“Great place, yummy breakfast and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2012

I have been meaning to write this for a while...we stayed in October 2011. Had a great stay, what a nice place. From the moment we checked in, we felt really comfortable. The front desk staff is amazing and helpful. All rooms are a "suite", separate bedroom with door and nice living room with flat screen and an attached balcony. The only thing I would say could use an update would be a bathroom remodel. We did like that the sink/vanity area was separate of the tub/toilet. We went to celebrate our 12th anniversary and arrived to a spotless room and a bottle of champagne. Not champagne drinkers, so returned the bottle for another guest and they asked if a bottle of wine would be better. They took us into their lounge area and got to pick from their wine selection. There was an evening wine reception which we weren't able to attend, an awesome breakfast each morning that kept us full until lunch. Breakfast to order included eggs cooked to your liking, bacon/sausage and hashbrowns. Location is very close to the airport, a bit of a drive to SBarbara. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from it all. We drove all the way up to Big Sur one day and then down to Malibu the next, such a great location. We did go to the restaurant they suggested that was on the beach, can't remember the name but it was excellent and we'd wished we'd gone there every night. Can't wait to go back with the kids.

Room Tip: Ask to face the pool, second floor, on ends, best rooms. Avoid the rooms that face the highway. We...

“Great hotel close to UCSB and uncrowded beaches”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2012

This is a great little hotel. Very comfortable and convenient. The breakfast is simple, but good; much better than most. With a little research, you can find some very beautiful beaches nearby that are fairly uncrowded and easy to get to. Close to the freeway, it is easy in and easy out if you want to see the more popular sights.

Room Tip: Depends on if you want to be close to the pool or not.

“Great place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

This was our sixth stay at this hotel and every time has been great. It's conveniently located near UCSB, the beach, and the city of Santa Barbara. The staff members have always been very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone for a family vacation, or a business trip.

Room Tip: Ask for upstairs and away from the 217 highway.

“Comfortable stay with excellent breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2012

We had a comfortable night at the Pacifica suites. We had flown overnight from Australia for 14 hours and were very tired when we arrived. The evening reception had some tasty cheeses, dips and crackers and we enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine. Our room was clean and beds very good but were only doubles, not queens. The sofa bed didn't look comfortable but OK for a 10 year old. Breakfast was excellent. You filled out an order and everything was cooked fresh. Delicious omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. there was also a buffet with pastries, yogurt and juice

“Great for work, the family loved it too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2012

Stayed for two nights for work and brought my family with me. The suite was very comfortable and roomy. Great beds and the made to order breakfast was great for all of us. We all had a great time playing in the pool as well. This is our place when we come to Santa Barbara.
