聖塔芭芭拉史杜瓦德酒店 - 臻品之選酒店(The Steward, Santa Barbara, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel)

Loved our 1 night stay here. Recently renovated, a chic/modern style boutique, clean, pool view room was quiet considering it's off a highway. The bar should be advertised open as I thought it was closed since the kitchen was closed when we checked in until dinner. The bar and lounge area are superb to have cocktails and take to the pool, many seating areas and all instagram worthy. Rooms are spacious and we slept well! Overall great stay.

Booked a room weeks before trip to Santa Barbara when there were plenty of hotel options. Three days before checkin, Pacific Suites sent an email which said the hotel was under refurbishment and pool and ALL PUBLIC AREAS were unavailable. Many other hotel options were booked and what we found was 40% more expensive than had been. Such a deceptive set of actions.

This hotel is a Big Ripoff!!! Please DON’T book this hotel until they update their room and adjust their prices much lower. The website of Pacific Suites shows this hotel is “TOP RATED”. And the website info thought we got last room, we grabbed it right away! It turn out to be it is. Trap! This room need to update. Air condition is very loud during the night. The hotel is half empty. But we paid $250+ for a night. It is totally not TRUE! This is the worst experience we ever had. When we drove from San Diego to San Francisco. Half way, we need to find a

The entrance is charming, but the unit was run down. As a plus, the bed was very comfortable. But a van was parked in the back that someone clearly was living out of, and we were told “he was going to be evicted soon”. The part that bothered me the most, though, was the dirty ring in the toilet that could have been solved with some bleach - if that is dirty, what else is not clean?

Overpriced hotel in Santa Barbara. In need of updating. Sofa bed was terrible and unsupportive. Beds were too soft and the bathroom was too small. They charge for parking. And they don’t offer any breakfast. I would not stay here again unless they did a major renovation.
