Loved our stay at Drift Hotel back in May! Sleek, stylish and perfectly situated on State Street. What more could you ask for? I opted for the Penthouse room as it was a special occasion and it was totally worth the cost. The room was unbelievable and exactly as pictured with a living room, kitchen, private balcony overlooking State Street, two bathrooms and a lounge area with a firepit. The firepit was easy to operate and so cozy to sit around with a glass of wine. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even with no official concierge. They even had champagne in the room for me upon arrival, which was a nice and thoughtful touch. Caveat (not a total con): You do have to park in a paid lot about a block away but you can load in/out in the lot behind the hotel. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and recommend the Penthouse for a special occasion or event! read more

If you don't mind smaller than NYC hotel small then this is your place. But if you have any luggage then you might not like it unless you get the big upgrade. Overall clean, however you can literally hear everything in every room. I had to tell the crying girls to knock it off it was so intrusive. But location is great for walking. read more

Drift Santa Barbara - Bar area/ check in - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

The pictures online are deceiving (which is why I'm writing this review). The room we stayed in was incredibly small. We are used to small rooms in SB but this was ridiculous. Think NYC but with a youth hostel feel. On top of the small size of the room, the functionality of the room (the sink by the bed) and non-existent/ horrible lighting put this room as one of the worst rooms I've ever stayed in. This is based on the pictures online and therefore the expectation of what we thought we were going to experience. If you get this room for $300ish a night you may want to consider it because of the location. For the $600 plus / night stay I would strongly consider another option. read more

I would recommend it if you're a solo traveler, under five feet tall, and enjoy standing. Like a cabin on a ship. Can only get in the bed on one side, toilet is very very low, no chairs. Decor and fixtures are lovely. read more

We had a phenomenal stay at the Drift Hotel in Santa Barbara. The hotel has a nice, chic aesthetic and is in a premiere location along State Street in Santa Barbara. Depending on the room, some reviewers have mentioned them being on the smaller side. We opted for one of the medium rooms and felt that it was a great size and worth the extra cost. Hotel staff was extremely friendly and we loved that the Dawn coffee shop and the Dusk bar were attached to the property (Dusk in particular is phenomenal). The hotel had everything you needed and was executed well. My one con is that some outside noise does seep in (they have ear plugs if you want). Overall, I would definitely stay in this hotel again for the prime location, kind staff, high quality rooms, and attached bar/coffee shop. Note- There is a parking lot close by for 25 dollars per day. They also have a partnership with Buttonwood Vineyard where you get a buy one get one free wine tasting. read more

Drift Santa Barbara - Amazing view - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I booked this stay expecting a relaxing, high-end experience, and instead had one of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. The hotel failed to disclose that a large music festival was taking place directly next to the property, with loud DJ sets running until 2am. From check-in at 4pm through late into the night, there was constant, heavy bass and music blasting outside my window. This was not minor noise. It made it impossible to relax or even comfortably sit in the room. When I called the front desk shortly after arriving to ask when the music would end, I was told I could use earplugs and a noise machine. I raised multiple concerns during my stay, and while the front desk agent was kind, no meaningful solution was offered that evening. The following day, I spoke with the Assistant General Manager, Oscar, who lacked empathy and stated there was nothing they could do, claiming they were unaware of the event. This was difficult to believe given that there were visible flyers posted outside the hotel and throughout the surrounding streets promoting the festival and its late hours. A small discount was offered, which did not come close to addressing the severity of the disruption. I requested a follow-up conversation with the General Manager and was told I would receive a call on Monday, April 6. That call never happened. Hotels have a responsibility to disclose major disruptions such as nearby events or construction that materially impact a guest's stay. Had I known my experience would be dominated by a loud dj music festival, I would not have booked this property. I have stayed at other the Drift properties, including Palm Springs and San José del Cabo, and had great experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. I have also stayed at multiple hotels within the Design Hotels collection, and I am genuinely shocked this property meets that standard. For a hotel positioning itself as a luxury boutique escape and charging around $500 per night, this experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend staying here. read more

