Good value in Santa Barbara
Pros:

Easy and plenty of parking. Not too far from good restaurants and the pier. Love the mattress - very comfortable.

The decor was a bit dated and the bathroom was due for updating. It's clean though.

we haven't been able to travel much due to family illness, so it was nice to get away with the family altogether. Ha
Pros:

The plants and European look and feel.

Cons:

The bed was a bit too soft for a bad back, but I loved the bedding and overall feeling of being there. Our granddaughter loved the beds, everything about the rooms and, most of all, the pool and Jacuzzi.

Great location, but no elevator for the upper floors
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

I didn’t like my upstairs unit because there was no elevator. Unit itself was very nice try it 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and a great kitchen.
I should have asked about a downstairs apartment unit. I took my 85 year old mom with knee problems and she had to climb the stairs - no elevator. She had some difficulty.
The staff is nice and the property is quite pretty otherwise.

I will not be coming back here.
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

The hotel was too pricey to be an outdated rooms. It was very un organised. They charge for self parking even when you’re staying there. And needs better direction to the self park. I saw a bear right in front of my car when I was getting out. The slots were too expensive and too tight. The changing machine took my $100. The cocktail people couldn’t be found, and once you order, they take too long to come back.

Gutes „Stadt Hotel-/Motel“
Pros:

Unkompliziert, gutes Hotel für die Durchreise und Erkundung von Santa Barbara. Mit dem Taxi nah am historischen Zetrum.

Cons:

Parkplatz Anzahl eher knapp, aber wir haben immer einen gefunden. Wenn halt auch nicht immer direkt vor dem Zimmer. Halb so wild ;-)
