Our experience was not great at all at this hotel. We arrived at our room and the room was like an oven and so we turned on the AC. We called the front and they told us someone would stop by. We decided to step out for dinner and when we arrive, the room was still hot. We ended up calling to switch rooms. This was close to 7pm. The room we were given was also an oven, but our baby’s bedtime was soon so we ended up sleeping in a hot room. The hotel room did not cool down until around almost 2am. Needless to say we will not be staying at that hotel we ever again. Worst experience ever

Nice quiet property and resort. The service was pretty bad. They always run out of towels at pool even though it was not crowded. They had sofa bed which was worst quality. They did not provide extra sheet, pillow or comforter. When asked, they dropped one item and forgot the rest. Even though we were family of four they put limited cups, coffee and other supplies including bathroom items. We would always run out and they won't pick the phone at desk. They had expensive parking and very expensive restaurants on site. Their discount is useless. Not many other options to eat closeby. They charged extra service charges at checkout which was not mentioned on Expedia while booking, however it was not significant amount. Overall experience was just okay. Was expecting a lot based on rating, pics and cost.

Have stayed at the Steward a few times when in the Santa Barbara area. First stay since it changed ownership- glad to say, the rooms and the rest of the property have been maintained well. Mattress super comfortable, best night sleep I have had in awhile. Only negative was the $30 a night parking charge. I can see this in downtown, but the outskirts of Goleta? Otherwise a great stay.

The steward is a hidden gem. We happen to come across by chance. It is such a lush property. We loved walking the grounds with our dog. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast brought out by Angel. He was so informative and pleasant as was everyone else. We will definitely be back soon. The only thing is, I think the rooms should have screens so you can enjoy the beautiful clean air without all the bugs.

Overall a good stay. We liked the hotel and cleanliness and would stay here again. Just some small stuff, like a room for 5 people and only 2 towel hooks, one hook coming off the wall. Didn’t have the room we booked (maintenance issue), but sorted things out rate wise which was fair to us. A bit noisy at times from other rooms (we were on first level) but nothing that kept us awake all night.

Quaint Hotel

The hotel is very cute. I was nervous after reading a couple of bad reviews, but I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. I only have two recommendations. One is to request a room facing the pool. The street side is a little bit loud. The second would be not to prepay for breakfast at a cost of $60. We would have spent less just paying out of pocket. Otherwise the hotel is beautifully appointed and was prefect for our needs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

I stayed here for two nights. The room itself was clean and as advertised, which pleased me, but had I known this property was literally next to the freeway, I would not have booked here. I heard the freeway noise and felt the car rumblings both nights, which made it hard to fall asleep. Also, it's not well-insulated with sound proofing. I think the glass is single-pane and I could hear my upstairs neighbor clomping and stomping around both nights and mornings. If you sleep like a rock, it would be a good place to stay, but if not, book somewhere else.