Pros: - Location - right on State street, a short walk to the farmers market and funk zone - Refrigerator in room - Modern aesthetic Cons: - Expensive for what it is - Door code did not work for the final 36 hours of our visit; needed to ask front podium person to let us in when needed - Tiny room with tiny window; be prepared for second person to crawl across the entire bed if they need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night - "Bathroom" lighting is terrible for doing makeup - Room felt too cramped for 2 people to open suitcases; no closet in room - Thermostat does not actually control the room temperature - Need to text "Eve" a day in advance if you want room cleaning - Hallway sounds permeate into the room - Shower head is not very powerful - No desk in room read more

Despite an AMAZING staff, led by super talented and just wonderful manager Jackie, this hotel is AWFUL. Whoever the architect is, he or she clearly grew up in a Soviet prison and has never had to stay in a hotel ever. The nicest rooms they have are micro jail cells without closets, almost no places to hang clothes or towels (two hooks by the toilet are all you get for towels and any hanger-clothes), no privacy for the toilet, and unworkable and cramped placement of the shower stalls. Absolute CRAP rooms: designed by a totally incompetent moron. What a shame for the designers of this prison to foist their crappy, impractical, not at all user friendly designs on staff who deserve so much better. Located in PRIME real estate on State Street - with loads of amazing restaurants and bars just steps away - the staff is the only saving grace for this nightmare of a hotel. The bar staff at Dusk, and the food and drink, are pretty great. But Nothing compares to the SUPERSTAR manager: Jacque (Jackie). She leads a badly designed building with grace, charm, superior professionalism, and a welcoming ability to solve problems and make her guests feel adored and well cared for. The owners should tear this building down to the studs and give someone as amazing as Jacque (Jackie) a building worthy of her managerial excellence. Until then, we will never be staying at this hotel again, ever. But seriously hoping we end up staying somewhere where Jackie is in charge: she's amazing! read more

Pros and cons, like many reviews. I love their technology and seamless check-in process. They have an automated AI type text system that gives you recommendations and information, and makes requests of the staff for you (request yoga mats, yoga blocks, lighted makeup mirror, etc.). So no hassle with getting what you need. The room is small, yes, but it truly utilizes its entire space. The decor and quality is upscale. Enough space for me to workout on the provided yoga mat. Shower was also great. Location is ideal- no need to drive, you're already in the spot. The Dawn and Dusk restaurants are excellent, and literally right there! See other reviews. The cons are the lighting (even with the lighted makeup mirror, it was so hard to get my makeup right), the noise (loud bass from the clubs you feel in your body that goes until 2 am, and keeps you awake), and the pillows (too squishy and sink down just as soon as you get comfortable). Spent most of the night tossing and turning. Glad we only stayed one night. There's also no amenities such as a gym, pool, or hot tub. read more

Nicely decorated, very small space,minimal amenities. Be aware that the Hotel is aware of parking scam. They charge you $18 then the lot where they "claim" is for hotel guests, is not and you will be charged their price on top of what you already paid. They know about this as it's mentioned in other reviews. Hard pass on re-booking. read more

I recently stayed at Drift and my experience could've been better. The location can't be beat. Located right on State St., it's in the heart of the action. Another plus was that it was easy to pull the car in to unload my luggage. Please note: Overnight parking is off-site. My gripe with the hotel is that I did not feel 100% safe, reason being is that the elevator did not require a room key or even a code to get upstairs. Hypothetically, anyone can walk into the hotel via the Dusk Bar and simply take the elevator up to the rooms... something to bear in mind if you're a woman traveling alone. While the room's aesthetic was minimal and clean, it did feel a bit cramped, dark, and cold (130-160 sq. ft.). For example, the sink was located at the foot of the bed which I thought was odd. Also, there was very little counter space to work with. These things could be overlooked if the bed and pillows were exceptional but sadly, that was not the case. All in all, I didn't hate my experience. With that said, I think there are comparable hotels in the area. read more

It was an interesting experience for sure. No onsite human support as everything is done through the app or text. Room was cute, modern, and overall not too bad, as everything functioned properly. We were right at the center so it was slightly noisy but they provided ear plugs. Coffee shop and bar downstairs. read more

Pros: - seamless no contact check in - VERY friendly staff - PRIME location - communication via text is 10/10 (they respond very quickly) - rooms are so cute and had everything we needed - beds are comfy - the scent for their toiletry items (shampoo, conditioner, lotion etc) smell so good. I debated buying it lol - they have a bar (Dusk) and a coffee shop (Dawn) downstairs, very convenient! - mini fridge, boxed water, coffee/tea supplies in room Cons: - no valet - "city view" meant the buildings roof. Can't see anything - lighting is pretty bad for makeup purposes. Our window was facing against the sun so it was dark in our room - no additional amenities like pool, gym etc All in all, we'd stay here again. We loved it. We celebrated our anniversary and staff left us champagne & chocolate. They were so sweet!! The cons are nothing compared to the pros. Loved Drift. Thank you so so much for having us! We'll be back. read more

