Courtyard By Marriot Santa Barbara Hotel formelly called the St Remy

Got on CA 1 went up to Coast to 101 to Santa Barbara. 101 had an exit to the SB Marriot.

Marriot was fine with issues. Restaurant was an app only $15/app. We got 2 free drink coins. Found out later drinks did NOT include alcohol, who decided THAT! Pool & Hot tub. Ice only machine.

Room: bad room numbering… looked for 5 minutes to find our room. Found 170 & 172 but 171 was around the corner. No dresser drawers, lack of storage. You have to request for room service. Same towels for days?

Has safe, 65” TV with Fox. Bed is comfortable.
Hotel has parking $30/day
No continental breakfast, no bathrobes.

We located a Bodega or Mercado for us Midwesterners a small mini mart across the street from the hotel. We needed a case of water and Hydrochloric peroxide (A must have for gargling if you don’t want to get local diseases). The minimart was open at 8AM, well except when we needed it. So, we looked for a Walmart and found a two story small Target.

State street goes pass the hotel it is non-driving 3 blocks away. It’s like the Nicollet Mall in Mpls. There is a ton of close Restaurants and farmers markets. And it was mostly walking distance to downtown.

We first night ate three blocks away at a Mexican restaurant. $100 with 4 margaritas. It was very good.

We came back to the hotel and Vegg’d in the Hot Tub smiling for no major issues. We got out of LA ALIVE! Never saw a homeless person until we got to Santa Barbara then only three.
