Service was best in class. Grounds and facilities in perfect condition. Little bit out from downtown SB but convenient to wine country. The tar on the beach did not impact us at all. Never actually saw it but did find some on feet.

Very steep rocky entry to beach (I hurt myself climbing back up) and not enough signage to know you have returned to property entrance. Very odd. Marijuana smell from the outside walkway of my room in 17 block in the evening. Room service selection very limited compared to other high caliber hotels. Gift shop very limited sundries. Staff all around mostly all very pleasant.

This property was okay, a little older than I expected it to be, the showers and the room needed a bit of TLC. The proerty grounds were pretty though along with the pool. The service was great, friendly staff, i would stay here again but for the price, the rooms need some renovation.

the property was great. However, the place left me with a very bad impression, when I checked out I realized i left 2 pair of shoes in the closet. I called security, They never called me back. THen they called me several days later. Asked me about the value of the shoes , ($250) and said i would be compensated and they would call me back. THen Brentton from Marriot called me, said they did " an investigation" and would not reimburse me! What investigation was done?? clearly the shoes were taken by the maid(s), and he was rather rude, not helpful. I thought that the Ritz was all about enhancing experience, well unfortunately they failed!