I loved the location for this spot, right off of State Street and it has a bar and coffee shop right outside the entrance. Although I didn't get to try either they both looked like cool spots to stop. There is a door that blocks off the bar and I was worried it would be noisy since we were on the same floor and only a few steps from the bar but it wasn't too bad. Plus the hotel supplies ear plugs which came in good use for me. The beds were super comfy for being bunk beds. The ceiling space is plentiful so the top bunk had a lot of space above, didn't have to worry about hitting your head in the ceiling. The shower is not so private, the curtain only closes off one side so if you are sharing this room with someone that you don't want to see you naked, then make sure they stay on the bed lol. M only gripe was table space and trash. There was hardly any table space to put stuff down. There was also only one trash can that was inside the bathroom. It would've been nice to have one under the sink as well. I did appreciate the water and tea assortment provided as well as the plentiful towel and bath robe supply. read more

This was an amazing hotel. Perfect location, right in the middle of state street. It was our first time in Santa Barbara, so i was so happy that we chose the right place. Everything about the hotel was top notch. The rooms were well decorated, and design was done just right. They didn't seem to cut corners at all when it came to designing this place. And the staff were fantastic. The lady who checked us in was super nice and even remembered my name throughout our stay. It made it very intimate which i liked. I would definitely recommend it and I'll be back here again some day. read more

Really cool new hotel in the walk only section of State Street. Parking is not onsite, but a short step away from the back entrance of the hotel. This was my first experience with a completely contactless check in. I received a link to register, which included needing to scan up front and back picture of my drivers license and register a credit card for the room charge. Thereafter I received a keycode and a room number. And voila, I was able to go straight to my room. I love the concept. It's modern, but comfortable. It's ecofriendly but luxurious. The room had really fancy beautiful pour over funnel and a container for coffee (locally sourced) and box water instead of plastic water bottles. I SO appreciated the full-size pump containers for lotion, wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The only thing missing in the room was someplace to sit that was not the bed. But, since you don't really spend a lot of time in your room when you're in SB, it wasn't really a deal breaker. I learned from the manager that the hotel is built on the foundation of the original 120-year-old Hotel Barbara and still features a lot of its original raw materials. The headboards in all 44 rooms are made from the original Douglas Fir framing studs that were uncovered during construction. How cool is that, to know that you are sleeping in a room steeped in history of the city. You could tell that there was a true sense of pride of ownership from all the employees who worked there. Really great vibe. Can't wait for a reason to go back. read more

We planned to come here for Valentine's weekend but my husband was too busy watching the Super bowl .We came the weekend after. I was kind of pissed but honestly I really am happy we did come the week after because we avoided the massive Super Bowl crowd. The Drift is a brand new boutique hotel. We were honored to be one of the first guests. The only downside is that there's no parking on the street because it is blocked off in that area of State Street (not the Drift's fault). You need to park about a half a block away approximately since they don't have a parking lot. Two recommendations that I have is that maybe you can be dropped off on the corner of State and Haley which is actually a one-way street and then walk .This will shorten your distance and may work if you have children. If you have a stroller that will even be super helpful. Your spouse/driver can go park. Also, a backpack and a luggage with wheels can make it easier . We actually parked our car at their designated spot the Haley motel and we did the short walk which to us was literally across the street. The Drift does offer a discount and I believe we paid $20 a day. Even better they allow you to go in and out and that's fantastic. This location is near all the restaurants and stores. There is an outdoor mall in walking distance approximately 4 minutes away. It has a Bath and Body works ,Victoria's Secret, and many more stores. They also have a 99 cent store on the next block. So getting back to the drift hotel when we arrived we entered through the bar area. The bar is called Dusk and they also have a coffee shop called Dawn. The hotel does not have a lobby and checking in and out is contactless. They will email you a code to get into your room. When we arrived we were actually greeted by the general manager Nick Gillio. He was extremely pleasant, professional, and helpful. He gave us his cell phone number and told us to reach out to him if we had any questions/ concerns. I could tell right away that he was extremely passionate about the Drift. He even offered to help us take up our luggages but we declined and were fine. They do have elevators and stairs. We chose the elevator of course. The property itself is beautiful. The hotel itself has been renovated and brand spanking new. It's classy and upscale with an awesome vibe. Nick Gillio, recommend the mountain view room and it was beautiful. I don't remember asking for a refrigerator in our room and I do recall staying at a hotel that didn't have one. However, I was so happy that our room had one. It was perfect because I usually travel with snacks and drinks. Our room did not have a closet but it had adorable his and her's robes which is a huge plus. It also had hooks on the wall and hangers to hang up your garments. The bed was nice and comfy with great pillows that contour to your head and body . Therefore, promoting relaxing sleep. Lol! Nice pillows are life. There is a coffee pot, blow dryer, water, safe ,and a steamer for your clothing. They also have bikes that you can borrow for amazing sightseeing. All in all a wonderful experience and a special thanks to Nick Gillio for making it happen. From the moment that we arrived till our departure he was there to make sure everything went smooth. See you in the near future Drift and Nick Gillio! read more

