My stay at Moxy Santa Barbara was truly enjoyable. The rooms were compact but cozy, and I loved having access to the pool and patio area for lounging. Although there was some road noise from the nearby highway, it didn't significantly affect my experience. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, allowing for great interactions with fellow guests.

My stay at Moxy Santa Barbara was a mixed bag. While the location is great, with easy access to restaurants and bars, my room was surprisingly tiny with an awkward bathroom layout. I also encountered some issues with noise and parking fees that weren't clearly mentioned upfront.

I found the room to be extremely small, even compared to hotel rooms I've stayed in Manhattan. There was no space for my luggage, and the bathroom design was frustrating, making it difficult to shower without getting water everywhere.
Service

I didn't find customer service to be very helpful during my stay. The staff seemed untrained to handle issues, and the front desk was often unattended.

I was surprised to find out that parking costs an extra $20 a night. It wasn't clearly advertised at the time of booking, which added to my frustration.

My stay at Moxy Santa Barbara had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and downtown. However, the room's compact nature left something to be desired, and I was surprised by several hidden fees, making the overall stay feel a bit overpriced. The service was friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made for a pleasant experience, though I did find the noise levels disruptive at times.

I had a fantastic stay at Moxy Santa Barbara, thanks to its prime location and friendly staff. The room was comfortable, with fun decor and thoughtful amenities. However, a bit of noise from the nearby highway could be an issue if you're sensitive to sound. Overall, a great place to explore the area.

The room was small but functional, with an incredibly comfortable bed. I appreciated the little touches like extra plugs and lights. However, the bathroom felt compact and the pull-out loft bed directly above was a unique experience, though it may not suit everyone's taste.

Moxy is located within walking distance to beaches and downtown, which I found perfect. It’s close to restaurants, bars, and tasting rooms, making it easy to explore the vibrant local scene. Just be prepared for the noise from the highway.

While the hotel offered free bike rentals for exploring, the pool area was quite noisy and not very relaxing. On-site parking is available, but it does add to the overall cost.
