PROS -Fantastic location in the heart of downtown. Can walk to Stearns Wharf and State Street within minutes. -Very spacious rooms. Units have full kitchens and living areas even if not mentioned in the room listing. -Friendly and helpful staff (but see below) CONS -Property is overall not well kept up. Being in downtown, it is an old building, but the interior has not been renovated in a long time. The outdoor grounds also could use some rehab. -Cleanliness is an issue. There was a large, visible spider web in the corner of one of the rooms. -Continental breakfast was minimal (although it has a waffle machine). -While friendly, the staff is not very available. They may be very understaffed. Almost every time I needed front desk assistance, I had to wait for someone to come back. One of our 2 rooms wasn't ready on time, even though we checked in an hour after our stated arrival time. It was eventually not ready until about 9pm that night. -The price posted on Expedia was not the total cost. When checking in, they added additional fees that added about $50 extra for the 2 rooms I reserved. Not happy about that.

We had stayed at Villa Rosa before and loved the ambiance of the inn and were so excited to come back. We were given a room in an annex instead of the main building and it was horrible! There was no place to hang clothes or put suitcases, the shower was a jacuzzi tub with shower head in the middle of it (not acceptable for an elderly person), and there was a dirty diaper and adirty drink cup on the balcony. My husband went to the front desk and got us room in the main building and it was as cute and comfortable as it had been on our first visit to Villa Rosa. The moral of the story is to make sure you get a room in the mainbuilding.

This place was a lil outdated, but it also was cute. Parking would have been a lil challenging but we got luck and were able to get parking right in front of the building. The staff was very friendly. I can’t remember her name ( sorry) but she is the one that checked us in. She was super friendly and sweet. It was my first time in Santa Barbara so she was so nice to give me a pamphlet and suggested a couple of places with good life, music and good food.

Bang for the Buck

Nice hotel, convenient to the beach. Understaffed at check in, so there was a long line and it took about 1/2 hour. Room needs a hair dryer. Otherwise nice hotel. Would stay again.

The beach is across the street and State Street is a couple blocks away, so it is very convenient. However, the room we got was dirty. The bathtub was old and taped together. I did not want to step in it without my flip-flops. The window to get ventilation was broken, the handle was sticking out it was dirty. Under the bed, there was dust and old socks, and cobwebs around the room. The TV took forever to figure out how to work. The property had so many pretty flowers and the hot tub was nice. The staff was nice enough. But when I checked out they charged me more than Expedia quoted me. Apparently that happens a lot at that place. I would not stay there again.