THE WORST BED SETUP!!! Their website does not accurately portray the room labeled as Cityview cozy, my view was of a roof brick wall. The bed was literally built between two walls you have to step up on a 30" rise and walk across the mattress to get in bed... as a disabled veteran this was unacceptable however no concessions were made by Hotel staff. Be prepared to have no privacy when using the restroom or showering they use full glass partition with a curtain that does not enclose the area. It was also impossible to see the TV while in bed as they have a lamp hanging in the middle of your line of sight. read more

Worst hotel in Santa Barbara. They do not have any concierge staff or anyone to check you in. You have to "text" them. They don't have their own parking lot. They put us in a room right next to the bar that doesn't close until midnight. We had no idea about any of this until we arrived. The rooms are impossibly small and mediocre. The prices they charge are outrageous for how little service they provide. read more

Thoroughly had a phenomenal cup of coffee. I'm SURE the hotel is equally outstanding, but if you're looking for a delicious roast looking further. I enjoyed a cup of coffee with steamed oatmeal! Boom. Creamy, delicious and altogether guilt free ;-) The owner Alex clearly cares about his guests. You could tell because of his interactions with everyone. He called people by name and he was sincere. Looking forward to coming back to enjoy another cup of Java! Perhaps next time I'll venture into something a little naughty ‍ read more

Totally feel scammed. Booked through expedia and selected $247 for a Deluxe Queen with a mountain view. I DID NOT get the room that was advertised and selected. Got there and it was a tiny room. No mountain view. Tiny. No Space. The room we got was for 1 person, not 2. The shower was all glass, with no privacy to use the restroom. I paid $247 for one night for my bfs birthday present, a trip to Santa Barbara, and the room was so embarrassing to me. On the first floor, a lot of noise, window on the ceiling practically. Felt suffocated in there. They gave us wine to make up for it. Only good thing is the location. read more

Basics: -They're a new Marriott property. Booking a points reservation with them is impossible (you'll get an error on the last screen). -A points reservation was available, and I transferred points to my account to book it. -I tried making a reservation for 8/24 night, continued to get an error. Bounced back and forth from Drift to Marriott. Finally, the Drift asked me to book a points stay on ANY night and they'd move the night for me. -Marriott, with the help of the "Assist" team, helped me book a reservation for 8/25 night. -I called the Drift and spoke with Misielle (the manager). She was SO NICE, apologized for the back and forth, and moved my stay to 8/24 and upgraded me to a State Street view. (See picture) -I got a text message that night asking me to check in digitally. I did so, and said it was my anniversary, asked for recommendations, etc. Basic stuff. -The next morning (the morning of my trip), I checked my Marriott app and it said the stay was still for Sunday, the 25th. I clicked in, got the red error box, then immediately got an email saying that the reservation was canceled. -I called Drift to confirm the reservation and spoke with Shelly. She said the reservation was canceled, there's nothing she could do, and that I needed to have Marriott re-instate it. I was obviously frustrated but never personally attacking (obviously). -I then called Marriott, had them agree to reinstate the reservation and got the agent on a 3-way call with the Drift hotel. -Shelly picks up, tells me how I was talking over her earlier and frustrated. She said she called Misielle and she said how rude I was to her as well. Then she said I was no longer allowed to stay at the hotel. Their technical difficulties became my problem. Shelly was incredibly unpleasant and, considering how amazingly pleasant Misielle was the day before, I can assume that Shelly 1/ made up the story about calling Misielle 2/ called and lied her pants off about how "rude" I was. I've never been told I'm not allowed to book a stay at hotel, make a reservation at a restaurant, or otherwise barred from anything involving hospitality. EVEN TODAY it's impossible to book a points stay at this property (see picture). read more

