1. The restaurant was less than exciting, with both a football game and radio station playing, neither of which I needed, and overpriced mediocre food.

2. As anyone who has visited Santa Barbara knows, everything is overpriced, so while that extra $112 stung a bit, it was not entirely unexpected.

3. There is a spa available, (overpriced as expected but not grossly so, rates run between $100-$200), outdoor pool (which we did not use because it was always packed with families and children), and restaurant which I did not personally visit but was told it is very nice.

4. It may be that all Santa Barbara hotels are overpriced.

5. The location is excellent to enjoy Santa Barbara's east beach and we had a lovely breakfast included with the GC that was not quite as overpriced as the room.

6. Overall my though were ok but overpriced room - you are paying for location across from the beach.

7. Another caveat regarding the pool, beware of ordering the very small and ice chunk-filled $10 pina colada - very weak and overpriced.
