FOUND Hotels, Santa Barbara, Series by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Found! Very quaint, clean, and very enjoyable. Free parking was surprising and always appreciated! Would definitely stay here again when coming to the Santa Barbara area!"

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"Hotel stay for 2 nights , clean older hotel . The elevator though was grimy , could tell they don’t mop or clean it inside. Room clean but only 2 towels for 4 people, just had to ask for towels. Nice pool area with plenty of chairs. Nice outside bar. Ate on patio outside the hotel restaurant - good food but not super busy and finally after 30 minutes had to flag down a waiter to take our order, even though they passed by us several times. Otherwise good price"

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, great breakfast, close to attractions, friendly staff, comfortable beds, clean rooms, updated decor!"

Orange Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went above and beyond to make my visit to Santa Barbara enjoyable."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this room 20 minutes before we arrived and what an AMAZING stay we had for such a last minute booking. Another local hotel had mistakenly canceled our reservation and we were in something of a bind as our friends were staying at this other hotel. We needed something local and this was a block away. The staff was so friendly! Our room was clean and beautiful (the color drenching was an excellent touch). Our bed was so comfortable. And the location was just perfect. Our friends were jealous and wish they had also booked here, the original hotel (the same price point) was not nearly as nice. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!"

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean, however; there was mold in the shower. The building is showing it's age. The hotel needs an update."

El Encanto Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The stay at El Encanto was great. The view from both the pool and the restaurant were awesome. The food was great as well. Had both a dinner and a breakfast there. The roasted whole chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had. It’s a bit removed from the main part of town, which some folks may view as a plus or a minus. Highly recommend."

Ocean, Sunset, Mountain Views, Private Deck: Villa Floresco: Tuscan-like Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"The unit is charming and has a deck with a beautiful view of Santa Barbara canyons. Quiet and private, and the owners were fantastic. Perfect stay for a couple!Very close to the botanic gardens and wonderful hiking trails."

Charming guest cottage in Santa Barbara with access to hiking and the beach

10/10 Excellent
