I really like this hotel. It's close to SBCC and UCSB where my son attends. I've stayed here 3 times in the last year. My one and only issue is you have to ask for house keeping. They don't automatically do it anymore. This place is getting a 3 this time because the person at the front desk didn't bother to ask me if I wanted it. I feel that's just a given and part of good customer service. And you have to ask the night before. Don't all in the morning they won't do it. Frankly the person on the phone was a bit glib about it. Now I know if I stay there again.

Despite the fact that the hotel was not busy, we were assigned a room just by a construction area so we were woken up by pounding noise. As a hotel manager why would you choose to put customers in such room unless you want them to leave early?

Dirty room, dirty breakfast area, especially by the book area in breakfast room. Construction going on early in morning and they allowed guests to party late at night after two calls asking for some piece and quiet. This was on a Monday and Tuesday night, not the weekend! Wouldn't upgrade me either, even though I would have paid! Bad experience!

We have stayed here before so we did not expect too much. However this time our room had a terrible smell and was dirty. There was black mold in the bathroom and outside by the sink area. The little fridge froze everything. The toilet was running and the shower kept dripping, it could not be turned off all the way. Since it was a busy weekend in Santa Barbara/Goleta area we paid $400 for 1 night. And to top it off the pool that was closed last time we stayed here for renovations, was 'Out of Order', and the employees had no idea why and could not figure it out. Very disappointing experience.
