Comfortable stay at this property. The hotel was different because it felt more like a b&b instead. Loved the bed. So comfortable. The room was very clean and nice. The room had a A/C unit that is remote controlled. I wasn't sure about swimming in the pool because I don't like pools with lots of chlorine. To my surprise, the... More

We just checked into the Hyatt with our dog and are already looking to leave. It's like they bought an apartment building across the street and throw everyone with dogs back there. The rooms are dark and foreboding. You have about 4' between your room and "view" onto the building next door. The bed feels like it is from 1970's... More

We spent the weekend in Santa Barbara escaping the heat of the Phoenix area. The Hyatt was a nice respite. The bed was comfortable and room quiet. The road separates the hotel from the ocean, but the traffic was light and we didn't hear a lot of road noise.

We booked a room using our Hyatt points during the holiday weekend. The location is about 2 miles from State Street and the pier, so it's a bit of a walk, but it's a beautiful walk!

Hotel shows it's age even though it has been remodeled. Rooms clean but nothing memorable. Bathrooms are small. Service was very good. Restaurant, Bistro 1111 was excellent with a good menu and great presentation. Wine menu was just average. The hotel is right on the beach and very close to State Street and the marina area.
