My fiancé and I stayed here last week for a wedding and will definitely make this our go to hotel whenever we are in town. The booking was quick and easy and hassle free which was convenient after driving hours to get to Santa Barbara. We had a positive encounter with a gentleman by the name of Mr. Ramirez who welcomed us with complementary coffee, breakfast and gave us a rundown of the restaurant and amenities. The front desk attendant made checking in a breeze and was able to get us our room right away. I really feel that Mr. Ramirez and the entire staff at the Steward make this hotel feel comfortable. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thanks again to the entire staff for creating a positive experience on us. Kudos!
