The hotel was located in a great place but that’s the best part of this review. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 3pm (as directed) the hotel was under staff with only one person and a line ten groups deep. Rooms were not ready and not enough staff to service the line of guests. The reception area was cluttered with so much random stuff that there wasn’t much seating or standing area. There was an aquarium with dead fish and a lot eclectic furniture. The interior is dark and dingy with reflections of the haunted mansion. The staffing did their best to check everyone in, be we didn’t get our room till 6:30pm. The room was clean but not really comfortable. There so much that needs be updated just to bring the hotel into the 2000s. I couldn’t recommend this unless you are in a pinch. It was definitely a disappointment.
Tight hallways with too much furniture.
Weird,

We weren’t able to check in until 6:30. The room wasn’t available and the poor staff was unsupported. There was only one person available to check everyone in at 3pm when we were told to come. There was a line 10 people deep. The hotel has the most eclectic and weirdest interiors. There isn’t enough parking for guests, and rental bikes as listed in on site. Have low expectations and it’s a place to lay your head, then you’re fine. The location is great but I can’t say much more.

I should expect much better for Santa Barbara and beautiful location. Very small parking area on property. Restricted parking nearby. Noisy. No air conditioning made it feel stuffy. Water came out brown in shower, and plumbing was noisy. Outside brush was coming through window. Ice maker did not work. This property needs to be renovated to higher standards.

Convenient location.

Nice no frills hotel near beach and state street. Less than a block to the beach and very close to train station and state street. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Staff if very limited but it didn’t impact my stay. I would stay here again.

The hotel is wonderful. The cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a little problem checking in. She was 30 min late, but trying to be helpful. I left a cash deposit. I was to pick it up at checkout, but no one was able to find my deposit. I had to wait and come back at 1:30 to pick up my cash deposit. Overall a great stay. I would defiantly come back.
