Pros +
- Not much. Maybe location because its near the water but its not close to restaurants.
- The location is perfect for touring around the Santa Barbara area.
- location and friendly staff
Cons -
- This is not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are old and tired. Reminds me of motels than a hotel. Staff is borderline friendly. I would not stay at this hotel again.
- We had a 4:00pm check in time, our room was not reading until 6:00pm. We were able to sit at the pool, but there were no towels and dirty dishes everywhere. There were piles of used towels. The hotel is completely understaffed.
- parking fee (very expensive)

The man working in the coffee stand was awesome. Gave local tips for beaches and things to do.
Ice machines did not work. Would not bring you ice. Urine order in building. No housekeeping service even though it was requested. Train blows horn as it passes right behind the resort. Resort/Parking fees are extortion rates.
