Verified Reviews of Hotel Santa Barbara

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Alex, William, Julian, Luis and Darl were extremely helpful to me."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The gentlemen above made sure that I felt safe and comfortable for my one night stay. My bag was taken to my room for me, I was given extra time to check out since my train was later in the afternoon and my bag was taken down for me to catch my Uber ride to the train station. The room itself was lovely and quiet. I will stay longer the next time I visit Santa Barbara.
