Excellent Hotel with Great Staff

This is a great hotel. We have visited almost all the hotels in this area because my daughter studies in UCSB, and after all, we really love this hotel. The rooms are clean, and the staff (Rodolfo and his manager) are really amazing. They upgrade our room every time we visit, and give us a better room with a beautiful view facing the park. I and my daughter really appreciate what they do.
