Great stay while visiting UCSB
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and plenty of towels were provided. It’s right in the middle of lots of stores and restaurants so anything needed was within walking distance. The only thing I wish we had was a fan in the restroom. It was small and it got hot in there during showering. Other than that we had a great stay and I would stay again.

Good service, but would not return
Good: service, comfy bed, clean room Bad: room is very dated. WiFi did not work and Verizon would not work in the room, so our phones were in SOS mode in the room. This hotel has the thinnest walls of anywhere I’ve ever stayed. We could every conversation from our neighbors next door and above. No privacy at all. We could also hear every baby crying. Overall, would not stay again.

Good Vacation Stay
We stayed two nights in two different rooms as we didn’t originally plan to stay an extra night but we liked the first day enough to return to the hotel after a long day, we saw that the second room we got was in better condition than the first as the shower drained properly and this room felt cleaner and included a binder to let us know of all the amenities provided and local restaurants to visit which we appreciated as we were vacationing. Overall tho, we enjoyed our stay throughout our vacation and appreciated the included breakfast as it was one less thing to worry about and would gladly recommend to our friends to stay here if they ever come vacation in the area.
