Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail Ski Holidays

Very old building, renovation is way overdue, wrinkly carpet, restroom with little, poor lighting, leaky water faucet. Very loud window AC unit, difficult to sleep. Saggy mattress. Can’t believe I paid so much for a five-day stay.

Great!

The staff was so amazing! Pleasant and helpful. It was especially nice that they volunteered to give me a room upgrade.

The Metro is close to Union Station; you can walk w a roller bag. The neighborhood is sort of ‘less than’; however if you walk a few+ blocks you can get to downtown, Chinatown, little Tokyo, etc. The room I had was, as we say in Texas, ‘rode hard and put up wet’. It was worn. The window overlooked a dumpster surrounded by construction debris. I would guess the fleur di lis polyester bedspread was at least 30 yrs old. I could go on but the room fit my need to have a cheap place to stay, close to union station, and clean enough. I actually think it is clean but the carpet, furniture, the lobby, the elevator are all aged and affected the feel of the place. Just don’t go expecting a Holiday Inn/Best Western style place, it is more retro and not in a good way. I shan’t stay there again.

Ice machine has a water dispenser next to it!
