Everything there was beautiful and wonderful to see, all the shops were fantastic. The food was great everything was so close together ,you didn't need a car you just walk around. We all had a fantastic time! It was amazing. I definitely want to go back as soon as I can I wish I could live there.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States - 10.0

I had visited Santa Barbara in the summer of 2023 and returned now in April 2024: great vibes, good restaurants, and friendly staff. No surprise, the best experience was in the summer, but I could enjoy it a lot in April as well.Guest review byPaulo HeidrichBrazil

- From $454.86 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,946 reviewsWe LOVED it! We arrived quite late and were welcomed by super friendly staff who offered us snacks and fresh cookies and then told us all about Santa Barbara and where to go. We even got a free upgrade to a really nice big suite! Best stay on our trip to California. Also very central, it’s easy to walk around town and we felt very safe in this area.Guest review byRamonaGermany
- From $362.31 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 2,193 reviewsDelightful hotel just 2 blocks back from Santa Barbara beach, and just a short stroll into town. Rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable and there's adequate parking (needs to be booked and paid for). Staff are extremely helpful, the welcome drinks are a nice touch as is the endless supply of coffee and fresh baked cookies in the lobby.Guest review byNicholasUnited Kingdom
