Breakfast cost way too high.
My biggest issue was the fact that every hotel around the world has free continental breakfast and the Marriot does not. I thought paying $56 for the both of us was very high considering it was no different than the breakfast at the best western for free. We do understand the area but come on breakfast?

Just Okay.
Tedious process when it came to checking in because the front desk spelled my last name wrong. I also paid for breakfast but the front desk forgot to give me the vouchers and I had to ask for it on my last day there. Overall, the experience was okay.

Perfect for a Slovang / Chumash visit.
Perfect place for us, quick brunch breakfast and Tesla Charging station on property. Also, for kids a Mcdonalds next door and Panda & Starbucks across the street 5 min walk. Will gladly come back.
