Great Stay, but Difficult to Talk to a Real Person

I was perfect. Staff and employees were exemplary. The reason I gave a low rating for service is that it was impossible to contact the front desk after I returned home to request a receipt. AI or phone tree hell. I gave up. I recommend always provide an easy way to speak to a real person.

Friendly staff, convenient location close to restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the coffee in the lobby and the gym access down the street while their main lobby is being redone. Great stay! Update rooms were nice.

It’s in the perfect spot on State Street. You can walk or ride the bikes they provide to food, drink and shopping. Cigars right down the street and the beach a bit past that, what more can you ask for?

Great rooms, great location

Rooms were awesome! 2 queens with stylish furnishings and comfortable linens. 2 conversation chairs were a nice touch. We stayed for one night. We were aware the lobby was under construction and were expecting worse to be honest but luckily the staff has it down and we couldn't have had a lovelier one-night stay. I would consider staying for longer next time. Location can't be beat for exploring downtown Santa Barbara and walking to the fun restaurants and shops.
