Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
3.5 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (1002)
"Beds weren’t too comfortable but the room was overall pretty clean. There were pieces of hair here and there in the bathroom. The room smelt of really strong bleach unfortunately and there was no switch to turn on the bathroom fan to try and air it out and the window didn’t open either. The hotel is very small and isn’t in a super scenic location but it was fine for the one night trip we had. We reserved the double queen and it was a good size with a small fridge, working AC, and lots of closet...

"Fantastic, and quiet stay in Santa Barbara. Easy walking to wharf, State Street, food and just drinking in the natural beauty of the beach all the way down to East Beach. CJ and Ben were great hosts, friendly and knowledgeable. Spend some time chatting with them. The suite was clean and comfortable, my only complaint was the creaky bed springs. I loved hearing the water fountain outside my window at night and smelling the sea air. Lovely and I will be back. "
