6/10 Okay

"There was a cockroach in our bathroom."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"LOVE this hotel and cannot wait to come back and stay again. The whole place felt like a serene spa with the cleanliness and aromatics radiating throughout the property and each floor. The little details such as the hydration station to refill water bottles and the pump hand soap instead of bar soap made a big difference to me. The decor was immaculate and was basically my vision board brought to life. All of that combined with the perfect location in the middle of State St with walking distance to everything was a dream. We will definitely return!"
