Brilliant stopover spot in Santa Barbara, easy to park, big room, good night’s sleep
Pros:

Room was a fantastic size, big, comfortable bed, a lot of parking, friendly staff and easy check in

Cons:

No point having blackout curtains if there’s a window in the bathroom with no curtain and no door between bathroom and room! Bathroom and shower also a little outdated (but still clean and usable)

Cons:

Die französischen Betten sind max. 120 cm breit und somit deutlich schmaler als Queensize. Das Fenster konnte wegen der nachträglich eingebauten Klimaanlage nicht mehr sicher geschlossen werden.

Very comfortable and a good value. Nice to be in a quiet residential area
Pros:

The whole stay was lovely. The restaurant was good and the pool was handy and well laid out. The only problem is that the walls and ceiling are thin and you can hear conversation and TV in the next room at normal conversational levels. Nothing the management can do about this, but the rest of the accommodations were very good. Not fancy, but good!

Cons:

Insulation from sound, but there is nothing that can be done aboutthat.
