Worst Hilton I’ve been at. The hotel is far from being beach front. It is in fact sandwiched between a highway, a busy noisy road and a train track! Hallway carpet smells like urine and is so faded it looks like it was last changed in the 80s.

HILTON SANTA BARBARA

The property was beautiful. I had issues with the Security Box Gate access to exit and enter the property. A sign to explain the access process for the elderly would have been helpful. The beds have a permanent foundation and a mattress, which is common for a lot of hotels. The prioblem with one of our beds was, the foundation wasn't padded enough on the side of the bed. Other than that, the room was excellent. Had a great view of the ocean. Our room was directly above the outdoor dining area facing the ocean. The noise from people below us, and out on the extended grass party area did not bother ys at all. The breakfast at the restaurant on the property was really good for dinner. We did not care for the breakfast

The property itself is attractive and has potential, but for a four-star resort, it fell short in several areas. To start, the room we were given had wallpaper peeling from the walls and noticeable debris—grass and what looked like leaves—on the carpet near the sliding glass door. It gave the impression that the room hadn’t been properly cleaned or maintained before our arrival. The biggest issue, however, was with the internet. Upon checking in, we discovered that there was no connectivity in our room. Alberto, who appeared to be a manager, asked me to call tech support. After waiting on hold for nearly 30 minutes, I finally reached someone who walked me through standard troubleshooting steps—everything I had already tried on my own. The problem persisted, and after another long hold (20+ minutes), I gave up and messaged Alberto again. He said someone from IT would contact me. Eventually, I received a call, and they resolved the issue by simply rebooting the router. Once that was done, everything worked fine. Still, the experience felt more like dealing with a tech issue at home than enjoying a relaxing stay at a high-end resort. Additionally, for a property of this size and rating, it was disappointing that no complimentary breakfast was offered. Instead, we were charge
