I am so happy we stayed here for a concert at the Santa Barbara bowl. It was so convenient and the room was great. It was about a 15 minute walk to the Santa Barbara bowl and it was so worth it to not deal with all the parking and traffic. The room was in pristine condition and that building feels very high quality - not just in the finishes with the marble and plaster , but also in the construction. I like the little kitchenette area and the nespresso machine, the bathroom was super nice with very soft super white towels, the bed was comfortable, and the room had everything you would need. The only thing I disliked was that the blinds only mostly covered the windows so the sunlight does come in the morning and the air conditioner blows air fairly strong. I always travel with my eye mask so you might want to bring one as well. We tried adjusting the thermostat a few times, and eventually we got it to the way we wanted. We really appreciated having the EV chargers there and it made our trip so much easier. When we got up the next morning, we walked to a nearby coffee shop and did some strolling and walking and just left the car at the hotel. It was super convenient and I would definitely stay here again. Our room was upstairs. I highly recommend.
