Hotel Villa Rosa Inn (Santa Barbara, USA)

The hotel is within two blocks of many attractions - shops, restaurants and entertainment are all nearby. The coast is also just steps from the hotel, which is nice if you want to enjoy a beach getaway with quick access to the water and sand.

If you prefer to stay somewhere that is not a chain hotel, this property is more like a home and offers a welcoming and warm ambiance. The rooms are each different in layout and style, which adds to the overall charm of the accommodations. Guest rooms are also spacious and inviting, ideal when you want to relax after a day of exploring.

In addition to the unique atmosphere, there are some special amenities you will find here that set it apart from other nearby chain hotels - such as the complimentary breakfast and evening cocktail hour. There is also a spa onsite, which is perfect if you are on a romantic getaway or looking for a massage while on holiday.

The overall property is a bit on the small side and the parking lot is no exception. There is limited parking available in the lot --  if you don't have the opportunity to park in it, you will need to find a paid parking lot or park it on the street.

Despite the unique feel of each room, the décor is slightly outdated and worn. The overall look of the furniture is quite dated and the décor doesn't match as well as it could in a more modern room.

There is no air conditioning throughout the property or in the guest rooms.
