Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel is ok. Actually the restaurant was very nice. But the place is so big and odd... Rotunda hallways have no wall hangings and seem worn out and abandoned. Some of the staff just acted ambivalent, like they didn't want to be working through the holidays.
The staff was great. However, all vending machines were broken on the property. I wish they would have given us more towels. The pool was great but closed early. Overall it was very good.
It is a beautiful property with many things to do. It is conveniently located with a nice pool and great view of the beach. The food is excellent and the environment is fun with thoughtful activities for all ages.

The hotel was is a great location across the street from the beach and walking distance to a restaurants. If you get a room in the back of the hotel you are very close to the train tracks and will hear trains. The pool was big with lots of seating. I think it’s a bit pricy for what you get, especially the resort and parking fees.
Room was clean last two days. AC ended up breaking had to sleep with the balcony door open, but I have to say the front desk and bar. Staff were very polite and helpful on informing me on how to have a great time in Santa Barbara thank you Ty bar manager
