Villa Rosa

Cool ocean breeze so no ac needed. Wine and cheese was great along with breakfast in the morning. The room was a little pricey but it was fiesta weekend.

Very disappointing bed and breakfast hotel. The highlight was the friendly lady who checked us in, everything else was unacceptable including morning/breakfast staff. The room and common areas were dirty. Towels and sheets were thin and cheap. There was a kitchen in the room but not one dish or even coffee cup in the cupboards. We would never return.

No airconditioning at this hotel meant that the window had to be open during the night to keep cool enough to sleep.....the problem with this is the noise outside from shipping things...."horns, beeps etc" meant a bad nights sleep. Why in this day an age does a hotel have no A/C?

Location was excellent.We could walk everywhere or get on the shuttle. Hotel was cozy like a private hacienda (home). Bed was new and very comfortable. Towels in bath were VERY nice Hosts were nice. Wine and cheese was very well done. Breakfast was good! There was not a thing we could ask for to make our stay better except more time to stay.

Friendly and attentive staff! :) However, please update the old towels in the room, they were so thin. Please air out the rooms as it smelt like old closet/room (no matter how much lotion/cologne/perfume we used...the smell lingered).

The hotel puts pictures of the hotel rooms online, but not of the "Cottages" where we were suppose to stay. My wife and I were shocked at the condition of the "Cottage" next door. There were mattresses in the closet, Orange peels in the trash and the doors fell of the hinges in the bathroom. The furiture was ancient and in very poor condition. It felt like "Bait-and-Switch" to us , so we asked for a refund, whichwe were told could not be given to us until we talk to the manager who was not present.

Right from the start, I was impress with the hotel until they told me I was staying in a studio next store. I thought okay, but when they took me there. The unit was completely different from the internet photos. The room was set up like the maids quarters with no phone, iron, hair dryer, the bathroom didn't have a counter top, but had one in the kitchen. And why did I get a unit with a kitchen. I told them no way and that the pictures are nothing like this in the internet. They said this unit doesn't have a picture. So they moved me into a livingroom with one bedroom. Outside the unit in the courtyard was where other people lived and all their stuff around the building, also construction material. I hate this place. If you can't stay at the main hotel don't go!

I did not get a qween bed, the room was not complete exposed sheet rock in shower room sheet rock on table covered with plastic wrap. I got a full size bed and paid for a queen. I met the owner who said he would make it right , and never did. I would like my money back because I did not get what I paid for.

We stayed in a cottage which had a queen bed, nice TV, large closet, extra twin bed, and a full kitchen. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

The words that come to mind are: "old world charm" and "cozy atmosphere". We enjoyed our stay and would come again if in the Santa Barbara area.
