Excellent service and pleasant staff. Amazing location.
Excellent service and pleasant staff. Amazing location. I recommend that the breakfast display have an actual warmer as the food was cold even though we were up early. I.e. there was no flame or warmer under the metal container. Loved having access to bikes and took an early morning ride up to the historic Francescin site.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful city.
Santa Barbara is a beautiful city. Over the years that we have traveled there, the city is easy to get around. The beaches and harbor area are beautiful and make for excellent walking. There is a lot of California history in Santa Barbara, especially with the Mission. Wonderful restaurants over the the entire city. Harry's is very popular as well as restaurants along the Cabrillo Blvd.

Santa Barbara is a great place to experience a wide variety of activities. Great restaurants, plenty to see and do, especially if you like beach and ocean activities. But. Be careful, the downtown and beach front areas have become overwhelmed by all variety of people, especially young ones riding various types of e-bikes and scooters traveling at excessive speeds to be safe. Appears to be accidents waiting to happen. Depending on time of year you will experience a lot of coastal fogAAnonymous - Scored 1010

The hotel location is a 10.
The hotel location is a 10. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we were able to upgrade to a nicer room. My only disappointment was the extra $50 per night in fees and the $33 per night parking charge when there was ample parking and we parked ourselves. This should definitely be included in the cost. We literally spent $80+per night extra than we expected.LYNNUnited States - Scored 8.08.0

We loved the old mission and spend a lot of time in the hotel. I didn‘t like the pier. Everywhere were cars and parking lots instead of nice sitting opportunities. there were a lot of homeless people, too.AnjaGermany
