5. We weren't into this and it was the noise down the hall that would have been difficult to manage through we had not been early risers on the trip.

"Great location, some inconveniences and simply average for a "historic" hotel in Santa Barbara. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/27/2011 Vote

6. Also, a good bit of noise from the parking lot, perhaps just because the building is old and not well-insulated from the outside.

7. Upon check-in they have you sign an agreement that you can be charged for excessive noise, but didn't seem to enforce the noise policy-- loud people in the hall at all hours of the night.

8. If I had to add one negative, it would be our room was facing the parking lot (no problem with that) and the noise at some of the nightclubs was a little loud.

9. This was noisy (also street noise of trucks in the morning) Management dealt very well with the problem and we got another room not facing the main road the next 2 nights For the HI to advertise their complementary breakfast as nutriuous is a bit much.
