Bad Experience

Liked:My most recent stay at the Hilton Santa Barbara was by far the worst HIlton stay I have ever encountered -- for any Hilton property at any class, including two and three star lodgings. Here is an overview: 1) After checking in, which went fairly smoothly, upon arrival in the room, it was clear the room was in poor shape. The bathroom was unclean, the tub surface was pitted and uneven, preventing a full cleaning, and there had been some kind of leak above the bathroom whereas the paint had bubbled, then burst, and had sagging paint on the ceiling and walls 2) The carpet was badly stained 3) The vending machines and ice machines were broken on all floors of the building, requiring walking to another building, whose services were also broken, needing to go to a third. None of the vending machines took electronic payment. 4) When trying to leave the first day, to go to dinner, the key card did not allow the gate to open to drive away from the parking lot. Nobody was in the guard gate, and nobody answered the intercom three times. Finally someone answered the intercom on the fourth try, and curtly said OK, then hung up and a further minute had to transpire before the gate opened. Importantly, the gate was a solid 5 minute walk from the lobby, so there was no option to get out of the car and go to the lobby while waiting (this whole ordeal caused at least four cars to backup waiting to leave, one of which was an employee, who came up to the gate and said, "typical". 5) Upon returning to the hotel the key card didn't open the gate, requiring me to take a ticket to get in. After parking I went to the lobby first and explained the situation. They scanned the key card and said that parking wasn't coded, and re-coded the key cards. 6) When checking out and driving away the key card worked. However after receiving my bill via email, I noticed that parking had been charged TWICE. I had to call Hilton again, and spend 20 minutes on the phone to get a refund of the double charge processed (which is still in process). Needless to say, this is not what I expect from a Hilton property, much less a 4-star Hilton property which does not have a room that costs less than in the $200-dollar range per night, with many costing 2x or 3x that rate.

Expected more from the Hilton especially considering the price.

Liked:Location

Disliked:Food was expensive and mediocre. Order fish and chips from room service, no ketchup included. There were a couple of bugs in the room. Pool was dirty. Pool towels were taken to room and picked up by housekeeper but we were charged for not returning them. Had to go to reception to remove the charge.

Great location for a beautiful resort

Liked:The resort is beautiful with a great location on the waterfront. We walked to the Stearn's Wharf and up State St. The funk zone is nearby as well.

Disliked:A minor detail, but there was a small spot of wallpaper peeling in the room. I expect these little details to be taken care of at a resort that costs this much.
