Ala Mar by the Sea

Ala Mar by the Sea

8/10 Good
"TV didn't work until I figured it out after two days. The AC was too cold when we arrived; I turned it off. Couldn't get it to run the next day, nor could the staff. I figured it out on day 2. They offered to move us to another unit. I would still stay here again because the price is low and the location is good."

10/10 Excellent
"It was a good stay at Mason Inn. Convenient location, pleasant staff. The coffee, cookies and fruit were a nice touch, as well as the welcome drink. I'm just not sure why you have to charge for parking? It's a small inn. Anyways, something to think about on my next visit. Overall, we were pleasantly pleased."

Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right in the center of State Street. Pets stay FREE! Parking price is reasonable for the area. The hotel is very nice, courteous staff, and large rooms with a minifridge and a minibar and snacks for sale in the room. Good mocktails at the bar. Oh, and you can’t go wrong with the free cookies at check-in too! The only two areas that I marked down from 5 stars to 4 were for the staff taking over an hour and 3 requests to get dog bowls in my room and for the amenities (no room service, minimal food choices at the bar only, and no pool)."
