I loved the mid century modern flair to the styling and eye for design of all the surfaces, furniture and accessories to update what used to be a fairly ordinary hotel. It was difficult to get enough chairs to accommodate the number of guest around the pool who wanted them.
They tried to check me into a room that was unmade and not ready for guests. Just a mistake but it was frustrating. They gave me a nicer room in response which was nice of them. The amenities of the room were so-so. I could turn on the TV but it wouldn't change channels. There was no way to make my own coffee in the room, and getting up for an early morning flight before coffee shops were open was frustrating without being able to make coffee for myself. If I were to return to Goleta, I would stay in the Best Western next door which I've stayed in before and found to be more to my liking.
This is not a kimpton, this is truly a motel. Very off putting. Surrounding area also awful. People staying were off putting - our neighbors when we arrived had their dirty towels on our door, a box of glass bottles and finished liquor on our side, they slammed the door repeatedly as they went drunkenly in and out of their room and smell of weed drifted out. Dogs off leash. This a motel. Do not pay for this and stay here. We left first thing in AM
Amazing place
Cute, funky vibe. Close to downtown Santa Barbara and UC Santa Barbara.
No table in my room. No counter by the sink. Not much room to hang clothes. Ambient music too loud— particularly in the dining room. No breakfast on weekday.. No complimentary coffee on Monday. Staff were positive and helpful.
The property was all decked out in a surfer/60's theme. I wasn't necessarily looking for anything like that, but they did a nice job of pulling it of, including a retro-looking turntable and a few 60's LPs in the room. The one thing I wasn't a fan of is the fully stocked fridge and snacks on the counter, all of which have a hefty price tag (very small water $4, 1L bottle $6, or a couple of candy bars @ $5 each)
bathroom sink smelled of sewer, I did report this and it was fixed. Shower head was broken (water just trickling out) on the last morning we were there. overall very nice place, probably needs a little more upgrading.
Quirky and fun place. Nicely idiosyncratic. Liked the normal Kimpton stuff like happy hour
The property was old, but I could tell they had fixed it up to look nicer. The pool was nice, but there was no jacuzzi. Also, there were no towels to dry off at the pool. The staff was not real attentive to the things I asked for. When I asked about getting a roll-away bed, they never got back to me on my request. I had to contact the office to get my question answered. When I asked for an extra pillow, they again did not get back to me, I had to contact the office again to get my extra pillow. In the bathroom there were no individual bottles of shampoo and conditioner. There were large bottles that everyone had to "share". Also, I did not like the hard wood floors. i guess they put them in, because the hotel is "pet friendly".
It was great. The heater was pretty loud so I didn’t sleep as well as I hoped but it was fine. Overall it was great! I love Kimpton properties. The wine hour and appetizer was delicious.
