Tolle Unterkunft für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt in Santa Barbara
Pros:

Die Lage war perfekt für unseren Aufenthalt in Santa Barbara.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Blickrichtung Garten, wo sich 2 Teiche und der Poolbereich befindet.
Das Zimmer war sehr modern und schön möbliert; der Hot Tub war toll zum Entspannen.
Auch das Frühstück war recht brauchbar.
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder, wenn wir wieder in Santa Barbara sind!

Wer mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, ist hier gut aufgehoben
Pros:

Der Bereich der Rezeption ist modern, sauber und hell eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind eher dunkel (aufgrund der Bepflanzung im Außenbereich). Wir hatten zwei Zimmer nicht zum Garten im Innern der Anlage, sondern zu den Parkplätzen hin gelegen die das gesamte Hotel umgeben. Die Zimmer waren durch eine Tür miteinander verbunden und waren mit schwarzem/anthrazitfabenem Teppichboden ausgelegt, woran man praktischerweise keinen Schmutz erkennen kann. Badelatschen sind zu empfehlen. Frühstück war angemessen, typisch amerikanisch, auf dem Weg dorthin begegnet man den Haustieren, einer Enten-/Gänseschar. Gegessen wird praktischerweise von Papptellern mit Plastikgeschirr. Am besten ist die Parkmöglichkeit direkt beim Hotel und der fußläufig (10min) zu erreichende In-n-Out Burger. Ansonsten ist die Lage in der Nähe zur Autobahn gut wenn man unterwegs ist.

Cons:

Hotelrechnung soll einem per e-mail zukommen. Zuhause angekommen mußte ich mehrfach nachfragen, weil es eben doch vergessen wurde.
