Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Normandy Hotel

Normandy Hotel

8/10 Good
"Meu quarto estava do lado da rua e a janela era velha e não fechava bem fazendo com que eu ouvia todo barulho da rua. Os ônibus, os carros e povo conversando na rua. Foi o único problema com a minha estadia no hotel. Mas o hotel tem uma ótima localização perto de tudo eu voltaria no hotel mas antes iria olhar as janelas. O café da manhã estava bom só tinha muita variedade. A proteína era só os ovos mexidos. Pão carboidratos de mas q eh barato neh então até entendo. Enfim eu recomendo o hotel só uns problemas que podem ser resolvidos facilmente."
