Nice, but a little noisy
Nice place, but you hear a lot of what goes on outside in your room. Also, only one elevator in the far back, but looks like there is another under construction now.

Great option near UCSB and airport
All fine very decent buffet breakfast that gets very crowded on weekends. A ton of single use plastic and disposable forks etc in use.
Rooms simple but functional and a good bed. I had never had a request to not have housekeeping so that was different! A bit of room noise next door. And sadly a pool and hot tub issue left it closed on our final day. Helpful staff, good gym. Walkable to Trader Joe’s and restaurants if you don’t have a car, and super close to the airport!
