    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.

    The motel room I used was very clean and quiet. I slept very well as the large bed was very comfortable. The bathroom especially the shower were very good with no major issues. The room was well heated. The location was very good as it was within walking distance of Mission Santa Barbara in a very nice area. There was a bus stop right outside the motel so one could easily reach downtown. Both the man and woman I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

    Our stay at the Bath Street Inn was delightful and full of charm! The breakfast and late afternoon cookies and refreshments were delicious, the room was clean and perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Location was close proximity to downtown State St and located in a quaint residential area (easy 5 min bike ride to the downtown; bikes located around the corner next to bus stop).

    Delightful 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.
