We found the accommodations were better than what we anticipated. It’s like a regular motel. It is an eclectic set up. If you have kids, the lobby and pool area have a lot of things out that are not kid friendly. The breakfast is limited and we didn’t see any protein. We chose to get something nearby. Communication is challenging. I don’t think they keep up on voicemail so keep calling. They do answer and were accommodating. In the room, everything was reasonably clean. The bleach smell from cleaning was too much. It did not dissipate during our stay and caused sore throats. The location is perfect for walking to the beach, pier, shopping or picking a place to eat out for any meal. We would go back to the same spot. It was awesome to have a 2-bedroom suite with a king bedroom for us and 2 queen beds for our adult kids. Our suite had a kitchen with a good sized refrigerator, stove/oven and microwave. A real plus was that they allow pets. Ultimately, we felt it was a safe property for all of us and our belongings.

Super disjointed staff. They gave our room away and then we had to wait over two hours to get checked in. Window in the room was broken, the bed frame had pieces sticking out of it. The bed itself was horribly uncomfortable. I asked the staff if there was anything they could do to compensate for the wait and they said no but they wish they could. Pretty bad experience especially since it was unbelievably expensive.

Location was nice and am front desk did their best to accommodate stay as they handled at least the 2 properties from 4, lacked proper staffing . The building was older , outdated and damaged furnishings , some rooms lacked coffee maker and hair dryers ,also saw dust bunnies under beds . Pool was in another building across street , not convenient. For the amount they charged not worth it , if it wasn’t for their late cancellation policy I would have stayed at a nice beach front resort for what they charged. Ridiculous. Initials T.R. Who self identified as manager was very unprofessional , raised her voice and was condescending prior to check in when I called to ask about late cancellation process and addressed my concerns .

We actually DIDN'T go but still got charged despite sending a cancelation email over a month in advance. Then there was no response to an inquiry about why this had happened. BBB is next. Management must be very unorganized....

I prepaid for this site, when we arrived, the desk attendent could care less we stood there waiting to be checked in, there was no one else there, then she tells us its an extra $30.00 a day above the $1,200.00 we already paid. So an extra $180.00 for a room with clogged shower and bathroom sink drains

Great place to stay when visiting Santa Barbara. Centrally located across the street from West beach and a quick walk to downtown. They have a great pool and jacuzzi to relax in after a long day of shopping and exploring Stearns Wharf. The room was huge with a kitchenette and the bed was very comfortable. Also, the happy hour and continental breakfast are a nice bonus.

Facilities were fine. Trying to get a hold of anybody was absolutely ridiculous. Had an issue with the room it took well over 15 minutes to get hold of the manager on the phone. Get a text if you need something, asked for more towels, never came
