Nice downtown with many shops and restaurants. Bus service Taxis are very expensive. Wish I had known I would have just rented A car to get back and forth to airport. There is uber etc. airport is newer and charming and not very crowded at 6 am on weekday morning. Felt safe walking around alone at night
Once you're in the area most things you want to do are walkable. Restaurants, shopping, pier, beach, rentals. Great hiking in the foothills. A nice lake with hiking 20 minutes away. Prefect weather! Great wines.
Fresh seafood available all along the coast. Although accommodations are pricey, moderate costs can be found for good eats. For example: Santa Barbara Shellfish Co., Brophy Bros., and lunch at The Palace( dinner is over the moon). Be aware that the twisty, winding, narrow streets through the everpresent hills(with impatient local drivers) are typical of SoCal.
I'm a Plein Air painter and travel on a dime. I find beautiful spots to paint and wander around quite thoroughly to do so. I went to the spectacular area around the Mission and then the Botanical Gardens to paint. Afterwards I drove the back streets to Montecito and had dinner at one of the restaurants tucked in the little village. Santa Barbara is
All within walking distance. Many winery tasting places in the town. Our favourite was the Deep Sea Winery on the pier. Great for shopping and eating out. Try Carlitos on State St for Mexican food. The ArtWalk is a regular Sunday market for jewellery, paintings and pictures. Everyone is friendly.
“Amazing value for Santa Barbara! Newly remodeled hotel, nice rooms, comfortable bed! Also loved the pool with a beach view and a brand new gym. Buffet breakfast included was delicious! ”
“The pool, the ease of access to many of the attractions that Santa Barbara has to offer. The hotel's staff - specifically the Valet team is by far the best thing they have going for the hotel in terms of staffing.”
“the entire operation was first-class...the best motel type facility that I've stayed in over many years of travel throughout the U.S. It's not a chain operation and I especially appreciate the non-motel style architecture which made it somewhat distinctive. The location is perfect because it's on State Street in a quiet area, but readily accessible to Santa Barbara's sites.”
“Being close to the beach however we were almost mugged by the beach on a walk and it was quite scary with the homeless at night. Need more police patrol and also night security. We saw no security at the hotel. Liked the separate living room with bed in case we brought our kids. The balcony was large and bedroom was nice but not fancy room for the price”
“This is the absolute best hotel for the money in Santa Barbara. I've tried all of the "less expensive" ones, and Sunset beats them all by a mile! Clean, updated room and bathroom; frig, microwave, iron and board, nice TV, friendly staff, extensive continental breakfast.”
