Perfect little family get-away

It was the perfect place for my daughter and I while we were in town to visit UCSB. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful bike path and close to an ocean front restaurant. Cute little park for kids and restrooms at the beach.

We spent one night at the Palmoro house. The lights in the bathroom and sink area went out Sunday afternoon, and we called the front desk. They did not answer, and did not respond to the vm. We walked to the front desk at Mar Monte because we could not get the golf cart to get us. The lights came back on, but the next morning the lights went out again. Also, you can only watch the TV if you cast from your own device but the WiFi was too weak to successfully watch. The staff was great but stretched too thin. We did like access to the amenities at Mar Monte, but to get out of Palmoro house parking you had to get out of your car to press a button too far from the car. However the price was right, and the location close to the beach is excellent.

Palmoro House

Very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Palmoro House. A little quirky check in as the Palmoro House is about a block away from the check in location, Mar Monte Hotel. The staff was amazing, especially Danielle and Sean. The room was not huge but very nice. The bed was very super comfortable. Bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled! I would definitely stay there again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to my family and friends!

This is a small property with gated parking. It is located just about 2 blocks or so from the beach. You have to check in at a different (sister) hotel, which was strange, but it was a 2 minute drive to the Palmoro. The room was surprisingly nice, although the hallway carpeting and decor were very out of date. That could use a refresh. If you have an EV, there is a destination charger at the Mar Monte (the hotel you have to check in to).

Don’t stay here

I have traveled often around the world and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. There’s better hotels out there for the fraction of the price. The rooms were not thoroughly cleaned. I found chocolate and tissues on the floor.

I didn’t realize when booking online that this was a sister property to Mar Monte Hotel. To check in you have to go to the Mar Monte front desk at the main location. The room was clean but we did find 3 spiders in the room. The tv was a like tricky to set up. You have to mirror your phone onto the tv and watch a program through an app you have downloaded. No local channels

They don't tell you that it's right by the train so you hear the train all night. Then the room service was a joke. The food came like it was tossed around and they didn't even provide utensils.

I loved walking to TRI-COUNTY PRODUCE for a smoothie. I loved the little deck. I didn't like being overcharged & needing to dispute a $270 transaction with my bank, as I paid top dollar, in advance. Staff seemed over tired and there was a general malaise about. Has to wait o er an hour for my room. Online the check-in time posted is 3PM. When you get there it's 4PM. One front desk for such a wide-spread collection of rambling properties is less than adequate. La Palmoro needs its own check-in. OVERPRICED

Never again.

We were not expecting to stay in a separate area than the main hotel. I paid a lot of money only to be on a back alley street by a park where homeless people smashed bottles and threw up by my car. It wasn’t a very safe feeling. When we got to the room the fridge was cold and the toilet paper holder was broken. The shower didn’t have any pressure and tub didn’t drain. We paid for a king and got two twins, maybe they were queens but it was not what we reserved. I wouldn’t ever stay here again. What a waste of money for the worst accommodations. Do better.
