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.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in.
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.Guest review byJan PschakUnited States - 10.0

Everything there was beautiful and wonderful to see, all the shops were fantastic. The food was great everything was so close together ,you didn't need a car you just walk around. We all had a fantastic time! It was amazing. I definitely want to go back as soon as I can I wish I could live there.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States

- From US$454.86 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,975 reviewsWhat an absolute gem of a hotel - perfect positioned for both the beach and for enjoying State Street, the hub of Santa Barbara. Check in was easy and Ben, who was on the desk went over and above explaining the hotel and especially the area of SB. The room was really clean, VERY comfortable and well appointed - with GREAT coffee too. Free bike hire was an added bonus, as was the pool area, the fire pit - to be honest it was perfect!Guest review byPhilip1960United Kingdom

The location is unbeatable as it's right by the beach and within walking distance to all the most popular spots in Santa Barbara. The hotel itself is stylish, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved the firepits in the evening with a view of the ocean!!Guest review byJennieUnited Kingdom

Air con unit is next to 1 bed so either get a cold arse in the night with air con on or hot room without air con. WiFi worked at the end of the corridor. But wouldn't work in the middle. Pool clean. Bed clean. Bathroom clean. Strange western saloon doors to the toilet.Guest review byMatthewUnited Kingdom
