Pros:

Location is convenient

Cons:

With the rate that I’m paying, a lot of surrounding hotels have breakfast included.
Also, I hope they do clean the jacuzzi and pool daily? Didn’t look so clean in the jacuzzi

Beautiful suite, wonderful property, and exceptional hospitality from Martha — I’ll definitely be back!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Mason Beach Inn. The suite was beautiful, spacious, extremely clean, and very comfortable. The property itself is charming, relaxing, and well maintained, and it really made for an enjoyable stay in Santa Barbara. I also want to give a very special shoutout to Martha. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and her hospitality genuinely made my stay even better. Employees like Martha are what turn a great hotel stay into a memorable one. Thank you, Martha!

Cons:

Honestly, I don’t have anything negative to say. I really enjoyed my stay and would happily stay here again.
