I had a comfortable stay at Hotel Virginia Santa Barbara, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The location was fantastic, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. The room was cozy, and I absolutely LOVED the bathroom—it was a standout feature! The only downside was that the front desk could have been more responsive. Overall, a great stay, and I’d consider returning.

I know the city had work to do in front of the hotel. But I don’t think they need to block the front of the hotel off. The car hops were no help. We had to walk down the street with our luggage because our ride could not pull up to the hotel. And it was very cold outside.

Disappointing

Expected much more for the price - almost $300. Room was small, amenities were minimal and seemed to be cost+cutting. No amenities in lobby unlike other Hilton affiliates. Felt below a Holiday Inn Express (which it once was). Shower was weak and drain made clanking noise, and guests above stomped loudly. Staff were nice and location good but we will not stay here again, even at lower cost.
