Our stay at the Courtyard Santa Barbara was quite enjoyable with great rooms and a lovely restaurant. The staff was extremely accommodating, especially when we had some last-minute changes for our meeting. However, the hotel shows some signs of age, particularly in its shared areas and pools, which could use some updates to enhance the overall experience. It was still a good stay for the price, especially considering the location and quality of the restaurant.

Dining at St Remy was a highlight, with breakfast featuring the best French toast I've ever had. It's a bit of a gem, making the overall dining experience quite rewarding.

The pool area seemed a bit worn and could use some refurbishment, which was somewhat disappointing compared to the otherwise nice accommodations. The facilities are adequate but reflect the need for improvements.

My stay was quite frustrating due to the communication issues and the room downgrade without notification. However, the hotel had a good value for money with spacious and clean rooms, and staff members were generally caring and helpful, even if they couldn't resolve my issues in a timely manner.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, being right on State Street with easy access to shops and restaurants. However, the noise from construction was a significant downside during my stay, making it hard to relax. The rooms were decent and clean, but improvements are definitely needed in areas like service and breakfast quality.

The hotel has a great location near State Street, and the staff was very accommodating during our stay. However, be prepared for noisy construction if you're looking for a peaceful experience, and the rooms could use some updates. Overall, it's a decent choice if you plan to be out and about during the day.

The hotel offered a large room that accommodated my family comfortably, and the bathroom was spacious as well. The breakfast was enjoyable and not overcrowded. However, the walking distance to the beach was longer than expected, and the frosted glass bathroom door let in too much light, making it hard for our teenagers to sleep in. Overall, it's a nice place but with a few minor inconveniences.
