"I stayed for one night and think I found my new fave for Santa Barbara area!
Convenient to the beach and the walking path, quiet room (off freeway), and nice staff. Good price for area.
When I checked in, I had booked through hotels.com and originally I was assigned a small queen room in an alcove with a tiny exterior window-- but the front desk staff was extremely accommodating and pivoted to a room with high ceilings and a wonderful pool view and lots of exterior light. Grateful for that -- I know what room to ask for next time (19). This made my trip so much more enjoyable!
I would absolutely return, and also appreciated the breakfast treat (coffee, yogurt, and a muffin). I can't wait to try the bikes and hot tub next time."
