Everything about this hotel was great. except.......we paid a lot of money for the top floor suite...probably 3 times the $$$ compared to a regular room. It was a special visit for our anniversary and a birthday weekend. The suite was awesome with great views, but not anywhere near worth what they charged. One other thing. If you are staying here and paying this amount of $$$$ and sitting by the pool, there should be staff to serve you out there. You have to get out of the pool, make a phone call to the restaurant (which is a 3' wall away from the pool) and wait for a waitress to bring your drink, with a bill. Every drink was via this process. Really? ever heard of an open tab? anyway, it was no worth the $$$. we will go elsewhere if ever in SB again.

The property was nice. The restaurant had inside and outside dining options but closed at 10 and bar also closed at that time. I don't know if I would stay again as my room over looked a neighborhood and not the beach. That costs much more. They should have electric bikes to rent. I received a text stating they were my assistant for the time I was there, but not onsite. When asking about renting bikes, I was referred to the Hilton down the street. No one was ever onsite as the concierge desk, which I feel was wrong. Someone should be onsite. The valet parking gave me some bottled water; the hotel did not. They had a cooler by the ice machine which you could fill your water bottle, but it never filled it completely. After 10 pm, there is not snacks, drinks, etc. They had a few drinks by the desk and only cookies. You need a vending machine or some snacks. I was told I could walk 2 blocks to a gas station or a convenience store. Others were looking for snacks, too.
