“Courtyard By Marriott Santa Barbara Downtown has a modern layout and an exposed-brick wall lobby. It's a convenient location near Paseo Nuevo shopping center, but I observed some concerning reports regarding customer service and responsiveness to Bonvoy members that might make me hesitate. While the hotel offers amenities such as an outdoor heated pool and complimentary breakfast, I would hope for more consistent service.”
