The online photos made it seem that the surrounding area was resort-like; however, it was surrounded by concrete with at least half of the rooms (including ours) facing a parking lot and trash dumpsters. When we checked in we weren't given good instructions on how to find our room and then the keys didn't work. Also, we had an early check out (5:30 a.m.) and we were told that we would have to go to their sister hotel around the corner to check out that early. After I complained they said I could leave the keys in the room. The continental breakfast was very basic and the pastries/bagels were not fresh. The only good thing about the property was the kitchen in our room; it was very up-to-date and fully stocked with plates, utensils, etc.

Everything was fine at the hotel, when we arrived we were offered a bottle of wine, but it wasn't in the room, we had to asked for it. Breakfast was good, but exactly the same every day. I believe the price was to high for what you get.

The outdoor patio furniture outside our room was dirty -stains on the fabric that no one could sit on for fear of staining one's clothing. $700 a night for this? We got hosed!

Very nice California style hotel/motel
Very nice California style (cars parking outside room) hotel. I was greeted warmly & everything was explained fully. My Queen room with patio was very nice, clean, everything you could ask for. The breakfast that was provided was very nice with an "upgraded" continental style, eating on the patio was a +. The small pool was welcome after sightseeing. I would stay again for sure.

Floor need to be mopped
We like our room and was very comfortable. The only thing was the tile floors in our room didn't seem to have been mop. We had to wear our shoe or sock or our feet would be black.

They left very few bath towels in our room. The supplies like paper towels and toilet paper were not soft or comfortable to use - they left very few shampoo/ conditioner soaps. Seemed sparse for what we were paying . Otherwise it was a good stay. Friendly and good parking . A bit father of a walk then I expected to state street but still walkable .

Steve, here with my family, two children and had a lovely time. Took the Amtrak from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara and this was a very convenient location That was about a 10 minute walk to the Amtrak station, and State Street. Had lots of access to shops and food. Also a 10 minute walk to the beach there was two small convenience stores located within two minutes, which were very convenient. Breakfast was Better than I expected, had lots of options for the kids, including oatmeal, egg bites, cereal, lots of pastries, yogurts. Really enjoyed having that convenience. Provided me with a pack and play for my one year old, the rooms are very clean. Staff was attentive to fix issue we had with the room. Would definitely stay here again.
