Decent Hotel for the Money
The hotel is clean and conveniently located. Its downfall is the horrible window air conditioner/heaters!! They are so noisy and you cannot control the strength of output. It’s all or nothing.

Got there kinda late service gentleman thomas was excellent and did the best he could give us a hotel upstairs downstairs kept knocking on the roof. I try to be courteous and switch rooms twice. Both rooms were unacceptable carpet ripped up old pillows, old bed old. Lots of cobwebs like it hadn’t been cleaned so we had to go back to the first room, which was recently renovated. and downstairs neighbor kept knocking we weren’t even being loud just walking normal. I understand it’s not their fault. Just an old building with no insulation so just expect to be heard by all of your neighbors.

Bare floors and inadequate heat.
Really only 2 problems.
1.) they don’t have carpeting in their rooms.
I HATE bare floors!
2.) The only heat/A/C they have is via a small In-Wall Unit, and it isn’t up to the job of heating the room.
And no, they don’t give you enough blankets to make up for it.

Winning thirsty travelers with a coffee machine
Met expectation and more.
No breakfast, but loved their coffee machine in the lobby.
Lots of cappuccinos and hot chocolate.

Nice property and customer service was amazing.
Property is very clean and pretty. The only complaint we had was that if you’re on the first floor you will wake up due to noise from people moving around in the room above you. it’s super loud. other than that it was a great stay!

Check in was a breeze. Room exceeded my expectations. Upgraded, large, clean, bed was comfy.
Pool was closed Due to remodel but it was cold so not a big deal. Parking was being replaced the morning of checkout but there was plenty of parking on property with just a small walk.
Only a 8 minute drive to UCSB to visit our son.
I will definitely stay here again

Disappointed at how dated the room was! Wish we would have gotten a more updated room. Probably would not choose this location again.
