But for a free Aspire night, perfectly fine, if not maximized. Hot tub was nice.
Yeah, I have an Aspire cert expiring in April...don't have any other good uses planned for it. Santa Barbara hotels always feel overpriced for what you get...even this hotel is over $400/nt for our dates. So it seems like a decent enough place to use it.
Do you recall if the pool was heated? I see both a pool and hot tub, and the website says they are open year round, but it's a little bit chilly if the pool isn't heated...
