"Night time staff was surly, and kept his earbuds in during our entire check-in interaction. Buffett breakfast was meh. Room and bathroom were very clean. Double beds means double sized beds, not two queens!"

"It’s not as nice as it looks. We had a terrible ant problem in our room and the a/c didn’t work properly. The wine and cheese was ok, as was the breakfast, but nothing as good as it seems from the advertising."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Can't say enough good things about this hotel! Nice spacious rooms, clean, great pool area with plenty of loungers, and lots of other outdoor places to sit and enjoy a drink. The amount of amenities (breakfast, wine/cheese happy hour, bikes, elec charging and more) makes this a great value. They even have a self-serve very inexpensive laundry room at their sister property next door. Thanks for a great stay in Santa Barbara!"
