Feedback from previous guests about their experience.
Vernon
United Kingdom,
January
2025
6.6/10
I was really excited to stay at this hotel due to its prime location, but I was ultimately disappointed by my experience. The rooms were not reflective of what I expected from the photos and the price I paid. The service was adequate, but I felt the value for money was lacking given the overall condition of the hotel. While there were some redeeming qualities, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a true getaway.
Rooms
5.0
The room I stayed in was uncomfortably small and did not resemble the pictures I'd seen online. It was dark and felt quite worn out.
Service
6.0
The front desk staff were polite, but they didn't offer us a room upgrade despite my anniversary celebration request.
Location
9.0
The hotel is situated right in the heart of Santa Barbara, making it easy to walk to various attractions.
Dining
5.0
Breakfast was a basic make-it-yourself setup that didn't live up to what I expected; it didn't feel inviting.
Facilities
5.0
The outdoor areas were nice, but the overall facilities felt somewhat neglected and didn't provide the level of comfort you'd hope for at this price.
