    The hotel was amazing! Staff was friendly and helpful. Both restaurants at the hotel made wonderful food. We had breakfast daily, lunch once, and dinner once. We loved everything they made. The hotel is close to everything you want see or fo in Santa Barbara. I highly recommend this hotel.

    Great location , restaurant on site

    They let pets stay at the hotel and so unfortunately our room had fleas. I noticed I had some bug bites on my ankle which I just assumed was from the beach, but when what I thought was a piece of dirt on the bed jump away, I realized I had flea bites. Caught one with a glob of lotion and took it to the front desk. They immediately offered to switch our rooms. Can't say that this is a cleanliness problem because they clean the rooms, but if pet owners aren't treating their animals for fleas and bringing them in, How are you going to know? It's just disappointing when you're paying a premium for a nice place only to get flea bites. Room location was also subject to a lot of foot traffic noise being next to a very loud exit door and the air conditioner in the room made a lot of strange sounds like you were in a fun factory. Doesn't make for restful sleep, so we cranked it down during the day to get it as cold as possible and then turned it off for the night. Other than that, the property is nice and everyone was very friendly.

    Awesome staff always was there and available to accommodate whatever needs we required. Love this hotel and love the location.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Horrid staff, unprofessional staff, no A/C, mold-infested, booked specific ocean view room but was bait and switched downgraded room

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Early check in turned into late check in. Took two hours to tell us the was a plumbing problem? Valet never appeared with luggage I had to go get it. What time does Room Service start? End? High expectations, mediocre performance. Better value at nearby Hotels.

    Great stay.

    The free bike rental was a highlight and a great way to see the waterfront. The valet parking staff were very helpful, though street parking around the hotel was a real challenge, especially on weekends. The pool is on the small side, but the hot tub was fine. Worth knowing about the location: you’re right on the beach, but it’s a 30–40 minute walk to the wharf and the main restaurant and activity area downtown — the bikes helped a lot here. Our main complaint was the AC unit in the room, which was loud. Even after shutting it off at night, it kept making a gurgling noise.

    Bathroom was clogged and not cleaned as per Hyatt standard

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Enjoyed our stay, but felt it was way overpriced.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The hotel was more dated than recent reviews noted. Pool was overcrowded with no available chairs and the beach chairs were all reserved by morning. Location was waterview but had to cross the road to get to access point. Breakfast was good and servers were friendly. I would not stay again.
