“Nice and cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2012 via mobile

Its a nice hotel, but we thought it would be closer to Santa Barbara. If you are looking at going downtown and having a few drinks on the nice old town of S Barbara, you definitely need to take the car...

The rooms were nice and big in size. Very pleasant surroundings and quiet (unless you are given a room next to the US101 motorway).

Breakfast was NOT good. You had to do it yourself!! Pick up your own cutlery and plates, coffee, juice... There was no service around as they were busy cooking at the open kitchen. Basically you fill in a menu with your order (scarmbled eggs, bacon, etc....) and then they cook it for you - which they take quite some time to do... I thought it was not very good overall. Id rather have the traditional old buffet... I guess its a matter of taste!!

“Great hotel!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2012

VERY Quiet, clean rooms and comfortable beds (I'm extremely picky when it comes to clean and quality!!) Large suites with TWO large TVs in each room. Nicely decorated rooms (Just as you see in the pictures). Complimentary Coffee in room. complimentary bottled waters. Great made to order breakfast...WOW - fresh cooked Omelette, eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, waffles and more. and it's Served hot, fresh and fast along with complimentary options of Juices, bagels, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, coffees and more! It was impressive. Large Garden area with pool. This hotel is a few minutes to downtown Santa Barbara. Excellent Service/Staff. We are definitely going back!

“Beautiful hotel, great grounds, close to everything in SB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2012

This hotel is a joy to visit. The grounds are kept nicely, with a variety of plants typical of the area, arranged in a lovely landscape. The rooms are nice, the hotel easy to get to off of the freeway. Close enough to the freeway to see, but the rooms are quiet. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. The common room is nice and the breakfast top notch. Would stay again!

Room Tip: Choose a room with a king bed!

“Less Than 10 Minutes From Center of Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012

Hotel Quick Tips:
1. Hotel website: http://www.pacificasuites.com/
2. Free parking
3. Front desk/check in: quick and efficient
4. Well kept grounds with a small pool area
5. Spacious clean rooms; comfortable beds; TV in bedroom and sitting area; refrigerator; private balcony
6. Breakfast: made to order eggs, omelets, waffles, pancakes, hot cereal, breakfast meats, etc…also ‘cold’ bar with cereal, fruit, yogurt, juice. Gourmet coffee machine that allows for lattes and cappuccinos. This breakfast kept us going ALL morning, until lunch!
7. Workout: for $5 per visit, you can access a well appointed fitness center just several miles down Hollister
8. No elevator for the upper floor (would have been nice for getting luggage upstairs; otherwise insignificant)
9. Sooooooooooooo quiet in the evenings; heavily caters to the business crowd

Would return in a heartbeat!
