Best rooms
Request upper floors (2nd floor and above) at the rear of the hotel, away from the street. These rooms offer more quiet and potentially a glimpse of the surrounding hills.
Request an upper-floor room facing away from the main road. The highest floors get better airflow and less ground-level noise from the car park or entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing Santa Barbara's main road. Street noise and foot traffic can be noticeable, and there's no lift mentioned, so ground-floor rooms may also be near the reception or any service areas.
Avoid any ground-floor rooms near the reception or car park – they get foot traffic, engine noise, and early-morning guest movement.
