8/10 Very Good! (42 reviews)

It was very nice and secure! They had free bike rentals which is highly recommended when in Santa Barbara! They also have a great pool and jacuzzi! The hotel also had little games around the hotel which is fun for the kids like a big chess board, shuffle board, connect 4, etc. Would definitely go back.
