The room was very basic but had everything we needed for our one night stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The pillows were a bit thick and not as soft/squishy as I like. It was very convenient to have the free breakfast buffet included, and the buffet was good with a lot of variety.

I really like this hotel. It's close to SBCC and UCSB where my son attends. I've stayed here 3 times in the last year. My one and only issue is you have to ask for house keeping. They don't automatically do it anymore. This place is getting a 3 this time because the person at the front desk didn't bother to ask me if I wanted it. I feel that's just a given and part of good customer service. And you have to ask the night before. Don't all in the morning they won't do it. Frankly the person on the phone was a bit glib about it. Now I know if I stay there again.
