The Broadlind Hotel is beautiful and the photos do it justice. I'd just flown in from Toronto and was looking forward to catching up with friends in LBC for a few days. Unfortunately, the potential for noise actually means that, if the bar downstairs is noisy and you are on that side, you will not be sleeping until 3 am. I am not a light sleeper and had earplugs and still couldn't sleep. There was shouting and very loud talking that sounded like a party was happening in our unit. My partner also couldn't sleep and opted to watch a movie until 3 am. Being jet-legged and starting out a vacation this way is not okay. We checked out at 10 am the next day and I sent a text beforehand, hoping that perhaps we'd be offered a room on the other side of the builidng. We were told that the noise would be elminated. I don't see how that is possible and the night before was a Sunday, so we didn't anticipate much improvement. We drove back to Santa Barbara in order to sleep. The host then told me there was no way she could cancel it. In the end, I paid over $400 for one sleepless night and another night not spent there. I received my $15 parking for the one night back and was offered a room the next time I was in LBC. It's too bad as the place has a great deal of potential, but might be better suited to being a hostel. Not the kind of place I want to spend my holiday at as a 40-something.
