Old and dark

I was very disappointed in this hotel. The web site made the place look light and airy. We were placed in a part of the hotel that was old and dingy. The room was very ordinary and not well appointed. It just looked old. The exterior halls were also old and dark. The staircase rails were dusty and sticky! It does not deserve a 3 plus rating.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Plan on doing a lot of resting while in Santa Barbara. It is one of the most boring towns I have ever visited.

Nice for the money

It’s not a place to go to if you trying to save money, but I think it’s worth the money.

Traveler's tip on dining

Sometimes they offer free breakfast in their dinner as a promotion. That’s the best
