We spent two nights at the Parkside Inn. They are pet friendly, which was a plus as we were traveling with a tiny dog. Hyatt owns and manages this property, but it hardly lives up to the Hyatt standards. The property is on a side street, across from a sketchy park. Parking was not adequate for the number of units;...

Great place great breakfast great price! Def One of the better hotels. More

I agree with the reviewer below who says the one-star reviews for this place aren't justified. What you have at the Parkside is a humble but perfectly OK place that's fine if you need an affordable place to stay in a good location. Our check-in, around the corner at the more upscale Hotel Mira Monte, was quick and totally pleasant.... More

It looks terrible on streetview and combined with the negative reviews on this website I was worried. I had booked into it for 7 nights it because it was by far the cheapest in the area and I knew I wasn't going to be spending much time at the hotel. When I arrived and checked in at the extremely nice... More

This little gem of a hotel was a bit difficult to find and check in was at their sister hotel was a bit down the street, but once that hurdle was cleared the place was wonderful. It is an older hotel tucked between a park and the ocean. The room was clean and we felt safe. From this location you... More

Reasonable value for Santa Barbara ($150/night) although a little unusual in that check-in and facilities (pool, restaurants) are a block away at a separate hotel (the more expensive Mar Monte). Other than this it's a nice place, a couple of blocks from the beach and across a small park from the zoo. It is quite a long walk from downtown... More

The curtain had a large coffee? stain on it, the bathtub had a black stain, prob. mildew, on the bottom. I would not have taken a bath in the tub. We were unaware that we were not getting a handicapped room until we got there though my husband had requested it on the internet. As soon as we walked into... More

Back in 08/29/08 my daughter and I made a reservation through the Hotels.com/ Ian Travel Services @ this hotel. The pictures were beautiful in the web site. Once we checked in @ the Big Hotel and got the key for the room, we found out the room was far from the hotel, not next to the hotel as they tell... More
