I'd definitely stay here again.
Nice hotel. Close to the beach, the pier, and downtown Santa Barbara. Had a suite that was clean and roomy, with a comfortable bed and a private balcony. Only minor complaint is that the Continental breakfast could have been better. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
