• Chumash Casino Resort Hotel
  "NICE"
  "Updated room. nice bedding and shower. tv was new. staff was attentive. in the evening the staff would go around and offer snacks. they do offer alochol now in the rooms fridge, at a reasonable cost, as well as in the buffett the only potential cons to this place is that the pool doesnt get ve..."ry much sun, and the cell phone reception is very bad in the room. i would get limited service over where the valet pick up is at, but aside from that it is non existent in all other areas of the hotel. i have att as my carrier. with sprint, the service was a little better. i would definitely recommend this hotel " More >

  "It couldn't have been any better"
  "The For Friends Inn says you come as guests and leave at friends. That's the truth. The rooms were perfect (large and well appointed). The location in the Santa Barbara Wine Country was very convenient to get to the vineyards, restaurants etc. (I did the half marathon there and was within a block..." of the start line). The owners (Jim and Debbie) are wonderful people. They bend over backwards to help you find what ever you are looking for (restaurants, horseback riding, wine tasting) and make suggestions. The breakfast is 3 courses of yummy. Debbie makes her own fabulous granola. Happy hour is lovely. It is so gorgeous and peaceful there. You can really relax. And finally, there is Smitty, the golden doodle doggie with a personality that finishes the perfect package. Didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back! " More >

Because we were coming straight from the commencement ceremony, we we..."re very delayed on our departure. Check-in at the Inn is supposed to end by 6pm. We had already emailed that we would be a couple of hours later than that, but we didn't get out of LA until 7:30! Jim was very understanding when we called with our new ETA. When I asked if any restaurants would still be open for dinner when we arrived around 10 he said not to worry, there are several options. Well, not only did he and Debbie meet us at the Inn to check us in and show us our rooms, but he had called a nearby Italian restaurant (SY Kitchen) to have them reserve a table and keep the kitchen open! Sure enough, the host at the restaurant was eagerly awaiting our arrival and we had an amazing meal. ... " More >
