Palmoro House

Took one look at the building and went to the Hotel pictured on the web site to complain. Homeless across the street. Could not get into building. Security gate locked-the worst!!!!!!

Should change web site-a different hotel is shown. Not picture of the actual dump of a hotel.

Should be Called "The Hyatt Back House"

It was clean.

The "Santa Barbara House" is basically a converted apartment building by the 101 Freeway. Its around the corner, and full block away from the actual hotel complex. (Which is actually a nice, beachside hotel.) If you want to spend $200+ per night to stay in an old apartment building by a busy freeway, go for it I guess... If you'd like to stay in an actual hotel, try somewhere else. Honestly, Hyatt should consider selling that property so it can be converted back into an apartment building.

Santa Barbara house

Location is good. Best about the SB house is the park across the street if you bring dogs. Don't mind all the homeless and riff raff lingering around.

View out my window was of a dirty old roof and satellites dishes everywhere. Close hang drying outside next door. For the price point the room was well under standard.

Nice for a short stay

Walking distance to the beach. I stayed on a Thursday night so it was very quite and empty and felt very private. Bed was very comfortable.

Although the rooms have been renovated, the building it self needs updating. The railing at the main entrance is bent pretty badly and leans to one side (probably hit by a car in the parking). Parking has a tight turn around. The bathroom light is located outside the bathroom behind where the door swings so it makes it really hard to find in the middle of the night. The window AC unit can get a bit loud. I had a balcony that faced the park side instead of the ocean side and it was not a very good view. The rooms are nice but not much different from a Motel 5 and costs a lot more. There are no restaurants or bars within walking distance besides the main Hyatt.
