"Hotel was very clean, and I have high standards! Staff was friendly and helpful. As another reviewer stated, this is not a luxury hotel, but it did provide very comfortable accommodations in a wonderful location near the beach in Santa Barbara. It even provided a covered parking spot for my car!"

Amazing
GGuest UserWas here for 2 nights with my partner, and first time staying at a bnb. Was pleasantly surprised by how clean and conveniently located it was. It’s a short walk from state street, where all the good restaurants and retail shops are.
The breakfast was delicious and cooked with soul. The cookies were also a lovely treat. Highly recommend for a homey and enjoyable experience!

LLelejiademitangguanVery satisfied stay. Although I opened the door with a key 🔑, I found that all the facilities were exquisite and fashionable when I entered the room, especially the bath towels and floor towels were very soft and I felt that the quality was very good. There is a kitchen, oven, microwave, tableware, but I used the coffee machine, and there is coffee powder in the kitchen to make my own coffee.
Walking to the beach and the train station is very close, no bicycles have been tried, but the hotel can provide.

LLIANGLIANGThe room was small and pitiful, and when I got up in the morning, the door of the bathroom was inexplicably saved. The surrounding environment was very good, but it felt very messy. There were South Americans with huge sounds flying everywhere. I won’t go again. .

AAnonymous UserI checked into this hotel on Friday, so the price was 2,300, which is twice as expensive as usual. It is considered a motel in general. The decoration is American-style and parking is free. Some people have rated the breakfast very well, but I think it is very average. It only has some bread and cold boiled eggs. There is a tofu and vegetable snack. There is no bacon, sausage, or vegetables. The fruit is cantaloupe, which is quite disappointing. If around 1,000 is acceptable, then the service is considered normal.

周周The room is small, the health is OK, in the town, just stayed on the 18th, the other did not say, the payment information provided by Ctrip has serious problems, I booked the room 3 or 4 months in advance, Ctrip App shows the user The famous currency is paid for, and it shows that I have prepaid, but I have to pay a second payment when I check in, and just brush the US dollar credit card, which brings two big problems: 1. I can't stay in normal mood. 2. I have already made a large amount of economic losses for the US dollar. This has also caused the price that was initially confirmed by Ctrip to be inconsistent with the price I actually paid. Why didn’t Ctrip have any hints at the beginning? I am waiting for a satisfactory result.

GGuest UserI called before arriving, asking about the bedding. I told them I was traveling with 91 yr. old mother and 67 yr. old sister. I am 71. They offer 1 queen and told me extra double would be very comfortable. It was a pull out couch. When you remove the cushions from sofa, there is a note pasted on the pull out that my sheet are in a bag in the closet. The pull out was metal springs. The bag has a top, bottom sheet and pillow with no case, 1 blanket. It took 5 layers of padding to make it sleepable.
All 3 of us left for the entire day and when we arrived to the room at 6:30 p.m. our used towels were still on the floor and trash cans were full. Fresh towels were delivered to our room from the common open area, not thru the hallway.
This stay was not what I expected of Marriott Residence Inn at $346.00 per night plus $15.00 per night for parking. Oh and there is a sign before you enter the hallways that tell you if your car is vandalized, Marriott is not responsible. Welcome to California in 2024.

・ホテルの共用部に電子レンジや飲み物などが設置されており、無料でパンも提供されています。パンはとても美味しかったです。
・無料でお酒が一杯飲めます。ホテルの方が作ってくれます。
・ホテルもとてもおしゃれです！隅々まで凝らしてあるので、ホテルの内部にも目を向けてみると楽しいです。
【いまいちな点】
・お風呂 トイレとお風呂が近すぎ、かつ狭いです。かなり使いにくいので、要注意です。

LLvtuzhongdetingliuRoom facilities are simple and like this style. There are great pools and bars in the public area. The hotel is located in the center of Barbara and is very convenient to walk to the main street. You need to drive to the beach and charge $30 a day for parking.

XXINHUI#地段# By the sea, the road is opposite the beach. We drove to the west to see the sunset! #前服务# Very enthusiastic, we have no language but brought a translator, they are very patient to explain to us. #早餐# Generally, it is not suitable for us, and the types are relatively small. It’s all bread. #小失望# They don't have a free parking lot. 💲 30 / night. But the little brother who helped stop the parking is not bad. Handsome and patient.
