Correct
Pros:

Cet hotel sort un peu du cadre classique. Il faut aimer... Décoration originale, piscine agréable, emplacement parfait en bord de mer. Les plus, le parking, un petit happy hour près de la piscine.
Un petit déjeuner est servi. Il n'est pas fou mais suffisant pour bien démarrer sa journée.

Cons:

J'apprécie parfois de découvrir des hôtels originaux mais la on est un peu a la limite...en arrivant on decouvre qu'il n'y a pas de clim alors quon est en aout et 4 dans la chambre. Certains objets sont tops, d'autres tres glauques...ensemble un peu vieillissant chambre tres petite pour 4 avec des valises. C'est dommage vu le potentiel de cet hôtel qui mérite un rafraîchissement.

Prime location for a less prime accomodation.
Pros:

Great location close to the beach, the pier and the main parts of Santa Barbara. The rooms our located in different buildings which give a nice boutique hotel feeling. Our suite was spacious and had the basic equipment.

Cons:

Tiny bathroom in poor shape. Old kitchen gear. Rudimentary breakfast. Disengaged staff.
