Santa Barbara hotels near Stearns Wharf

Cons: AC did not work.

Cons: The walls are so thin that you hear conversations next door and people walking and even moving in their bed above you. If you stay here, at least insist on an upper level room.

Cons: there were little gnats or fruitflies in our rooms (we changed rooms and the fruitflies were there too)- the bathrooms could've been cleaner- the tub had hair in it and could use a little bleach in the corners

Cons: The hotel felt old and worn out. The Wi-Fi didn't work consistently. The tub didn't drain and even a short shower resulted in standing in ankle deep water.

Cons: I thought the beds a bit too soft but the linens and amenities were nice.

Cons: The photos really made it out to be much nicer than it was. The rooms are small and the pool is way less chic than I had anticipated. It was fine for a night but my wife would have made us find a better hotel for we stayed any longer.

Cons: It's all about the beds. There are no other real amenities.

Cons: Breakfast room much too crowded!

Cons: Air conditioner didn’t work very well. Walls are paper thin.

Cons: Motel style with exterior doors, could hear neighbors coming and going (this was not actually very disruptive), slow wifi

Cons: Pool didn't open until 9:00!!

Cons: Carpet seemed a little dated. An older hotel that they are working to update. Very few outlets, although the bedside lamps each had a USB port.

Cons: Poor maintenance -- electrical problems with bathroom fan, bedroom fan, and lighting. Apparently these problems are known and property managers have chosen not to fix them. Desk staff knew about them and just sort of shrugged when we reported the overhead bedroom light randomly turning on during the night. Also, general daily grounds clean up was deficient -- trash not picked up by staff as they walk around; leaves and debris not swept in common areas. Great property but disappointing maintenance and attention to detail -- especially for the price!

Cons: Rooms are sparse; walls are paper thin between rooms; all hotel room doors slam when closed, shaking our room each time hotel guests come and go. $30 a day extra to park on-site plus valet tips adds up quickly. Except for the fabulous location, hotel guest room feels like a Motel 6 (and we had a partial ocean view deluxe room!)

Cons: Terrible pillows. No air conditioning. Small rooms.

Cons: The room was small, and what I mean is 2-4' around the bed and a bath, period. But while we were not there for the room, or planned to spend a lot of time there...we were going to explore the city not the room mentality. So while the room was very clean and functional, it certainly served it purpose well. Would I still book there again, yes. The fair price for the room, was justified by the location that can't be bought.

Cons: the walls were quite thin and I could every word from the people in the hall or those at the pool.

Cons: We enjoyed everything only couple things we were hesitant about. Rooms were hot no Ac which we understood since it was abnormally hot this summer. Last time we stayed here breakfast had meat and cheese to go with breakfast this year just hard boiled eggs bread,fruit,cereal,oatmeal. Missed the meat and cheese.

Cons: The staff at night was very rude. We got in really late and when I walked into the lobby I was asked “do you need something?” Not the greeting I was expecting. Then the check in attendant looked like he was in the back room sleeping. His hair was a mess and he was rude. There was no regular coffee in the room. When I spoke with the manager, he didn’t seem at all concerned with anything I had to say. Not happy with the staff at all.

Cons: Overpriced, sub par room, lacking toiletries, humid and damp

Cons: Could hear upstairs neighbor due to the hard wood floors.

Cons: Remodel going on upstairs from our room. Front desk never told us about it going on. Very noisy and they started at 7:45-7:00 pm

Cons: They charged a $30 a day for parking and a $15 resort fee. We stayed two nights so that was an unexpected extra $100. The next hotel we stayed at didn't play any of those games.

Cons: The room was tiny and very hot with no air circulating. We had to check out.

Cons: The room was hot, tiny and extremely uncomfortable. You couldn't even open the window because they had martini glasses, wine bottles, snacks etc in the way. There was no AC and only a fan. If they would invest in some AC units, it would have at least been tolerable. Some of the staff were rude as well. And it was overpriced. Don't stay here, stay anywhere else.

Cons: It was an apartment converted to hotel ( I guess) . Hardwood floor when walking made screeching noise ... Also from top floor as well ... When the neighbor rooms use the restroom the water they use in shower or flushing sound was felt like it's happening next to you .. Had only swimming and not enough bikes so don't expect that you will be able to get one.. The telephone was not working ..

Cons: Incredibly loud drilling, construction or something going upstairs woke us up at 7 AM and wouldn't stop. That was a fun surprise. Tried to call the front desk multiple times with no answer. Eventually got moved to a different room where it was quieter but the hot water more or less didn't work. Also in the new room the overhead light for some insane reason randomly turned on at 6 AM every single morning and woke us up. Pillows left us with aching necks. For the money, the quality of this hotel was impossibly shitty. Staff were very friendly and helpful but whoever owns/runs this place is coasting on the location alone and keeps the rooms in an embarrassing state. Would not stay here again or recommend it.

Cons: Roommate couldn't get into room before 4pm when she arrived mid morning. Not sure what priorities are used to determine which room is cleaned first... was it because I booked through a travel metasearch engine rather than the hotel? Also really surprised that the printer needed a cartridge to print, and staff was not able to print our boarding passes on another printer.

Cons: Extremely overpriced hotel. We paid over $400/ night for a room with king bed, so small that you couldn't walk around the bed, room was called Santa Barbara but it was smaller that any room I paid over $400/ night. The tub was very gross and smelly, the headboard to the bed was scratched and disgusting. No air conditioning. Not nice service at the front desk. One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.

Cons: The walls were paper thin and you could hear everything. We could not sleep at all. We heard people in the pool and the person going in and out of the room next to us and running the shower and walking down the hallway. The sink had hair all over it when we checked into the room. The bathroom was really dirty. One of the lamps did not work in the room.

Cons: The hotel was WAY overpriced for what you received. Our room was worn, old and dirty. The tub was gross, the headboard to the bed was scratched and disgusting and the chairs were ripped. By far, one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.

Cons: The bathroom was old, probably needs new plumbing fixtures. Also the tiles were very slippery. Refrigerator wasn't working, and ice machines are located in remote areas of the hotel grounds. The room was hot and humid, might need central air to help with this problem.

Cons: They do charge for $18 for the daily parking lot fee and why is there a room service charge of $12. With the price you pay for just the room, shouldn't that charge already be included in that?? We paid $36700 for one night and when I checked my credit card online, I saw that they charged $418.00

Cons: No A/C and homeless guy sleeping in the nearby park (seems to be endemic to SB) No police stopping him.

Cons: Absolutely nothing. Expensive but worth the splurge.

Cons: Tiny rooms. Loud street noise all night. Inconsistent seevice, some great, some disinterested. Poor shower pressure. Weak air conditioning in bedroom.

Cons: The pool staff was horrible. So slow, so inattentive, and kind of rude.

Cons: We asked for coffee in our room and it was delivered. A Keurig with less than quality coffee and not too much of it.

Cons: Room was becoming worn and torn, with some awkward elements like a flat screen in the bathroom that was too big for the space. I understand they're going for chic, but ultimately fell flat and was silly. Less is more.

Cons: We will be staying again in July as our daughter is getting married very close to the hotel. The individuals we talked to in setting up several suite reservations and possibly doing a bridal lunch were somewhat customer service lacking.

Cons: nothing

Cons: A bit noisy in the room. Rooftop is cute but small. Pool and jacuzzi is small.

Cons: Rooms and bathroom a bit small

Cons: High price for valet-only parking

Cons: The hotel was very noisy and only moderately clean. There was mold in the bathroom and several spiders in the room. The bed was also unomfortable.

Cons: They seem to be a bit understaffed.