So this hotel is adorable and the customer service (which is by text) is excellent. They are friendly and prompt. The location is stellar if you want to stay on state Street. The rooms are small so keep that in mind. But truly some amazing service here. Very friendly place. And the beach is very walkable. read more

There is no front desk or anyone to help you with your stay. They provide a number to text any needs or complaints. Unfortunately, no one responded during our stay. They provide ear plugs to help with the loud bar on the first floor. There is only one way in and out of the bed so plan on climbing over each other if there are two people. And the sink is in the bedroom (ours didn't drain right and made noises for a bit after turning off). read more

Not a chance I would stay here again. We paid quite a bit more for the 'Deluxe Queen with a City View' and knew that the room would be small but we went for it knowing the location was great. The location was the ONLY good thing about it. We were shocked when we walked into this jail cell like room. I called right away thinking they accidentally put us in the wrong room since there was barely any light and the bed didn't look queen size. The manager was nice and very responsive but confirmed we were in the room we booked and then showed us an option for a smaller room with more light but it was even tinier ‍ Their website is completely false advertising the actual rooms. If you choose to stay here there are a few things to know: - Bring really solid ear plugs, it's incredibly loud at night given the bars/club next door. They supply some but they weren't comfortable to sleep in. - Ladies - it's impossible to wash your face in the sink. The spout comes so far out you can't get anywhere near it and water goes everywhere ‍ - It's also impossible to do makeup in these rooms with the lighting so bring a compact mirror to do it near the window. - There is absolutely no privacy and it's a very intimate space. - Theres a lack of hanging space for clothes/towels. There are a few pegs on the wall but no closet so just fyi. read more

Drift Santa Barbara - "Deluxe Queen with a City View" - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Do not stay here! Super cute boutique hotel but if you want a good nights sleep, good luck. The bars don't sleep and play rave, loud bass music starting at 10p til after midnight (and it's a Thursday, btw). Second time staying here and we didn't experience this the first time. We paid $498 for the basic, smallest, no view room, in which the tv and shade over the door didn't work. There is no "human" onsite so no one can help. So overpriced and really disappointing. Now we know....and will for sure not be back. read more

Very average hotel, but the location makes up for it. I'm a bit picky when it comes to hotels, especially when I'm traveling alone (which was the case here). To start off, the check in was very confusing. The hotel, coffee shop, and bar are all connected, so you need to check in at the coffee shop. I don't realize that at first, so I spent a few minutes wandering around outside before one of the workers stopped me and asked if I was checking in. The room was ready about an hour early, which was convenient. The rooms also have codes to get in, so you don't have to worry about carrying around a key card. The room was extremely small, which I did not expect. There really wasn't much room to walk around, and I almost felt a bit claustrophobic. The walls are also paper thin, so you can hear every little thing outside your room. It is right in the middle of the downtown area though, which is a huge bonus. It was my first time visiting Santa Barbara, so it was a great location because I was near all the places I wanted to go to. It's also about a 15ish min walk to the beach. Like I said, this is a very average hotel, but I probably wouldn't stay here again. read more

This is the smallest room I've ever seen. Staff is absolutely amazing. I will say the room is very clean and it has a wonderful bar down stairs. Met several charming individuals at the bar.

