Emma

United Kingdom, October 2024

8.2/10

This hotel is a lovely option for a relaxing stay with beautiful grounds and a spacious, well-equipped room. The outdoor pool area is attractive and a great place to unwind. While the dining options were limited, the complimentary bike rentals were a fantastic bonus for exploring the area. However, be prepared for a bit of a walk to downtown Santa Barbara.

Rooms

8.0

The room was spacious and nicely appointed with a comfortable living area and a large bathroom, although it could use some updates.

Service

9.0

The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, promptly moving us to a new room when we encountered an issue with our first one.

Location

10.0

Perfectly situated right across from the beach and a manageable distance from local attractions, it's easy to get around, whether walking or biking.

Dining

5.0

While the dining experience on-site left something to be desired, as we opted out due to high prices, there are plenty of nearby restaurant options.

Facilities

9.0

The pool area is beautiful, making it a lovely setting for relaxation, and the gardens are well-maintained.

5.8/10

My stay at the hotel started off beautifully with its well-maintained gardens and striking design, but unfortunately, the service brought my experience down. I encountered quite a few hidden fees that made my stay feel less enjoyable, and the interior of the rooms seemed a bit worn out. While the nearby breakfast spot, Jack's Bistro, was excellent, and the valet service was always friendly, I can't say I left feeling satisfied with the value for money.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms had a solid feel but were outdated and in need of maintenance, which was disappointing.

Service

5.0

Service was lacking in communication regarding additional fees, and I felt neglected when I brought up my concerns.

Location

8.0

The location was good, making it easy to reach the beach and explore local attractions.

Dining

7.0

Dining options on-site were just okay, but I did find a fantastic breakfast place nearby.
