I will start with the negative. We were not there long enough!!! What an absolutely adorable place! As a Hilton diamond member, the staff called me before we checked in to let me know that they were upgrading us to a suite. What a treat! I was already excited because our room had a little patio that overlooked the pool. The staff was absolutely incredible and so helpful and cheerful. We loved that they had a restaurant and bar on site and lots of cute seating areas outside. There were even fire pits! The rooms were cozy and comfortable.
I highly recommend this place for a couples getaway or even a family getaway.
I truly cannot say enough about the helpfulness of the staff. We were very sad that our stay was only one night.

It was an enjoyable stay. I think it's an old converted motel, as I had a room on the ground floor with cars parked out front my window. 😅 But inside it was fully updated and quite posh/trendy looking. The lobby was also kitted out and seemed comfy. I ate at the restaurant for breakfast and it was ace 10 outta 10. I looked at the pool and it had nice Santa Barbara vibes. All in all, I would consider staying here again. But I think I'd bring ear plugs because cars can be noisy and the walls & door aren't soundproof.

Decent hotel for a one-night stay.
The staff were very welcoming and professional.
The room was nice but quite small. We had two large suitcases that we couldn’t lay flat without moving some of the furniture around. There were also some annoying noises coming from the walls for most of the night.
The parking area is huge but expensive.
Still, I would recommend it for a short stay.
