    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.

    Perfect. Personnel, infrastrature, facilities and location are very good. We had a wonderful experience in our stay in La Playa Inn. We were in a road trip on the Hwy 1 route, and this hotel was one of the best experience during our journey. Very well located near to the pier and the turistic center. Congratulations.

    I liked this hotel. The city of Santa Barbara is such a delight and this hotel was in a central location on State Street, around 5-10 mins walk from the main drag. It’s not a cheap city to stay in and I was impressed with the value of this place. Friendly staff and a clean room with all that you’d need.
