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 - 10.0

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 2,195 reviewsLovely hotel just a short walk from the beach in Santa Barbara. Quiet area with lots of parking available outside. Friendly staff. Clean, spacious rooms. Liked the clothes steamer provided. Didn’t eat in the hotel as lots of good restaurants within walking distance. The main shopping area of Santa Barbara is no distance away. No need to drive as you can walk everywhere. Would highly recommend and would stay again.Guest review byMartinaIreland
- From $191.26 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.4Good - What previous guests thought, 1,243 reviewsI would like to start with the positives of this hotel — the absolute highlight is its location. It is right on the oceanfront, with stunning views, and it is conveniently close to downtown Santa Barbara and the pier. The staff was also very friendly and called to confirm our arrival time, which made the check-in process quick and pleasant.Guest review byKaterynaUnited States
