The hotel was WONDERFUL. Very peaceful and relaxing. This was my 2nd time staying at the hotel within a 3 month time span. You don't find many hotels these days that let you check out at noon. The hotel isn't far from State St. I forgot my Bose speaker in the room after check out. I received a call from the hotel telling me that I had forgotten the speaker. Many thanks to the person who cleaned the room and was honest and tuned the speaker into the front desk. I like the fact that you can pick your room on the website. Most hotels pick the room for you. All the rooms are different and unique and have their own charm.

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.

Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere.
Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere. Clean city and easy to navigate while driving but MapQuest misguided me numerous times. Excellent ethnic food restaurants. Lots of choices. I’m recommending “Meet Up” Chinese, “Your Place” Thai and “Masala Spice” Indian foods. Meet Up was first place I’ve ever been served by a robot!!!! Very cool!

Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking...
Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking mountain biking to sailing and other outdoor adventures. I would have liked to have more time to explore. Relax at the rose gardens at the mission, hike more, beach sunsets and dinner downtown. Getting around is easy. Biking is fun! I would avoid the traffic in the funk zone on Friday night. Park in a paid lot and walk in is what I recommend. Also check out the Farmer’s market downtown on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Wishing everyone a great time!
The Secret Garden Inn is truly a delight. Our charming, antique-furnished cottage was beautiful and exceptionally comfortable. The proprietress was extremely kind and warm upon our arrival; we just regret we could not partake of her home-baked croissants at breakfast the following day. The Secret Garden is very well situated in an old section of Santa Barbara between the downtown area and the Mission Church. Secure, off-the-street parking is a plus.
Excellent hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. Our room was big and sparkling clean, everything new and posh. The room is well equipped with fridge, microwave, kettle, cups, glasses. It even had two TVs. The only thing to add maybe (as the ladies would appreciate it) is a full size mirror. Nice wood/tiled floors. Easy walk to the beach and to restaurants/shops. The complimentary fruit/cookies/coffee in the lobby is a bonus.
This Motel was the best place we stayed on a 3 week trip. Its in a perfect location near the beach, marina, and the Main street of Santa Barbara. The staff were all lovely, really friendly and helpful. They put on a really lovely continental breakfast included in our stay with pastries, cereal, tea, coffee, juice and bagels!
The rooms were lovely fresh, clean and comfy. We wish we had stayed longer!
Fabulous breakfasts. Great afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine - did not need to go out to dinner really! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded without us even asking. Very close to the main street in downtown Santa Barbara - easy walking to restaurants shops and sea front. Gardens surrounding the property were very pretty and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the good weather.
This is an excellent hotel. The most spacious and well equipped on our journey in fact. Very well thought out apartment with every amenity to hand. Comfortable and homely. The reception staff were perfect. The gentleman was very nice and helpful. Wished we had booked a week and not just a night !!!
Santa Barbara is the nicest place that we found in California on our coastal trip.
Rooms were well appointed. Pool and patio area looked very nice but we didn’t use either. We only spent one night and in late and out early. We don’t get much of a chance to employ motels or hotels in Santa Barbara because we have children who have homes there but were unavailable for us to stay.
I flew into SBA late and wanted a hotel near the beach before I headed to Ojai for a workshop. A late after hours check in was offered with ease, the room was spacious and clean, and just a short walk to the beach in the morning before breakfast. I'd highly recommend.
Location is excellent, near the beach and a number of great restaurants nearby. Room service food was the best I've ever had! The rooftop pool and hottub were amazing. We spent most of our time there and loved every minute of it! Our room was spacious and very quiet.
Wonderful boutique hotel in the best location near the beach and State Street for shopping and dining. Modest breakfast is included, instant oatmeal and some muffins, and you can eat poolside. Coffee and tea were available 24/7 with afternoon cookies and that was nice.
Perfect hotel for our visit to Santa Barbara. Right on the beach and within easy walking distance to loads of food and drink places, especially the funk zone. We loved chilling out by the fire pits in the evenings. The rooms and decor are just lovely!
Excellent location near the beachfront. We loved the breakfast and how we were received by the hotel staff. We liked that we could get free bikes with the hotel for a ride around town. Excellent value for money!
very clean, excellent amenities, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. loved the fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and luxurious sheets. great location near the beach and downtown Santa Barbara.
The motel was a quick drive to the vibrant downtown area of Santa Barbara. The hotel was exactly what we needed, and affordable and comfortable space to stay over night.
Very near the beach, very quiet and secluded but walking distance to restaurants, walking path could also walk to downtown Santa Barbara. Free parking near room access.
The property is very close to the beach but not so much to downtown of Santa Barbara (by foot). A part from that it is a very quiet touristic area with a lot of hotels.
Santa Barbara is very expensive to visit. This hotel is a very good location and a good price. The room was comfortable, with parking directly outside the room.
