Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"Great room and beautiful hotel! The staff was great; the only issue was loud guests on our floor with barking dogs(with that guest) late into the night. Once I called the front desk, they spoke with the inconsiderate guests, and it was quiet after midnight. I only wish it were a little more soundproof, but the stay was still amazing."

"Overall and good stay and clean premises. There is only one complaint and that would be a lingering smell in the room. We didnt care because we were out all day and only went in to sleep. It is close to the beach and main street so it made for a GREAT stay and super convenient. Parking was never a problem. Nice staff. Clean."
