We got 1 room with 2 beds and they gave us 1 bed that pull out from wall which was very bad an very low, spiders over the place in 30 minutes in that room I killed 2 spiders, floor was with cheap laminate feels like not a hotel room at all, thankfully they changed our room for better but still only with 1 bed in bring one roll over bed, it was better than nothing, but it wasn’t a good rest night as we planned on vacation of Easter weekend check with staff before you came in to this hotel, looks like its common issues with getting wrong rooms here after I checked the reviews from other people, not worth of money if you have to go through this

Perfect little family get-away

It was the perfect place for my daughter and I while we were in town to visit UCSB. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful bike path and close to an ocean front restaurant. Cute little park for kids and restrooms at the beach.

disappointed journey

The guest room which I stayed wasn't ready for commercial, because there was a construction in the doorway outside the room, until 9pm the noise of construction still there. The hotel commercial advertising says "hotel room facing to the sea" this is not true at the Palmoro House, there are facing to the train track and with a huge noise when the pass away in the evening. The main lobby and check in desk located on the main property of Mar Monte, not at the address that the hotel sent to the guest by "1111 E Cabrillo Blvd", it was so complicated and inconvenience.

Palmoro house is beautiful and dog friendly. 2 minute walk to the zoo and the Costa restaurant is fantastic. Its relatively easy to find street parking if you don't want to pay to park on property. Its a beautiful location to walk along the beach in the mornings. Very safe and peaceful.

Unfortunately the bath shower was broken and the vanity sink was clogged. We couldn’t take a shower. We were calling to front desk several times with no luck. We were asking for a compensation but they told us, they couldn’t adjust the rate because our reservation was made by Expedia. They waiver us $30 for the resort fees. Thank you Vanessa

Never again.

We were not expecting to stay in a separate area than the main hotel. I paid a lot of money only to be on a back alley street by a park where homeless people smashed bottles and threw up by my car. It wasn’t a very safe feeling. When we got to the room the fridge was cold and the toilet paper holder was broken. The shower didn’t have any pressure and tub didn’t drain. We paid for a king and got two twins, maybe they were queens but it was not what we reserved. I wouldn’t ever stay here again. What a waste of money for the worst accommodations. Do better.

Bad neighborhood Be Warned

The neighborhood is not good. We witnessed a man shaving n his car. We had to park at a paid parking lot because we did not trust the area Very litttlw cell phone reception in the area too. While we could use the amenities at the sister property, this one isn’t worth the price. Clean up the neighborhood
