Cons: Our bathroom had terrible water pressure, which made me unhappy when I tried to rinse my hair in the shower. The breakfast was good, but my husband was disappointed that it wasn't a bigger selection, esp. that there were no waffles, or other hot items like some of the places we have stayed.

Cons: "continental breakfast" was not really a breakfast, nothing warm offered

Pros: Location, convenience, friendly staff, clean room.
Cons: Room was a little small but still a good bang for your buck.
7.5 Good
Pros: In spite of the fact that the room was very small, it was nicely and tastefully appointed. There was enough light for reading. The place was quiet and the staff in the office helpful. I liked that they had two suitcase cadies so we did not have to unpack our suitcases for one night stay.
Cons: We had a very old room, but well appointed. However, the toilet was small. It was OK for me as I am very short, but my husband felt that he would hip his knees on the wall if it were an inch longer from front to back. This is due to the fact the the fixtures are very old and fit in a very small place. It was tolerable for one night but I would not care to be in that room longer. Also, the mattress was quite soft, very high off the floor.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: nice location, nice staff
Cons: Kids kept running back and forth in front of our room, so we had to close our window and curtains, so couldn’t enjoy the weather or the view. Also, very limited continental breakfast. Almost better not to have one, or slightly improve it
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Great rate for the room, staff is friendly, over all very good.
Cons: The Jacuzzi and pool could stand to be updated. Still very acceptable.
5.4 Okay
Pros: We enjoyed the accessibility to restaurants within walking distance.
Cons: We did NOT enjoy the train speed by blowing its horn throughout the night (the earplugs can’t hide that), the towels had weird pinkish stains on them and the paper thin walls allowed you to hear everything your neighbors are saying/doing. All in all I feel like we paid more than we should have with what we got. We also found out on the last day that our room phone was broken and never worked properly.
7.5 Good
Pros: Location, staff and breakfast were excellent;
Cons: We had a person with leg problems so lack of elevator and the many steps was a negative. Also the room was small and the toilet had only a short distance from it's front to the wall of the room.

The location was in a cute quiet neighborhood with fantastic shops and restaurants walking distance from the hotel and just a quick drive to downtown Santa Barbara!
Cons: Since the breakfast was located in the restaurant next door, I was expecting a little more of a true "continental breakfast" with oatmeal and maybe a waffle maker, etc, but it was still much appreciated any type of free breakfast was offered! Other than that, I couldn't pick out one issue with this hotel.

The hotel provides a luxury breakfast, complimentary bottle of champagne in the room, cheese & wine in reception early evening and milk and cookies at bedtime. A beautiful hotel and we'd happily stay there again - even without an upgrade.

Pros: The room we booked was much smaller than the photos seemed to represent. My friend and I spend a lot of time in our room visiting so the size of the room is important. We were going to just stay one night and then move to another hotel we've stayed at before. We weren't upset because Rodrigo, the night manager, had done his best to accommodate us with a downstairs room but the room was just too small. When he realized we were so confined we planned to move he offered us a great upgrade to keep us there and it was much larger and better for us. Thanks, Rodrigo, and thank you for a lovely stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable as were the pillows and the snacks provided were good.

We were going to just stay one night and then move to another hotel we've stayed at before. We weren't upset because Rodrigo, the night manager, had done his best to accommodate us with a downstairs room but the room was just too small. When he realized we were so confined we planned to move he offered us a great upgrade to keep us there and it was much larger and better for us. Thanks, Rodrigo, and thank you for a lovely stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable as were the pillows and the snacks provided were good.
Cons: Check the square footage of your room, not just the photos. Also, lamps need to be upgraded to turn on at the base and have charging spots for phones. No phone ports in the rooms.

Pros: We loved Happy Hour with wine and cheese. Took advantage of the use of the bikes to take a 2 hour ride into town on the bike route by the beach. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet.
Cons: The rooms were clean but very dated decor. Hot tub could have been cleaner and hotter.

Pros: WE loved everything about this charming inn. Loved the tiled staircases, the clean modern lines of the room décor, cleanliness and comfort overall, The personable helpful staff, the attractive , well-kept pool and lounging area area, the proximity to the beach, Stern's Wharf and major routes. In short, it was as close to perfect as you could get. We had a lovely two nights and would have stayed longer if we could. We would have no hesitation recommending it to friends, family and colleagues.

Cons: Offhand, can't think of a thing unless it would be a second luggage rack. Two people, each with a large suitcase really require a second luggage rack.
