Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right in the center of State Street. Pets stay FREE! Parking price is reasonable for the area. The hotel is very nice, courteous staff, and large rooms with a minifridge and a minibar and snacks for sale in the room. Good mocktails at the bar. Oh, and you can’t go wrong with the free cookies at check-in too! The only two areas that I marked down from 5 stars to 4 were for the staff taking over an hour and 3 requests to get dog bowls in my room and for the amenities (no room service, minimal food choices at the bar only, and no pool)."
