Hotel has a great location specially if you stay at an ocean view room and property is located only 2 miles from downtown SB which is great! unfortunately hotel condition and overall customer service was not what I would have expected for the price! almost no engagement from any of the team members. very unlikely we will come back sadly!

Fantastic service from the staff all of them were very helpful, kind and went above and beyond. View of the ocean was fantastic. I wish the menu was a little more and they would use different buns for the sandwiches. Not everyone likes pretzel buns and prefers something lighter and softer. The portions were huge. The bar staff where so helpful and told us things about the community and things to see as well as the valet staff who kept making us smile and pointing us in the right direction. I have stayed at a lot of hotels and have never been treated so well by every single staff member until now. The outside area of the hotel was very clean and relaxing in. We enjoyed just sitting outside and talking with other guest and staff. We also were able to join in at the beach for a game of volleyball with the locals and watch the fishing boats. …

Not good room, old, small, smells like dust, not enough plugs to charge phones. The location and the staff service are the only positive. I wasn't happy to pay $1k for two night stay for this hotel. Very disappointed

Nice hotel, bit basic in the rooms, no where to put toiletries in the bathroom, rooms were spotless though, nice location opposite the beach and easy walk to shops and places to eat, nice stroll along the beach to the pier

Had heard about this hotel through the Coronado Times and decided to stay at this resort on our way to San Simeon. The reception was superb. Matthew Sazdanoff greeted us and thanked us for our loyalty. The front desk crew Camilla and Paisley were very helpful and made sure our stay would be a great experience...which it was. Dedo Dixon was also present during our stay and made sure our dining experience at Costa Kitchen as well as our stay was memorable! What impressed me the most was the great hospitality received from all.

Clean, excellent service, great location. Everything was really nice, the rooms are modern and clean and it was a short walk to the beach. We were checked in by Violeta who was very friendly and made our stay very nice. The pool was very clean and the cafe had nice coffee!

Great in many ways but host Jackie Furillo was exceptional. Set a wonderful cheerful tone . Thank you. The hotel is located conveniently to the beach, Santa Barbara and Montecito. Rooms were clean and mattress very comfortable. I highly recommend as a great place to stay.

I’ve never been to a hotel where I had to ask for an air freshener. Then for the hotel to not take any action when we complained made us feel unimportant. Not to mention there are multiple surprise fees at checkout for things we didn’t even use, like bicycles. Would not recommend.
