishings looked a little tired. The bedspread had a hole in it. The curtains were dirty and the carpet was not very clean.

This was a large room. Closet space was ample. The view was beautiful and I enjoyed the semi-private patio. The room was very clean and smelled fresh. Eric was very helpful when we thought we would be arriving after the office would be closed.

For the money, $200 a night, I thought the mattress was flimsy & the pillows cheap. The carpets showed visible damage & should be replaced.I booked this room well in advance of our stay & saw that rooms were being advertised well below what we paid during our stay. I mentioned this to the on-duty manager upon checking out & he stated he would bring it to the management's attention.

Great location.

The interiors were incredibly dated.

The booking was difficult and a mistake was made thru your system that had to be corrected

Love the view. Convience to beach, bike paths and walking.

Inconsiderate people.

Excellent location, good continental breakfast, wide and clean room, good wifi access.

lovely location

needs a tidy up. Poor breakfast.

Staff were terrific. Even though they lost my booking, they honored my reservation & rate, and made the trip especially memorable for my 12 year old son by putting us in a poolside room. Continental breakfast is very nice, and the lady who serves it (sorry, didn't get her name...) is friendly. Perfect 3 star hotel.

I guess the bedspreads were rather ugly, but I honestly can't remember the last time I was in a hotel room with attractive bedspreads. Can you? But seriously...we had a great time, no problems whatsoever.

Pool, patio, garden and front lawn areas. Location excellent. Ryan on front desk.

No 24 hour reception a discrace! Surly unpleasant woman in breakfast room. Motel type building of poor construction. Way overpriced for what's on offer.

Room were clean and the staff was polite and efficient.

The hotel was older and in need of an update. The room were on the small side and the walls were paper thin. The breakfast offered was a little on the stale side, but they offered to heat up the breads and other food.

The room smelled and did not seem clean. The bedding, the room decor, and the furniture were old and tired.

A pleasant surprise. We have been coming to Santa Barbara for at least thirty years, and I know we have either stayed at Cabrillo Inn, or at least driven by in the past. So I know it is not a brand new hotel/motel. Regardless, the Inn was extremely well maintained, and the room and amenities were spotless. The bed was comfortable, and the furnishings were functional. Unfortunately, we were only in town for an overnight stay, so the Inn served our purposes well. Next time we come, we will take advantage of the fact that the Inn is across the street from the strand, offering a great opportunity for a sunset stroll. We travel a lot, and we have stayed in numerous hotels and motels. Some old, some new. We've had good and bad experiences. The number one impression a place makes is the person at the front desk. The person I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Kudos to him. Overall, our short stay was pleasant and satisfying.

Not that I didn't like it... but it was different. The sliding glass entry doors into the unit was unlike any place I had ever been. At first I was concerned about "privacy", but I realized that it was not easy to look into the unit through the darkened doors, unless all the lights were on in the unit and the (thick) drapes were wide open. But if nothing else, the glass doors provided a great panoramic view.

best beach front value

no microwaves in room poor positioning of electric outlets mediocre internet connection

Perfect location! Helpful and friendly staff.

The rooms were a bit shabby. The exterior door had gaps around it and the frame. The bed was minimal.

Morning breakfast ladies were unfriendly
