Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
For the pricepoint, and suites "facing" the ocean on the main floor - amenities were dated - esp the bathrooms in both our rooms. Also the rooms were pricer than usual cause we went on a long weekend for my aunts birthday. It is what it is, don't expect too much.

Beachside Inn
Room was simple, clean, comfortable. Overlooked the greenway. Front desk was excellent with check in, check out, and contacting me when I forgot something in the room after check out. Free parking and breakfast were nice perks.
