For reasons out of our control we checked in very late and the front desk was so very accommodating, which is just what we needed at the end of the travelling day. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved the location and quietness of the neighborhood. We also had breakfast in the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely book this hotel.

The beaches are wonderful, even in November!
The beaches are wonderful, even in November! Some of the beaches have more seaweed on them than others, and the ones with more will have a lot of flies; they're less ideal for sunbathing. There are so many exquisite restaurants, bars, and clubs. There is something for everyone, and they all tend to be near each other for those who like short walks.Villa - 6.0
Santa Barbara is a crowded, difficult city to get around in.
Santa Barbara is a crowded, difficult city to get around in. Parking is problematic and there's no real 'heart' any more. State St. is a jumble of restaurants, empty store fronts, tourist junk and bars. The so-called 'Funk' part of town is an expensive place to drink with no real character. Just a half-hour south is a more interesting city to visit, Ventura. - 10

Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful towns in the world. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and the beaches are great. There is also an interesting Mission, and the opportunity for sailing.RRobert SchladaleUnited States - 10
Santa Barbara is a gorgeous place.
Santa Barbara is a gorgeous place. Thanks to Booking.com, we found a fantastic hotel that checked all of our boxes and left us room in our budget for lavish dining and spa day. My recommendation for visitors is be prepared to spoil yourself and spend. There are many romantic places to go in the hills and along the coast. For activity seekers, Santa Barbara has a lot of recreation options. For history buffs, there are fine museums. But, be prepared to spend money to get the luxurious and glamorous experience that makes Santa Barbara and Montecito the northern enclave of the Hollywood rich and famous.EileenUnited States - 10
Santa Barbara is beautiful, and a bit weird.
Santa Barbara is beautiful, and a bit weird. It even smells good there! There are numerous small parks, much greenery, beautiful homes, lots of restaurants, and of course, the beach. Beware - many one-way streets, and the main street is closed to traffic for several blocks. But still, it's pretty much paradise.

It is a must to visit their museum.
It is a must to visit their museum. It had a great variety of interesting exhibits, art, an outdoor full scale dinosaur experience and a butterfly pavilion. Eat at Joe's for the best pancakes!!! The Fish House restaurant was excellent. It is like maybe visiting another country when visiting Santa Barbara.llUnited States

- From £146.26 per night7.9Good · 557 reviewsI stayed at this hotel last trip to Santa Barbara and came back because of the location, value, and comfortable stay. More Mesa is a fantastic place to run in the morning. The staff were nice and trying their best within Covid precautions (and dealing with lots of complaining about the precautions). The lagoon area is beautiful and it was fun watching the ducks, crane, and bunny! I guess sitting out here for wifi was worth it.JulieUnited States
- From £272.21 per night8.9Fabulous · 605 reviewsOn our 15 day road trip, we stayed at 10 different accommodations. This is by far our favorite and we stayed at some very nice hotels along the way. Room was spacious and well decorated. Bed was comfortable and the balcony was very nice. The location was amazing and we loved being able to cross the street and be on the beach. Staff here was very friendly. We will absolutely stay here again if we are ever back in the area!KellyUnited States
- From £180.85 per night8.7Fabulous · 1,238 reviewsExcellent hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. Our room was big and sparkling clean, everything new and posh. The room is well equipped with fridge, microwave, kettle, cups, glasses. It even had two TVs. The only thing to add maybe (as the ladies would appreciate it) is a full size mirror. Nice wood/tiled floors. Easy walk to the beach and to restaurants/shops. The complimentary fruit/cookies/coffee in the lobby is a bonus.
AGCanada - From £244.87 per night7.8Good · 2,986 reviewsA really great location - only a few steps away from Santa Barbara Pier. Great rooms - although we had to check that our kid got the sofa bed as booked. Was done within 5 minutes. Pool area was superb and well attended. One of the best complementary breakfasts we had on the whole trip What a pitty we only had 1 night for staying there planned in our round trip
DanielaAustria - From £162.79 per night8.1Very good · 1,786 reviewsThis was the best stay I’ve had in this entire area and I’ve been visiting regularly for the past four years. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. I loved the retro remodel! Facilities were clean, well maintained, and there was ample parking in an actual lot! This will definitely be my new go-to place on the Eastside of Santa Barbara.
