One night, budget stay to attend the Santa Barbara International Film Festival
Pros:

Great location just across from the harbor. Restaurants and Wharf within walking distance. I took Amtrak and found the distance walkable with a backpack. They have a coffee/tea/water bar that is stocked and free 24 hours a day. They accommodated an early check in and their standard check out was noon. All the staff that I encountered were friendly. Bathroom was super clean and had plenty of toiletry supplies. In room coffee set up was well maintained including two free bottles of water. Room was well decorated for an older hotel.

Cons:

The bed wasn’t super comfortable. The room I was assigned was outside entry, not all rooms are. It was also by the pool, which wasn’t too bad considering it was too cold for people to be in the pool but if it is standard for them to offer this location because of booking discount the. It is something for others to consider when staying here.

I would not stay here again. Other than the location it was awful. Loud and noisy and the pool was .
Pros:

The location was perfect! I could walk to every thing. It was very noisy at night and could not sleep because of all the traffic.

Cons:

The pool was awful! It said online it was a heated and it was not. Even on an 80 degree day we couldn’t go in it. It felt like ice. I asjed the front desk guy and he said ya sorry the heater has been broken for months.
