Overall, I had a great experience and would certainly stay there again.
Pros:

I really liked the hotel's location; it is excellent and close to everything. Breakfast exceeded my expectations, and the service was very good and efficient.

Cons:

The only downside was the $15 parking fee. Although it isn't a high amount, I don't think it's fair to charge for it, considering there is enough space for guests' cars.

Enjoyable stay, would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Very friendly staff in a good location for visiting Santa Barbara. Comfortable and quiet, would stay again.

Cons:

We didn't like that the breakfast was all served on disposable, non-recyclable plates with disposable plastic cutlery, it felt like a terrible waste.

The overall hotel is very run down and that is disappointing as it is part of a Hilton family hotel.
Pros:

Breakfast was good

Cons:

There was a leak in bathroom, the leak was from ceiling and spilled water on the floor. The leak has been there a while as there was mold on wall and room smelled. We were moved to another room…but that room had a stained couch. It appears that cleaning folks did not clean sofa as there were crumbs in between the cushions. I was supposed to get parking fee removed and that did not happen.

For the price, it was not worth the stay, I did check out early.
Pros:

The staff was nice and friendly.

Cons:

The room did not smell clean. Carpet was dirty. Bathroom was dated. Pool was small and not somewhere you could relax.
