Lynnea front desk took such good care of daughter Riley and I. Due to minor accident she got us in early and a warm hug was so welcoming right from the start. Other staff valet Nate and Jonathon so professional and knowledgeable about thearea. We shared MANY laughs in our 3 day stay. The details and decor the atmosphere of the entire hotel and surrounding areas was more than we could ever ask for. We are returning for sure

A quite interesting inn. A bit old but pretty clean. Staff are nice though a lot of them don’t speak English which was not quite convenient for us. They are very friendly though.

This place was a lil outdated, but it also was cute. Parking would have been a lil challenging but we got luck and were able to get parking right in front of the building. The staff was very friendly. I can’t remember her name ( sorry) but she is the one that checked us in. She was super friendly and sweet. It was my first time in Santa Barbara so she was so nice to give me a pamphlet and suggested a couple of places with good life, music and good food.

The property is in a great location! It is good value. I would not consider what they offered to be a continental breakfast. I would have rates it a four had it not been for losing electricity on at 8:00am on the last day of my stay

Poorly staffed. Could never find anyone at the front desk to help with problems. Ice machine broken, no one at desk to ask for alternative. First room provided had not been cleaned, beds were slept in and wet towels on the floor. Second room lacked towels. Had to go across the street to a different hotel to get ice. The Continental breakfast was very poor. Out of bread, out of milk, waffle maker filthy with burnt batter. No staff present to assist with anything. Lovely little hotel in a great location terribly managed.

We had stayed at Villa Rosa before and loved the ambiance of the inn and were so excited to come back. We were given a room in an annex instead of the main building and it was horrible! There was no place to hang clothes or put suitcases, the shower was a jacuzzi tub with shower head in the middle of it (not acceptable for an elderly person), and there was a dirty diaper and adirty drink cup on the balcony. My husband went to the front desk and got us room in the main building and it was as cute and comfortable as it had been on our first visit to Villa Rosa. The moral of the story is to make sure you get a room in the mainbuilding.
