Location is beyond ideal if you are spending some time in Santa Barbara. Walk to beaches, the marina, shoreline, State Street, Funk Zone etc. Front desk extremely friendly and helpful. Surprisingly good daily breakfast with real eggs and tasty coffee. Do not plan to sleep in though. Carts start rumbling at 8am, and expect loud conversations among the staff. If you understand vulgar Spanish slang then cover your ears. Beds are very comfortable.

Well, when we reached in the night, we were expecting to see the ocean as the name says but did not. However, next morning we noticed in fact it is very close to the Ocean. In terms of the facility it is clean, decently maintained. Amenities are reasonable and serves the purpose. The best part we liked at this facility is the Breakfast. Even though it says continental breakfast, they had more than just bagels, toast and muffins. We had a full breakfast, that's the highlight. Overall its a good place.

The location is definitely the biggest advantage of this hotel, and the breakfast was quite good. The staff was friendly and the room was generally clean.

However, the rooms are very outdated and don’t justify the price. The bathroom sink wouldn’t drain properly, and the refrigerator didn’t work at all. There is also no laundry facility, which is inconvenient for longer stays.

Overall, it feels like you’re mostly paying for the location rather than the quality of the hotel itself.

Good breakfast. Walking distance to Amtrak station, directly across from the beach and pier, and wonderful restaurants.

Room had plumbing issues and asked several times to get someone to clear the problem. Room reserved for us was very small for two adults and child. Could not fit a rollaway bed.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. What truly impressed me was the unexpected amenities offered, such as complimentary coffee, popcorn, wine, and cheese. I had high expectations for a decent hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised that every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations.

Staff was non-existent. Had an issue with the room. Front desk took 30 minutes to respond. He was asleep. Finally maintenance arrived to fix an issue . They claimed it has “happened in the past” yet they haven’t resolved it? This place is trash for the amount you have to pay.

Finally, the manager Delfina is only available by “email”. Yet, the manger is incapable of fixing a reoccurring problem.

I booked this hotel for friends visiting from Scotland for the World Cup. They arrived after 10PM on Saturday June 21, 2026 to discover their room had been given to someone else.

The king suite I booked was changed to a queen bed and substantially smaller accommodations for three men over 6’4” tall. It was nearly midnight by the time their lodging was straightened out.

They ended up needing to book an additional room at a different hotel. The $200 refund the hotel offered me was not sufficient given the inconvenience and hassle for my international friends.

The building is under construction so it looks questionable outside. Inside is not bad. Not worth paying for a view seeing as though there is a harbor directly infront. The bed wasn’t too comfortable. My back started to hurt both nights. Even the pillows are not top tier. Not many amenities, the breakfast looks okay. I didn’t stop to try it. The interactions which were very few, the staff was nice. We had our do it disturb sign up for a nap and the Houskeeping was knocking and about to enter, which was odd. Didn’t see the point of the sign. Room was clean. It’s an alright hotel if you’re looking for something basic and do not intend on spending much time in the hotel itself.

Minor items: my room was quite a distance from the water heater, so it took 10 minutes to get hot water in the shower. Also the TV reception was intermittent, which must have something to do with the cable provider. Again, these are minor and did not effect my stay.

First, the good...the hotel is in a nice part of town. It is directly across from the marina and we enjoyed the walk along the shoreline and boardwalk. Breakfast was hot and hearty. There was a wide selection of items: yogurt, juices, fruit, eggs, chicken, cold cuts, cereal, bagels, etc. The hotel was undergoing remodeling, but it only took up a small part of the parking lot, and we still found a parking spot and it was free. The bed was bouncy, but comfy. The air conditioning was cool in the room. We appreciated the fridge in the room. The room was very spacious overall.

Now our disappointments...The lights shining in our room from outside at night. Our room was near the elevator and was noisy at night. Also, the main showerhead didn't seem to work, so we had to use the spray nozzle only, and that flooded a part of the bathroom near the shower because there was no lip in the tile to keep in the water. The nozzle pointed outward and it was really hard to wash hair and body with only one hand. It would be nice if the spray nozzle could be fixed in a spot to use it as the main showerhead. Instead, it was attached at an angle and had to be held to be used. I went downstairs to ask for extra towels to clean it up, and was told they'd be sent up. They never came, so we did our best to use our used towels to sop it up. I also realized after this fiasco that my travel kit next to the sink also got soaked as a result, including makeup brushes, etc. Also, no hairdryer in room.

Enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately during our stay (May 2026) construction was taking place during the day so that was a bit annoying, but hopefully that won't continue to be an issue moving forward. I would say I really enjoyed the ammenities and the room was great. My only recommendation would be an upgrade to the carpet in the room. It felt dingy. The shower was amazing. All in all I would recommend this stay to others due to its location and great service, but a few minor upgrades could be made to make the experience more pleasant for guests.

I will not be back for sure, but again it wasn’t the absolute worst.

We had a pleasant stay, but there are some things from a woman's point of view to be aware of if you decide to stay here. What little light they do have in the room is very dim. The vanity lights aren't good at all and the vanity itself is very small. So if you're on a girl's trip, just be aware that you should bring your own mirror with a light, you won't have much space to get ready and there aren't any other outlets next to the other mirror.

We stayed at this hotel for five nights. During our stay, we requested housekeeping on nights 2 and 4; however, on night 4 the service was missed and never completed. After a long day out, we returned late to find our room still dirty. We had to request at least clean towels, since a full cleaning was no longer available at that hour.

Overall, the rooms could use an update. The carpets, while not visibly dirty, are quite old and make the space feel worn. The rooms definitely need some TLC.

The breakfast included in the rate is exactly the same every single day. For longer stays, this becomes repetitive very quickly. It would be great if they could rotate the options at least every couple of days. The same goes for the wine, cheese, and grapes offered to guests—it’s a nice touch, but also identical each day.

On a positive note, the staff is friendly and respectful, and the location is great, with a beautiful ocean view just across the street.

Overall, the hotel has good potential, but there are several details that could significantly improve the guest experience.
