Great place to spend a night, clean rooms, comfortable and spacious. Nice staff, breakfast was adequate with fairy good selections for "included" breakfast. The hotel is close to the freeway, so a bit noisy but not too bad. Try to get the room that faces away from the pool and the freeway if you are "noise sensitive"

We stayed two nights, the first night we had a room facing the freeway, the noise was unbearable. The next day we requested a room facing the street instead and it was much better. The rooms were clean and spacey, the breakfast quality was above average and had good variety. We liked that the hot food was different the second morning. Overall a good choice that is close to Santa Barbara, will definitely come back.
