As I entered the room I looked around and saw your note about how to react to carbon monoxide alarm. which seemed helpful. However, as I work as an expert witness in carbon monoxide poisoning cases, I looked for your CO detector and found a hole on the upper wall where I assume it had been at one time. There was nothing there. I have pictures to show the location. Per California Health and Safety Code 17926 there must be detectors in the properties. I am hoping that you can explain this to me. I know that they can be in the hallways, but that is not brought out in your CO information note in the room.

The front desk attendant did not give me my driver license back. I was not notified of this and didn’t realize it until a few weeks after. I had to go get a new license. I received the license from the hotel three months after our stay in the mail. It would have been nice to have been notified that they had it and sent to me much sooner.

We used to enjoy staying at this hotel but cleanliness has gone downhill. We found women’s underwear behind one of the chairs. We will not be staying here again.

you really want to experience the true Santa Barbara vibe, take a short detour and stay at this hotel. It has everything you need for a memorable and authentic visit.

Yes, the property is older, and soundproofing is not perfect. But honestly, that’s a small trade-off for the charm and atmosphere this place offers. The beautiful courtyard, delicious breakfast, and exceptionally friendly staff make the experience truly special.

This is one of those places that has character and soul. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and genuinely enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for more than just a place to sleep — this hotel is part of the Santa Barbara experience itself.

Picturesque hotel situated very near the beach, great local dining options and a short distance to nearby Santa Barbara. The hotel itself was gorgeous, the room was clean, the courtyard view was fabulous. The few negatives of note: first floor courtyard facing rooms have no enclosed patio, so anyone can walk up to your sliding door. The beds were not very comfortable, but that’s subjective. My biggest negative was that our shoes didn’t drain. I called the front desk and they sent someone over in a few minutes. He changed out the drain stopper and said it was fixed, but the next day it filled up again as I showered again. And yes, the drain was open. I did tell the front office staff again when we checked out, so hopefully they fix it properly for the next guests. Still a very beautiful hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

It's a fine hotel, have stayed here several times. Backside is towards 101 fwy so some noise (not bad). On and off ramps are literally alongside or around the corner from the property. Grounds are carefully landscaped; Spanish mission type architecture and lush atrium garden are inviting. Short drive to downtown and state beach. 15 minutes from Santa Barbara.
Restaurant food is well prepared and room service is available. Staff are accommodating, e.g. we seniors needed a room close to elevator and were given a room right next to it.

It’s conveniently located to Hwy, which brings the other side of the same coin — noisy. If you prefer quietness, or a light sleeper, please skip.

Stayed here one night and it was great. The room was clean and quiet. Our room was facing the peaceful courtyard. The balcony was spacious and perfect for morning coffee. The freeway noise wasn't bad at all from our room's location, and with the balcony door closed, you couldn't hear it at all. Didn't get to use the pool and hot tub, but they looked very nice and clean. The property itself is gorgeous with Spanish tiles and lots of lush plants. I would come back any time I'm in the area!

We stayed for graduation weekend at Cate. The staff was great. However, the hotel was understaffed. Here are problems:
1. The refrigerator in our room failed before we got to the room. It leaked water on the floor. They tried to vacuum the carpet but it was still wet. Nothing like walking across a wet carpet in bare feet. They could not give us another room as they were totally booked.
2. They could not keep coffee on the first floor in the morning. Lots of disgruntled guests waiting for coffee.
3. They closed the restaurant for breakfast. Again, understaffed.
4. Hotel appears to trade profit for upset guests due to understaffing. On my wet floor all they had to do is turn in insurance claim and they could remove water from floor. They lose a deductible.
5. They know of influx in guests and appear not to hire staff to accommodate. More staff more money and lost profit.

Very convenient location and surprisingly quiet [at least in our room], considering the proximity to the freeway and the abundance of young children present on the property. Our room was pleasant and our request for third floor room with beamed ceiling was accommodated. The sliding door on our balcony would not latch, but we felt safe enough with the chain lock engaged.

Our room was not ready at 3:00 PM check-in. We were told it would be about 30-40 minutes and we would receive a call when ready. An hour passed and I went to check on the room--I'd already been given our keys--and the room was ready and waiting for us, no housekeeping in sight, with no call having been made. That was disappointing.

Plentiful free parking.

The \"gym\" is serviceable, if you know what you're doing, though a bit smelly.

The pool is very small and was filled with boisterous children, with supervising adults blasting music. The jacuzzi was difficult to find and tiny. Neither the pool nor the jacuzzi were appealing due to the crowded and loud environments. Not a big deal, as I thought back on my own childhood family vacations. Let the kids enjoy. Just don't expect a peaceful respite in either facility.

As a place to sleep for a night for a \"staycation\", the hotel is perfectly fine. It's dated and could use a refreshing, but I could stay here again, for the right price.

I meant to write a review forever ago! This was an excellent place to stay! The price is right and the property is very nice.
Mario from the front desk was probably the best part of my stay. He was so personable and helpful. He was so attentive my car battery died and he helped me jump the car arrange alternative rides and even checked in on me to make sure I was safe .
The only minus was the tablecloths in the restaurant ,.. they were really really filthy … that should not reflect on Mario tho .

This used to be our go to hotel when visiting family in Carpinteria. Each stay though it seemed like the hotel was going downhill. The restaurant and bar are closed on Fridays and Saturdays. The nice coffee machine in the lobby is gone and there is no coffee until after 7:00 because nobody “has the key”?? And then it is just a pump style which is empty most of the time. The carpets are dirty. Management does nothing about people partying in the courtyard at all hours of the night and early morning. We used the safe in the room but couldn’t open it after putting our money and valuables in it. There was nobody on-site to open it and over an hour after we called for help (and a trip to the front desk and another phone call) someone finally brought the key to open it. The battery was taped in with masking tape and had come loose! The young man was very nice and apologetic but we ended up being late for an engagement. Our next trip in 2 weeks will not be at this hotel. We have already booked at another hotel in Carpinteria.

I had the worst experience, I've ever had. It started with the clerk when i walked in, i did my part, i called 3 hrs ahead to confirm my status and informed him i would be in about 7pm, i pre registered, i answered all those questions including kids name ages, and puppies. Car info, all of it. When i got there, the clerk had me registered, pull out my license four different times, pull out my car info x4, on the fifth time like 30 min later still standing there at the desk, i ask again do you need anything else, can i put my stuff away( my license, my car info) ihe said yes, so i did, i said we have 2 rooms and 2 puppies. Then he pulls out 4 more papers for me to fill out, all the same info and he asked me for my license again and car info, i had 4 papers to review and fill out after we just did everything, so I'm mad now i been there like more than 35 40 min. He hads me two cards. I walk away not saying anything hit the exit door turn around and realize i have no idea where my rooms are located, he didn't explain anything or give me a map. I look at the rooms notice they are far apart, i have kids and puppies. I walk back to the desk i ask for a map, he says give him a min, hes finishing up another customer, then ignores me starts another customer! I ask again, these rooms are too far apart, Can you give rooms together? Abd starts another customer. So i walk away. My family locates our rooms, my key Doesn’t work, i need a new
one! I checked out 1 day early.Terribl

My room was clean but it had a certain smell not sure sort of like damp or something, not too serious but a better fresh smell is always nice. Room price was on point. Overall I would definitely come back.
