It's a long list but here we go great stuff, for breakfast, hot clean hot tub open till 10:00 p.m., clean pool, grass to walk the dogs around in a little doggy area, one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever had, and close enough to the beach that it made it really worth it while costing less than half. After staying at this specific hotel for one night coming back from San Diego we're planning a small vacation to Santa Barbara four nights at this place that's how good it was

I couldn't sleep because of the noise of people walking in the hallway on the second floor and the fan noise of the heater in the room.

The staff were so helpful and accommodating.. we had a room in-between a large family who had multiple rooms. Two of their small children kept wandering onto our patio and kept coming into our room. It was very uncomfortable for us and we felt like we had to close our selves off into our room so the kids would stop coming in. I mentioned this to the front desk and without hesitation they put us in a different room! We were so appreciative of this so we could enjoy our short stay

No ocean view from the property - beautiful mountains behind the building and very pleasant surroundings, grassy area with tables and chairs pool & hot tub. The room had a nice balcony overlooking the grounds however no chairs are provided (we happened to have our folding beach chairs.) The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was missing a shower curtain which they brought up immediately. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Odd abstract artwork but not bad. The walls are thin luckily we had fairly quiet neighbors. We stayed upstairs and in the back building near the middle so traffic noise was not an issue.
