"Not many staff "

"The property hired a good photographer to take its pictures for the booking site, which made us believe the property was a luxury place. We stayed in a suite with 3 rooms and a kitchen. The property itself is old and basic. The rooms were old and nothing special at all. The beds were comfortable. A very small bathroom. Cleanliness was good. Breakfast was terrible. Very basic pastry and apples. We ended up eating elsewherez The staff was very nice and helpful. "

" We had a great stay! The continental breakfast was simple but did the job—there were croissants (including ham & cheese), muffins, granola bars, cereal, milk, juice, yogurt, and coffee, which was perfect to start the day. The rooms were clean, and the AC/heating worked really well, making everything comfortable. The property itself felt clean and aesthetically pleasing throughout. There’s both a parking garage and a front lot—it’s a bit tight for larger cars, but we never had trouble finding a spot. It’s a non-smoking property, which we appreciated. While there’s no pool, the location makes up for it. It’s close to the beach, and just a short drive to the wharf and State Street for dining, drinks, and activities. During our stay, we visited Mission Santa Barbara, which was only about a 10-minute drive. We also went to Stearns Wharf—super easy parking and only about 5 minutes from the inn. One of our favorite parts was renting e-bikes and riding all the way to Butterfly Beach. The ride through Channel Drive had stunning views—definitely a highlight of the trip! After our ride, we returned the bikes and ate at Santa Barbara Shellfish Company on the wharf. Highly recommend the bread bowl clam chowder, the cioppino, and the lobster roll—everything was delicious!! State Street also offered great nightlife and tons of dining options. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again! "

"We stayed over spring break and expected a luxury experience given the price and brand, but the stay was inconsistent. The room had multiple maintenance issues: discolored tile near the toilet, worn mirror trim, a toilet handle that did not flush properly, and a lamp that did not work. The seating area near the door was also cramped and poorly arranged. Housekeeping was unreliable. One day the room was not serviced until mid-afternoon, requiring us to wait. Another day it was not serviced at all, leaving us without toilet paper, towels, or toiletries until we followed up. Communication was also an issue. We called the hotel multiple times at different hours and received no answer, which meant walking to the lobby to resolve problems. Some amenities did not meet expectations. The bluffs path was closed but not disclosed. The kayaks were dated, and the beach had noticeable tar and debris. The on-site market had limited drinks and snacks. Costs added up quickly. Valet is mandatory at $75 per night with no self-parking, plus a $60/day resort fee regardless of use. The location is beautiful, and the valet staff were excellent, but overall the experience did not match the price."

"Staff was very helpful, room was clean and spacious. Parking was a little tight. Would definitely stay there again"

"The property was very clean, lovely updated room, and attentive staff. The pool was great. Easy access to the ocean path and a brief walk to local restaurants and shopping. My daughter loved the smores!"

"The rooms were clean and I'd like to the fact that they had a lot of pillows. The only thing I would say that would be nice is a fan in the bathroom. You can open the window but there's a chance somebody could be looking in on you in the shower on the toilet. I enjoyed the continental breakfast. They had Otis spunkmeyer muffins and yoplait yogurt and other stuff but that's what I like and I ate. Also, the person doing the continental breakfast was on it. She kept replenishing and cleaning and doing a really good job. The air conditioning was great. I went to another hotel right after but in Anaheim. I was expecting better because it was a Homewood by Hilton. Severely disappointed."

"Clean room, great staff service."

"Several things weren’t up to par considering the ‘glowing’ reviews we read before booking. Firstly, the staff were quite odd and unfriendly. Our bathroom had mould on the ceiling and the cleaners didn’t even fill up our conditioner or body wash so we couldn’t even shower. The walls are paper thin and we had cleaners shouting at each other outside our room before 8am so I don’t think staff care about guest experience at all. The ‘breakfast’ was the biggest joke of all - some lack lustre pastries, about five yogurts up for grabs and some waffle mix which ran out before we could even have some (we were down at breakfast by 8am so not sure why it had already run out and when we notified the person at the front desk, he looked annoyed that we had mentioned it). The somewhat of a saving grace is that it’s in a good location and it was nice that the rooms had been somewhat updated but I wouldn’t rush back nor would I necessarily recommend it to anyone I know.
