What Guests Said About Santa Barbara:
-
Santa Barbara is a great destination.
Santa Barbara is a great destination. Downtown is very walkable. There are good restaurants and many cultural attractions. Also it's physically beautiful with great weather. If you have time it's worth going to the Santa Ynez valley as it's very different from being in the City.

Charming little town with lots of eating spots, recreational activities and outdoor sports when the sunshine is out. Ate at the Scarlet Begonia for brunch. Was exquisite. During x-mas holidays, a lot of places were closed. We were disappointed when it came to having late dinner or drink.

The are many shops, restaurants, bars and brew places so it can be a fun spot for anyone with an adventurous palate. The beaches are clean and rental bikes are everywhere. Be mindful it or a small and busy town so drinking and parking can get frustrating. Using Uber or bike rental is some sort of definitely the way to go! We ate on the beachfront near state Street at the Santa Barbara FishHouse and all their ceviche was delicious. Onion rings were really good too, but on the great side. We also had several of their specialty cocktails, non disappointed. We then went to Cubaneo which is a few blocks away on State street. Again, very tasty specialty drinks and outstanding Cuban food!

Our reason for travel to Santa Barbara was to share in the wedding of a great niece. We had a lovely time with old and new family!! The hotel restaurant is a bit pricey but convenient. Our favorite spot was the wharf and the choices of restaurants there. But; we longed for a city tour by a knowledgeable guide. A tour of the foothills and more. We completed our stay by sharing in cab experience with Liberty Cab and the Gold Cab. Both are lovely.

Santa Barbara is absolutely gorgeous.
Santa Barbara is absolutely gorgeous. The only thing I would say is that I felt unsafe at night, as there are many drug addicts wandering the streets after dark. The boardwalk was okay as the sun was setting though. We ate at Finneys Crafthouse and kitchen, would definitely recommend that place! Huge variety of foods, beer, and accommodating for kids. During the day we enjoyed walking the beach and going to Moxi children’s museum.

The room was spacious and quiet. Very comfortable king size bed with nice bedding and pillows. Room had mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Nice Quality soap, lotion, shampoo & conditioner. Small hairdryer. Plenty of parking. This is not an upscale hotel but it is very affordable by Santa Barbara standards. Location close to plenty of restaurants on Upper State St. It was fine for our one night stay as were traveling through the area. Short drive to the waterfront activities including beach, Wharf, marina and Funk Zone
Susan United States of America -
From $207.90 per night
This is a newly refurbished motel style hotel on two levels. The rooms are spacious with modern shelving, worktops etc to store your kit. Comfortable bed, good bathroom, big tv, wi-fi, parking everything you could want. Nice, helpful staff, light breakfast and parking available. Good location downtown but quiet room. Joe's cafe (rather more than a cafe) nearby and obvious Santa Barbara institution with excellent menus and coffee. Good bar. (The other nearby restaurants were somewhat indifferent).
UK Turkey Trotter United States of America -

From the moment we got out of our car we had great experiences with all of the staff. They were incredibly nice and did a great job of informing us of the property and available services. The room was clean, well maintained, and all of the finishes and linens were modern and luxurious. The on-site restaurants were delicious and so convenient, and their in-room service was just as great. The location is superb, making your stay in Downtown Santa Barbara completely walkable.

Kimpton Goodland, an IHG Hotel
Goleta, Santa Barbara
From $179.10 per nightThe staff was very unaccommodating. We were expecting the Hotel Milo thats what I believed I booked when my reservation was suddenly moved to this hotel. the rooms were awful, facing parking lot. The manager was well aware we were "switched and baited" thinking we were reserving hotel Milo in Santa Barbara instead we are uncharged $400 a night for Goodland which was a dumpy hotel in Goleta

What a beautiful hotel! Brand new and keeping with the Mission style of Santa Barbara. Very well executed with quality materials. Most comfortable beds ever. But what truly sets the place apart is the hospitality being offered. The manager Harry went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic. Highly recommended!
Dominic United States of America -

The room we stayed in had a cute little patio with access to the courtyard. That night we were able to sit in the courtyard by the fire pit and enjoy the evening. The hotel also has a lovely Spanish mission style lobby. A great place to stay to be near UCSB or a jumping off point to Santa Barbara.
