Great service. Nice property. Clean and my kids kept saying “this is fancy!!” It’s a classic corporate hotel with lots of amenities and designed professionally at scale. Nice lobby and TV with Netflix app. Beds were comfortable. Space in the corner for a pack n play. Cool courtyard with mini golf and big fire tables. Nice restaurant area wasn’t an afterthought. Even saw actual repairs happening in one room. Deep cleaning of AC filters in another room 👍 Only con was no free breakfast, which for some I expected . That and the bottom fitted sheets kept falling off the bed. Didn’t affect comfort just unprofessional.

Maria, the manager, was extremely conscientious and helpful. We had a minor problem, and she immediately assisted my family. We were very grateful for her support.

It's a wonderful place to stay. It's quiet and safe. Close to the UC and shopping. The pool and mini-golf were great for the kids.

Loved that there were nice comfortable seating areas to hang out. Our family also took advantage of riding the beach cruisers to the beach. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They also made it easy for my family to check in early. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel to others.

Visiting my granddaughter who is a student-athlete at UCSB. My daughter and her family were also staying at the Courtyard that weekend. Wonderful trip despite the long drive from Northern California.
