酒店價格不菲,但是房間不大沒有浴缸且沒有面海的景色,大部分錢都是交在這個地理位置和精緻裝修上。酒店停車也是要錢的,各項服務沒有啥免費提供的,所以七七八八算下來7、8千一晚的酒店真的沒什麼性價比可言。 當然也是有點歷史和設計感的,確實不少有錢人住,但如果想真正享受有錢人的感覺,最好得訂超過一萬一晚的房間,否則你會跟我一樣後悔錢扔水裡了。 不要説我窮酸沒見世面,我搬出去在聖巴巴拉downtown也住了,LA等其他地方都住了,沒有對比沒有傷害。衹能説不嫌錢多可以住,畢竟還是豪華酒店,不會不舒服,衹是你那點小錢買不來高貴,別跟我一樣被小紅書推銷給迷了眼就行。

Gabby (manager) and the rest of her staff did everything to make our 10th wedding anniversary something special. I truly plan on making this trip to SB and staying at Hotel Californian an annual trip. The proximity to the beach was incredible. The rooftop pool has an incredible view. I took my time selecting a hotel that would make this a special weekend. And there was definitely some concern prior to arriving that my expectations would not be met. But with Gabby’s guidance, our stay felt special and classy. I would highly recommend staying here.
