Location AC unit was poor quality Window coverings did NOT cover window or light from coming in. 2” gap between shades where I could see the parking lot through☹️
-
TV did not work and AC made insanely loud clanking noise throughout night. It’s an easy spot to stay for a night for a bowl concert but VERY far from being worth $300 a night.
-
Room was okay. Kind of felt damp. Like, the rug was damp…weird. Bed and shower were decent.

Clean room and nice staff Could have been cheaper price

The location and ease of getting to the hotel were perfect for a one night trip to Santa Barbara for a concert at the bowl.

location and priding For an overnight stay, great

It was really quiet and had a fun, old inn feel. The location was perfect. The AC wasn’t great and the sink in the bathroom smelled a little.

Good location, easy to find, free parking. It's a bit pricey but then Santa Barbara is of course an expensive environment. The room and in fact the whole property is a bit dated. This showed in particular with the air-conditioning in the room which didn't work very well. A quick measure could be to allow to have the windows a bit more opened on the opposing ends of the apartment to allow some air circulation.

Overpriced for fiesta. Parking was full. Blinds offer no privacy. Hair on bathtub walls and a spot of what I presume was period blood on the wall. Avoid,

The "suite" was nicely decorated, clean. The A/C unit very loud, "in wall" style and controls didn't function well. Minimal features, (2) towels, basic amenities in the room. The "motel" building and "upper patio deck" all in shabby condition, minimal "outdoor parking" was definitely a "motel" property. The "front desk" is a tiny space that again reflects a very old "Motel". The price point for this "suite" was way overpriced for the property. Courtyard by Marriott was across the street, new updated facility, more of what I would have expected from the description and photo of the room at Presidio

Location. And felt safe. Our toilet needed to be plunged as soon as we arrived and after plunging, there was toilet water dripping across the floor. One bed lamp didn’t work. Broken luggage rack. Broken deck chair. Cheap and shoddy renovations. Mold in bathtub surround. No coffee! Weird vibe. Photos on website looked better. No bikes available as advertised.

Nothing You know what’s worse than getting a terrible hotel room? Not getting a room at all My booking.com reservation showed "confirmed”, with my credit card attached, but when I arrived at 9pm they claimed they couldn’t find it and said they were fully booked. I know that this simply couldn't have happened - if I didn't show up, they'd just charge amount through booking, I wasn't able to cancel at that time already. The staff member couldn’t care less - he kept repeating "I can't find you in our system" and just wanted to get rid of me as fast as possible. I was left stranded with my mother in an unfamiliar city at night because this hotel either deleted, lost, or gave away my reservation. Absolutely disgusting service
