This was our second stay during the last few months. For this visit, the location was a lot more noisy. The room appeared to be a bit dated than before. Also, you need to invest in quieter cleaning carts. Your staff is way too loud during the early morning (...while cleaning the vacated rooms).

Check in was a breeze. Room exceeded my expectations. Upgraded, large, clean, bed was comfy. Pool was closed Due to remodel but it was cold so not a big deal. Parking was being replaced the morning of checkout but there was plenty of parking on property with just a small walk. Only a 8 minute drive to UCSB to visit our son. I will definitely stay here again

Safe and mostly clean
The hotel had its heyday in the 70/80s it seems and not all of the rooms have been updated. However, there are no bed bugs, the rooms are relatively clean (found 2 cm of dust piled up on bed skirts behind mattress but bedding was clean). Old or damaged furniture. Microwave, refrigerators, and AirCon worked great. Pool looked fabulous and many utilized it, however, when here for work and very long days, I was too tired to use. DoorDash delivered from multiple nearby locations. Felt safe here.

Our room was right in front of a cemetery, it was creepy. What happens at the front desk at our check out, was really very uncomfortable. My wife request a bathroom and host lady said "we don't have restroom in this area" my wife insisted saying please "I have an emergency", the host lady, which did not had a badge, got upset got a key and put the key hard on the counter and saying faster where the restroom was, my wife did not understand what she said and asked again, the lady out of control repeat the directions yelling in front of other customers at the area. Later after when my wife return and compliant about her attitude, she justified her offense by saying she was very busy. We checked out around 10:30am

The property was very clean, safe and in a very convenient location to restaurants and shopping. However, the day before our travel (paid in full in advance) the hotel notified us that the free breakfast & gym facilities were not available due to construction. The breakfast is a biggie to us as my husband needs to eat first thing in the morning. The gym facility is also important to us as my husband has some ongoing health issues and does go to the gym daily. We had asked through email & at the front desk if there would be any compensation due to these two amenities not being available and since we have booked through Expedia we would have to contact them. I haven’t done this yet as we just got home today. Other than that, I would certainly recommend this hotel because if everything else being a 5 star.

Remodeled room was nice including bathroom and sink with good shampoo conditioner, shower gel, lotion and hand cleaner. Nice Keurig coffee maker with good coffee, tea. Pleasant courtyard well maintained. Housekeeping staff friendly and helpful as was maintenance person. The frint desk ladies were also both friendly and helpful at check in and out. Many many choices for shopping and eating. Usually I'm lifetime Marriott Platinum and working on Hilton stays now so know when a hotel is well managed as this one is. FYI: I seldom leave reviews

Black mold in shower
I've had a terrible experience with black mold at an air bnb but didn't expect that from a hotel. The carpets were stained, and the room looked absolutely nothing like the pictures. I have a toddler and an infant but couldn't bathe them considering there was mold on the walls of the shower. My wife even wanted to leave mid stay but we couldn't find any other spots.
