Casa Riviera, a ZenStay Hotel

Casa Riviera, a ZenStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I really liked the fact that it was very clean an updated. The view from our room out to the mountains was beautiful both morning and night. The location of the room was perfect. It was close enough to the nightlife, restaurants, and morning breakfast spots, well also maintaining privacy. Although the walks were approximately half a mile to a little over a mile to each, we enjoyed our time walking through with a beautiful, and clean neighborhoods of Santa Barbara. The staff was readily available whenever we had a question, although we did not have many as they were pretty clear and providing instructions from the beginning."
