Charles HoffmeyerFebruary 22, 2017Absolutely beautiful facility on the waterfront. Amazing gourmet breakfast buffet. Walking distance to Wharf/Downtown. One warning: $17 room-service burger ends up costing $30 with taxes/svc fees!
Spencer SorrellApril 7, 2013Great staff & service. Warm welcome upon arrival by valet service & hotel porter. A bubbly & energetic gal checked us in & gave us a few restaurant suggestions since the concierge was out. Well done!
Kevin D.September 28, 2014One of the most beautiful places you could ever have or attend a wedding. Only advice is book an extra day. You won't want to leave once you're here... !
Amy FrostJune 22, 2013This is what you get with a $500 dollar a night room. Everything is damp in our room. Mold in every corner of the bathroom. If given a choice do not stay here!
Peter HeinzMay 21, 2017Beautiful resort. Amazing view from balconies and it's right next to the beach. Luxury.- Elle MiddletonJune 25, 2016Not worth the money or points. The rooms are dated and very underwhelming. I don't think I would stay here if I come back to Santa Barbara. The bathroom is definitely not up to expectation.
Santa BarbaraJanuary 15, 2013Bikes and in line skate rentals available on property (awesome because of beach location!)
Matthew StottsNovember 14, 2009Tired facility, but great beach front location; worth it if you have a large group and get a cut-rate room. Fun to see the falconers there with raptors they use to hunt seagulls.
- Rooms in main building over lobby surprisingly quiet. Try the spa facilities. Very professional and competent!
The exits in here are stupid. It can take like 20 minutes to get out if backed up.
Julian GonzalezJanuary 11, 2016Nothing is good here, except the view. The place is outdated and smells. Food is overpriced and consistently bland or worse. I regret spending a beautiful Santa Barbara weekend in this dump.
Kelly Richelieu BerezinNovember 23, 2010If you are unable to get into the Four Seasons, this is a good alternative. Be sure to get an Ocean View room.- Have a drink by the pool, super good and the service is gold medal worthy.
Nice views and common spaces, but the rooms need a renovation and the place is overpriced.
Ben ChunAugust 10, 2013Checking in at 4:30pm and the room is somehow "not ready". Off to a bad start.
Beware: you will need to pay a separate wifi fee for EACH one of your devices.
Be aware that everything in the parking lot and lobby is under recorded video surveillance
Chris TurnerJanuary 13, 2012Not a great place to be hungry. My room service pizza cost $32 last night. Read the fine print.
Daniel O'LearyJuly 16, 2010They charge an arm, a leg, and a liver for things like parking and internet
