Quiet location, walk to conveniences, reasonable rate for santa barbara, free and ample parking, breakfast basic but ample, staff and housekeeping good
Easy check in, friendly staff. Good amenities, clean gym, pool and jacuzzi. Room slightly worn but clean, except for significant black mold underneath soap holder in shower. Easy walking distance to many restaurants.
Staff were friendly and attentive to our family. Very happy for our family with the two rooms and able to accommodate the family. Location was good for us.
