    Santa Barbara feels like a bit of paradise right here on earth. Beautiful beaches, good restaurants, interesting history, and friendly folks. The local pool (Los Banos Del Mar) is really top notch! Walkable city.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch. A fun family area as well as a large variety of adult offerings.

    Great place to visit. Lots to see and do within walking distance, plenty of bike rentals for further trips, entertainment for all ages. The Marine Center and MOXI were fun for kids and adults alike. McConnells Ice Cream is a great treat.

    We do love everything in the hotel. We had an enjoyable time and would love to come back soon! The Staff is helpful and friendly. The hotel is kept in nice style keeping what’s the best to being in Santa Barbara. The location is great. Only 2 blocks away from the beach and Main Street. You can rent and bikes for free and explore the City! The hotel serves delicious breakfast. Cold and hot water, plus tea/ coffee are available 24hrs in lobby. We recommend this place!

    The property is in a safe area of Santa Barbara and was in fact the cheapest in the area hence us booking it as we were only staying in the city for 1 night. The room was a good enough size for the two of us and fairly comfortable. Not bad for a short stay.

    Super close to the beach and a couple of cute restaurants and cafes. The staff was really nice and helpful. The hotel itself is based in a typical Santa Barbara style property.
