Palihouse Santa Barbara
We loved this hotel for its location, style, comfort, amenities, and the incredibly friendly staff. We will for sure be back. We loved being able to walk to so many restaurants and shops, and the complimentary bikes (with helmets) provided for a fun excursion.

Casa Jardin
Very clean room. Easy text check in and out and communication. Tesla chargers! Well-stocked! Wish there was an outdoor area and more square footage. That’s what you get for downtown Santa Barbara.

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
The location is great. The parking is $10 per day & underground. The breakfast is ok. The staff is nice. However, the showers took 20 minutes to warm up. Also it smelled like sewage when we arrived.
