    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.

    The staff were very friendly helping us out with early check in. We hired bikes from the hotel for free and loved the freshly baked cookies that they put out in the afternoon. An easy walk to the Santa Barbara beach front. Would definitely recommend.
