Pros +
- The overall property is very nice set on cliffs of North Santa Barbara ... it is a very nice setting
- Beautiful grounds, exceptional customer service, high cleanliness standards. This is one of my favorite California coat properties.
- How close it was to the beach
Cons -
- Our keys never worked for our room, we had stains on our bed sheets upon arrival, the restaurant served us caffeinated tea when we asked multiple times for decaf for health reasons (claiming it was decaf until I physically had them bring the packaging).
- Service not like the Ritz C of old... I called the front desk FIVE times with no answer at diff times of the day. decided to hold as kind of a joke ... finally picked up after 6 and a half minutes. This ruined our trip - many reviews say the same
- It was not clean at all. Room was not cleaned. Mini fridge was dirty.
