Frommer's "The hotel's location across the street from the beach and bike/inline skating path is ideal if you like to be in the middle of the action: It's close to Stearns Wharf, the harbor, the zoo, and the Funk Zone, a buzzing new arts district, which includes the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail"
Gayot "Conference-goers and tourists flock here for in-room basics that go beyond the call of duty (from Bose stereos to wet bars to 42-inch flat-screen TVs to Crabtree and Evelyn bath and body products), as well as the expected resort amenities --- an outdoor heated pool, Jacuzzi, putting green and three tennis courts"
Fodor's "Most rooms have private balconies and terraces, and suites have a wet bar, a spa tub, and a small refrigerator"
Star Service "Done in a modern bent, replete with stylish urban-inspired appointments and a plasma-screen TV, the lounge stages jazz within view of the Pacific, and the more casual bar offers the same"
