A bit of a rip off
We chose the Fess Parker (DoubleTree by Hilton) in Santa Barabara because of its lovely location near the sea. We know that Santa Barbara is expensive but so is Monterey, where we have just been and tayed at the fabulous Intercontinental Clement Hotel there. At Monterey we had a suite overlooking the bay with the most attentive service imaginable in unashamed luxury. Here in the Fess Parker at Santa Barbara, we paid the exact same amount per night for an ordinary doublew room with a sea view. The standard of the room was really lacking. The bathroom needs modernising, the shower fixture was from the dark ages and the grouting was grey and dirty from years of being there. Yes, the view was spendid and it was a good size but we feel for the amount we were paying for the privilege of staying in Santa Barbara was outrageous for the quality of the room.

Long in the Tooth
Other than being across from ocean, this hotel is trading on a decades old reputation. Charging $19 for parking on top of the room rate just doesn't cut it today. They do takes pets and that's a point in their favor. But the room and hotel accommodations are very dated.

It was AOK
We spent a night here as part of our tour around California, unfortunately it coincided with the Tour of California cycle race that arrived at the hotel the same time we did. Because of the bike race, the traffic around the hotel was completely grid-locked and after a 11 hr flight from the UK, 90 minutes to get through US border control and then 3 hr drive to Santa Barbara from LA due to the traffic, to then take another hour to get close to the hotel and get in to the full parking lot perhaps we were not in the best of spirits when we arrived. It would have been nice if the hotel had placed something on their website advising potential traffic issues as well as the fact the hotel would be completely over run with the bike race competitors and organizers. We would have chosen to stay else where just so we had an enjoyable 1st night of our vacation.the room we were given was pretty big, and well appointed, the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom again was sizable with a very nice shower and Spa bath. One area of concern was no matter what light switch we found on the walls, we could not light the entrance way to the room, not normally an issue, but with the layout of the room, we did walk in to some of the furniture a few times.We ate and drank in the hotel bar, we found the food to be of good quality and the selection of drinks very nice. Our server was very friendly and gave us good service. Breakfast was a different matter, i do find it incredible that even though you are given free of charge breakfast vouchers for a buffet breakfast that the serving staff still expect a large tip for doing nothing than bringing a glass of OJ to the table, especially in this case, our server hardly acknowledged us, when asked a question we got 'grunts' in response. Overall i did like this hotel for a 1 night stay, it didn't appear to be anything special, but after such a long day travelling, perhaps we were not as objective as we could be.

Disappointing
The only good thing I can say about this hotel is, it has a great location in Santa Barbara. Overall I found the hotel dirty and the staff dis-interested. I travel frequently for business and this Hotel was way below Hilton's quality level.

Old, tired, furniture last updated when Fess played Davie
I was shocked by the room. The upholstery was not only dated but it was frayed and dirty - the furniture matched the rug. The bathroom was 1960's at best. I waited outside our room for another couple that was staying there and when I looked up at the hallway light.... the cobwebs were the best thing I saw as the hall light were filthy. The location was great, the grounds are okay - trains run frequently and loudly thru the back of the property where many rooms face. I was shocked that this was a Hilton. Never again. The place was crowded - have to think it was location, location, location.