Drift Santa Barbara - No desk, no chair and small room not big enough for a midget. OMG it's the smallest room I have ever seen! - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

The trip started with some hiccups but management was accommodating & able to get us into the room we booked. Parking: because the hotel is on State street, it is pedestrian only, therefore we had to park in a lot down the street around the corner. FYIs for your stay: There's no ability to valet. There's no ability to drop your bags off at the front and then go park. There's no bellman assistance. We learned that there is a city lot that has back building access, so I would recommend spending a little more for convenience. Arrival: There's no lobby. We were provided the room code via email. We arrived and walked through the busy downstairs bar and up to our rooms. The code is used on the front & back doors for building security. Room: We booked a premium room. Be sure to check prior to arrival on a king or queen bed reserved. The room was spacious and really pretty. There are some minor kinks the hotel is figuring out since they are so new. read more

If I could give this less than 0 stars I would. The checking is a complete nightmare you have to re-enter all of your credit card info again after doing it on the marriott app. My god the rooms are small. The bathroom is like in the same room as the shower and your sink hangs over the bed. I've stayed in hostels I enjoyed more and for a fraction of the cost. The pictures are DECEIVING. I would have dropped dead if I had stayed here with a significant other. You legit would be going to the bathroom in the same room as your partner. read more

do not stay here! i just checked into my room and it's literally one of those weird "tiny room" spaces where the bed is up against the wall. the shower meets the toilet, the freaking towels are in the toilet room. despite the photos, i was duped!!! and the worst part?!! theres loud banging construction that the property knows about that wasn't disclosed on their website!!!! don't do it!!!! read more

If you want to spend hundreds of dollars to stay in Harry Potter's cupboard, this is the place for you. If you're staying with a friend or coworker, keep in mind they'll be able to see the shower and hear the bathroom.

The location is great, though, and might be worth it if you can stand everything else. read more

We stayed in the city view premium balcony. If this is "premium" I would hate to see the size of a regular room. Worst of all is that the queen bed is pushed against the wall making it difficult to get in and out of, especially at night. Where are we, cold war Eastern Europe? Also, absolutely no privacy for the bathroom, not even the toilet. That is not a cute modern feature. It's just plain annoying. This room might work for one person but no more. read more

Pro: seamless check in process Clear instructions. Very responsive host. Coffee from dawn is great. Location is great Cons: 1) room was tiny. I guess the pictures on the website were really well done. Definitely got me fooled. But please be warned that the other reviews by other people are accurate on the size. 2) noise. They did say noise can be expected and they offer ear plugs. The problem is. The noise is caused by loud vibrations from a more constant bass type of sound (DJ in their bar downstairs celebrating their anniversary). So even with ear plugs, you can feel and hear the noise through the walls. I was expecting loud conversation type of noise, or busy street type of noise. The noise lasted way past midnight so dont bother thinking you can just wait it out. I believe it died down around 1am. Anyway, we didnt stay the 2nd night and chose to give up and loose whatever money we paid. Going to be driving alot the next day and i need sleep so decided to cut my losses and go home. Not sure if the other hotels i see in the vicinity are just as loud but i will try them next time. read more

Possibly the coolest hotel I ever stayed at. Location is amazing, right on state street. Steps away from amazing food and entertainment. I love the design. You wouldn't expect this from looking at the exterior. I wish I could always have a modern minimalist space to live in. The room was small-ish and so was the window, but I really appreciate what they did with this space. Sufficient exterior lighting from the small window but I didn't spend all my time in the room anyway. The shower was great, the bed was very comfortable. I got a special "black friday" deal. The downstairs bar happy hour was great. very very good oysters were served and the drinks were top notch. I especially love the design of the bar area, the whole hotel is remarkable read more

Ummm. Where do I start. I was charged $305.00 for a room that had approximately 60 sf of floor space. Not kidding. The bed is jammed into the end of the jail cell so the only way one person could get out is by crawling over the other. The shower is literally in the middle of the room so the other person can watch you. The sink is located so that you can brush your teeth while sitting in bed. I've stayed in better jail cells. read more

One star is too many for this ""boo""tique" hotel. Uncaring. Overpriced. Loud. Clogged drain. Worn out bath towels....... We were told to send a text message to the hotel once we parked in the back parking lot. We stood by the door waiting. The greeter arrived all irritated, stating "I don't usually check people in back here." We stated, "This is where we were sent." She got ruder and more difficult as time went on. There is a 3rd party relationship between the Marriott and this ""Boo""tique" chain. BUYERS beware. Marriott pushed me in this direction - wasting over 1200.00 for one room, and 120K points (BTW that equals 120,000.00 in exchange). One manager tried to make good, but it involved moving 3 times in one room and 2 times in the other. Marriott told me to contact the hotel to request my points get reinstated, but no return call. So unprofessional, discourteous, and outlandish. Do NOT stay here. And, do not believe Marriott when they suggest a property. Do your homework. read more
