Lovely little hotel, very convenient to the old town, city center, Postiguet beach, and the elevator to Santa Barbara castle. Quite a few nice restaurants in easy walking distance along Calle Major. Comfortable bed and a very nice rain shower.
Two tips for other travelers. First of all, there is no check-in located within the VIL5 hotel itself. You check in (and handle all other business) at their sister hotel immediately across the street. I don't believe this was communicated in any of the information form Hotels.com. Not a big deal, but a little bit of a surprise.
Second, there's a trick to getting the AC to work well. Our first day there, we kept lowering the temperature, but it never went below 23°C. Finally I noticed that there was another button on the thermostat that let you change between fresh air (i.e., the system continually bringing new air into the room from outside) vs recirculating the air in the room. Changing to recirculate made all the difference. The room cooled down very quickly.
