We had a wonderful stay at Pacific Crest hotel in Santa Barbara. Our room was clean and comfortable, and all staff members were professional, courteous and friendly. Parking was easy and off-street. This is a great location just a few short blocks from East Beach.

A very nice basic hotel. Pretty pool and a spotless facility. Rooms are small but totally workable. Super clean. The Internet isn’t the best but fine for a vacation trip. Neighborhood is very quiet and a short walk to the entertainment and restaurant district. Good for people who like a good buy and can forgive little things like spotty internet.

This property does not have anyone on site after 9 PM. Unfortunately, for us on the second night of our stay our air-conditioning started making a noise that was so loud we could no longer stay in the room. It was around 9:30 at night when it started and we waited until around 11 hoping that the noise would resolve. At that point, I called the hotel and just received an answering machine. We had to leave to find someplace else to sleep. When I contacted the hotel the next day, they basically said that we should have called the number that is posted in their office which is closed. That phone number is not listed when you call the hotel phone number nor were we aware that it was posted in the lobby which I knew was closed. We requested a refund for the second night and the front desk attendant agreed that the noise was still occurring and was not reasonable. After phone calls for about a week and a half the best they could offer was pay for one night and the second night free the next time. Since the room was uninhabitable for sleep, and the phone number for the hotel did not redirect to an emergency line. I believe we should have been reimbursed for the second night. I would recommend staying in a hotel that has staff overnight in case you have any issues. The types of air-conditioning these rooms have are the kind that are retrofitted and I guess they probably have issues quite a bit. The noise was so loud you could hear it outside the room three doors down.

Nice hotel with walkable distance to dining options. The price for the hotel is higher than what we expected. We came in and slept 2 nights and it cost us $700. Yes its close yo the water but very costly.

absolutely terrible stay from beginning. the bed broke 5 minutes after getting in the room and instead of switching my room, they took the mattress, put it on the floor with the sheet and flipped the bed base and put the mattress with the same sheets that were just on the floor back on the bed. so many things went wrong and on top of that i had to text the manager back and forth for all these issues instead of enjoying my trip. dirty sheets broken things just awful.

Staff were super friendly and accommodating of any requests. The cleanliness was above standards and they service the room everyday if you choose. Great pool area and a block from the beach and a nice restaurant. I would have loved having a comfy chair in the room. They are planning on a breakfast room which will be great and providing a bike would be lovely for those of us who take the train. I’ll be back
