Nous pourrions y revenir.
Pros:

Piscine sympa, calme le soir, parking devant la chambre, ménage tous les jours et serviettes de piscine ou de plage disponibles à la réception.

Cons:

Lors du check in, la réception nous a tout d’abord attribué une chambre devant le restaurant, très fréquenté pour le breakfast et le dîner. Après notre demande, avons pu obtenir une chambre plus au calme. Les chambres sont vieillottes mais confortables.

thought I’d feel like I’m on vacation when I get a poolside room I live in the town, but I still go there. The bar food is amazing.

Pros:

A hospedagem foi muito boa. O quarto era confortável, limpo e organizado, e o hotel possui um ambiente agradável e tranquilo. Tivemos uma boa experiência durante a estadia.

Cons:

O principal ponto negativo é a localização. O hotel fica relativamente distante das principais áreas turísticas e de maior movimento de Santa Bárbara. Para ir à State Street, à região da praia, ao píer e a restaurantes, acabamos dependendo do carro praticamente o tempo todo. Para quem pretende conhecer a cidade caminhando, a localização não é tão conveniente.

Foi uma estadia confortável, com um quarto muito bom e ótimo atendimento, mas considero que o custo-benefício poderia se
Pros:

O quarto era muito confortável e espaçoso, com um banheiro limpo e bem cuidado. Os funcionários foram muito solícitos e atenciosos durante toda a estadia. O hotel também conta com boas instalações e, de modo geral, tivemos uma experiência bastante confortável.

Cons:

Achei o hotel caro pelo que oferece. Além disso, a localização é um pouco distante das principais atrações, o que pode ser um ponto negativo para quem pretende conhecer a cidade e ficar próximo aos pontos turísticos.
