First trip to Santa Barbara
It was very nice, Molly at the front desk was super helpful. She really put me at ease for my first trip to Santa Barbara. Only one thing that wasn’t great was the fact that there was no coffee until 6:30 in the morning. It would be nice to have breakfast in the mornings as well.
