On a super noisy street...

Don't pay extra for the "ocean view" room, hotel is on a heavily traveled street. Loud cars with booming bass radios on Saturday night, woke up at 6:30am Sunday by a car/motorcycle with no muffler. Every 20-30 minutes we'd hear a really loud vehicle. Couldn't leave the window open or enjoy the balcony.

This place is perfect! It’s walking distance to downtown and the Santa Barbara pier. The hotel staff was very friendly and the hotel had every single thing we could need. The wine and cheese happy hour and breakfast buffet was the cherry on top! We will definitely be back!

Property could be cleaner. Pool was not heated. Bathrooms are the biggest issue, need a big renovation. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were loud, could hear others screaming and jumping all night.

Excellent hotel

Very good hotel, especially for being in a beachfront area. Clean, quiet after the daytime traffic stopped. Excellent complementary breakfast. The only "glitch" was when the hotel's auto-dial system called all the rooms at 11PM to notify everyone that they had to follow all the parking rules--everybody had done so, but still got the call.
