All the staff were super friendly and helpful, especially at the busy Lido Cafe. Food at the Lido was very good. (Try the warm olive appetizer, the fried chicken sandwich, and especially the delicious bread pudding.) I liked that our room was a block away from the main hotel - very quiet except for the occasional train whistle. Very much worth the discounted price for a 2 minute stroll to the pool. Gated parking (for an extra $19).

The hot tub was not working properly - lukewarm. This was disappointing since it was one of the main reasons I selected this hotel. It also meant that lots of children were using it as a kiddie pool. Maintenance was apparently working to fix it, but as we were only there one night, we didn’t get to enjoy it.

The Mar Vista complex of properties is conveniently located near the beach and Milpas Street, allowing easy access to shops, restaurants, and the freeway. Upon arrival, we enjoyed their beautiful gym and complimentary cocktails. Our hotel looked over the nearby park and was quiet, save for the coastal train going by occasionally.

The properties are highly-priced, so I have a hard time answering the question of value.

Everything. The location, the structure, the interior design, the staff, the bedding, tv, bathroom, amenities!! I wish we didn't have to leave so early!!! 😭 But definitely will be back to this hotel when I return to Santa Barbara.

My window view. Lol but it's nothing serious. I can just step outside and walk to the beach. :)

The food was amazing. breakfast was incredible We arrived late and wanted a drink 3 minutes to closing sue chef made it happen (Rusty thanks.) we ended up having accommodation change we stayed in sister branch the MAR MONTE 🏨

Having to pay 36 a night to park

The location says it all. We booked palomaro but got upgraded to the main location that was waterfront. Service was great from all staff.

Both restaurant options on the property are over priced and lack exciting food. Cheese board for 20 bucks with some Costco grapes, a few tiny pieces of cheese and some frozen jam. Try some other amazing local spots!

Lovely spot and lovely location. Nice clean rooms.

Nothing really…couldn’t be helped but our room neighbour had a young child that woke at around 0530 and appears to be left to scream for nearly an hour but not a property issue, more of a booking issue and room allocation.

The location was walkable to the beach and restaurants. The hotel room was simple, but nicely decorated and comfortable.

Parking was not included and had a fee. Very disappointing. Good thing there outside parking available.

We were given an upgrade and stayed at the sister property, the Mar Monte Hotel. We loved our stay there, the room was big, the pool heated. The service was excellent.

My credit card was swiped twice by mistake, but an application was made for a refund, along with apologies for the mix up.

Location is good. It's peaceful and quiet.

We got lost finding the building. The staff was not clear with directions. We ended up in the wrong place and building (the residence area. quiet upsetting for us who were tired with the long drive and eager to rest). they should do a better job in giving directions.

Before my trip I had an accident and requested an accesible room. Made a call to hotel and they were very accommodating, I did not stay at Palmoro, I stayed at Mar Monte next to the Elevator. I would definitely go back to Mar Monte, excellent and I loved they are pet friendly.
