The condition of the hotel room was far from expected standards with the price point. Towels were dirty, the carpet was dirty, and the walls/ corner nooks were dirty and cracked, observably old/not maintained. Our room had a dingy humid climate, so we had to keep the patio open when we were in the hotel. The beds were nice and the personal patio were the highlights of the room. The exterior of the hotel is pretty and aesthetic to look at. Staff were cold to interact with, our family didn’t really mind but it was something to note. Beware there was tons of hidden costs, there is a parking fee, resort fee, breakfast is not included, and there is no complementary coffee/ water for breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities

We stayed one night at the beachfront Hilton in Santa Barbara and were very disappointed, especially considering the $980 rate. From check-in to check-out, the experience fell short. When we arrived, there was a long line and it took about 20–30 minutes just to check in. We had tried to check in online in advance, but the system wouldn’t grant us access due to an ID verification issue—even though we had already selected our room. Once we got to the room, we were hit with a strong sour dairy smell, and the carpet had visible stains. It felt dirty and uninviting. The staff seemed poorly trained and unprepared to assist with basic guest questions. We were given a voucher for a 2-hour bike rental around 5 PM, only to be told the rental area had already closed for the day—making the voucher useless. Overall, it was not worth the premium price. The property feels run-down, the service was disappointing, and we wouldn’t recommend staying here based on our experience.

The property itself is attractive and has potential, but for a four-star resort, it fell short in several areas. To start, the room we were given had wallpaper peeling from the walls and noticeable debris—grass and what looked like leaves—on the carpet near the sliding glass door. It gave the impression that the room hadn’t been properly cleaned or maintained before our arrival. The biggest issue, however, was with the internet. Upon checking in, we discovered that there was no connectivity in our room. Alberto, who appeared to be a manager, asked me to call tech support. After waiting on hold for nearly 30 minutes, I finally reached someone who walked me through standard troubleshooting steps—everything I had already tried on my own. The problem persisted, and after another long hold (20+ minutes), I gave up and messaged Alberto again. He said someone from IT would contact me. Eventually, I received a call, and they resolved the issue by simply rebooting the router. Once that was done, everything worked fine. Still, the experience felt more like dealing with a tech issue at home than enjoying a relaxing stay at a high-end resort. Additionally, for a property of this size and rating, it was disappointing that no complimentary breakfast was offered. Instead, we were charge
