Best Hotels in Montecito

1. The environment is nothing to say. One of the best luxury hotels in California. The facilities in the room are very good, especially the service! This is rare in the beautiful country. But the smell of money is everywhere. The house price is so high, and it costs 75 knives to park. Distressed! 2. The children's pool is great! Constant temperature, water depth can also be. It's not the kind of paddling pool that babies play in. 3. The scenery of the beach is slightly poor, especially the moldy sun umbrellas, I really can't help complaining. 4. When I checked in, I was given an ice cream coupon, but it turned out that it could only be redeemed from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, so I missed it perfectly. As a result, my son was hurt! 5. The question of tipping is confusing. The first bell boy told us to tip, the second bell boy told us not to tip at all. So, we didn't know whether to pay or not when we checked out.

We stayed in room 220. It was a family King. It was spacious and clean. We had 2 bathrooms which was cool. We each had our own bathroom. The bathrooms are small but they have everything you need. The room was pretty quiet. You could hear people only if they stood outside the door to talk which happened once during our 2 day trip. We enjoyed some drinks and appetizers at Coast and Olive ( the hotel restaurant). We also enjoyed walking to breakfast at Jeannine’s. We walked to Ca’Dario for dinner . The place is great and super friendly staff. We loved the hotel. We’ll be back.

The hotel looks very well maintained. My room had a sofa and desk along with the king size bed. Big room for a hotel. The bathroom and sink area are alittle small, but very modern and tiled. The shower was excellent. The pool and jucuzzi were crystal clear and clean. Pretty big pool with a deep end of 8 ft. The location is about 8 minute drive to downtown, but there are several restaurants within walking distance. The area seems nice, don’t let the closed hotel next door scare you away.

Hotel Indigo is a quaint boutique hotel with both modern and traditional Santa Barbara touches. Its location couldn’t be more convenient, just a half block south of the train station on State Street. It’s a short walk to the beach in one direction and downtown in the other. From the moment I stepped into the fresh, bright, modern lobby I was greeted with warm smiles. There couldn’t have been a more welcoming introduction to my stay here. The staff was consistently available, professional, and friendly, ready with a sincere greeting every time I came and went. COVID precautions are taken seriously here and it was clear a lot of thought went into guest safety and comfort. My room was on the first floor with a private patio. The room makes the most of its small size with a clean, simple, minimalistic layout. Bright white walls expand the space while beautiful wood grain flooring and exposed brick on the patio side give it a historic feel befitting its location. The TV and air conditioning unit, both wall mounted, help keep the limited space open and uncluttered. The single closet/dresser/coffeemaker unit (a Keurig!) does likewise. Still, there was plenty of workspace with a large glass-topped desk and numerous outlets. A white noise generator was a pleasant surprise although the hotel was very quiet during my stay and it wasn’t really needed. The occasional train was not a bother. The European style bathroom is quite small as expected. The adjustable handheld shower is a delight. The highlight was the patio, large and well appointed with a wicker table and two cushioned chairs, surrounded by greenery and dark woods. What a delightful setting it was for coffee in the morning and late night snacks. I look forward to returning here in a few months. This property is truly a gem.

Staffs are courteous. Facilities are well maintained. Breakfast is excellent healthy and nutritious.. Room is spacious and comfortable. Bed is large and supportive for a good night sleep and rejuvenation. Location is convenient to local restaurants and beach. Santa Barbara is only 17 minutes drive away. Many Michelin starred restaurants in Santa Barbara but suggest you to make early reservation. Carpinteria has a nice star beach and the sunset in the horizon is romantic and beautiful according to your mood.

Beware of the concealed fees with this hotel. While staying in Santa Barbara, I decided to cut my stay short due to a “atmospheric river” event. Local news indicated that this was going to be a catastrophic event. When checking out, I was told that a one-day penalty fee would be assessed for a change in the length of stay. While a member of a World of Hyatt, I diligently check for penalties related to cancelation etc. Nothing was referred as to an early checkout. You would think that with an approaching catastrophic event, the hotel personnel would have a little compassion and flexibility as to waiving the hidden change penalty. Absolutely not was the hotel’s response. Common sense verses profit margin would be appreciated from this hotel.

We stayed in room 308 (1 Bedroom Suite) the week of September 12, 2022. The hotel and room are in great condition. All of the employees that we had contact with were very nice. There was always lots of parking available in the hotel parking lot and it's very well lit. There isn't much in the immediate area of the hotel but it's perfectly safe and only a 15 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. However, the bathroom sink is in the bedroom. It's not actually inside the bathroom with the toilet and shower/tub. I personally really dislike this design because if one person is sleeping you can't use the bathroom sink without waking them up. But what's even worse about the design of the bathroom is that there isn't a single towel rack or hook anywhere near the bathroom sink or the toilet or the shower/tub or on either side of the bathroom door to hang a towel. In addition, I understand that the room that I'm assigned may not look exactly like the photos of the 1 Bedroom Suite on the hotel website but the front desk said that the 1 Bedroom Suite pictured on the hotel website (The bathroom sink is actually inside the bathroom with the toilet and the shower/tub. There are towel racks in the bathroom.) isn't available to anyone. In other words, none of the 1 Bedroom Suites actually look like the photos of the 1 Bedroom Suite on the hotel website. So we resorted to using the ”closet” rods as a towel rack for all of our bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. We also took a square freestanding storage unit from the ”closet” area and placed it next to to the shower/tub to put our towels on so we can reach for them when getting out of the shower. This room is handicap accessible but that should have absolutely nothing to do with having towel racks or not. Everyone needs towel racks whether they're in a wheelchair or not. FYI the metal bars that you see in the photos that I posted are grab bars, not towel racks. I've stayed in hotels that don't have enough towel rack but I've never stayed in a hotel that doesn't have any towel racks at all. This seems like a major design flaw. Considering that we paid $366.00/night on average, this was extremely disappointing and inconvenient.

Santa Barbara has become massively expensive, yes this is something that’s relatively new over the last three years since I’ve been going quite a lot as my godson lives there. My usual hunt was the Hilton on East Beach. Their prices have become of seen without me being able to find anything below 650 to 900 per night anymore. So, I needed a bit of a budget motel and this came in around $400 with taxes per night, maybe this is a little bit high for the time, but, it may have been because it was a special gay pride weekend. Not sure. I like to be extremely honest in these reviews and it’s no offense to the hotel. I will say that the office staff was one of the highlights because they were gentle and kind of nice. I might say that don’t come early and expect to get a room because they don’t check you in until after 3 PM. I’m not sure why they didn’t let me in because they had rooms clean at my rate, was exhausted from getting up at 4 AM to make it to California. It’s not a huge deal. There is no pool, they have a few bicycles to rent, there is free parking in the motel but I don’t think they have enough spaces for all the guest. This was a plus having free parking. No, this is a single level very budget motel. The door to the rooms open directly into a parking lot. The good thing is these rooms are extremely clean, nice bedding, comfortable pillows, tiny bathroom and closet but the bathroom was immaculate and had a nice modern tiled shower. they have a coffee maker in the room and also serve coffee in the motel little lobby. The coffee is pretty good. They have a very simple breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries and hard-boiled eggs! For me that was a big plus because I love hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. I wasn’t up to my normal physical activity, but next time I will definitely utilize the bicycles which are included with your stay. Overall, this place is a bit charming. I hope I can find a time within the next year to come back and hopefully it won’t be on some very expensive weekend. Location is excellent as everyone says half a block from the beach, West Beach and very close to State Street.

The hotel location is good, suitable for self-driving, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, the beds in the twin rooms are large enough to accommodate 2 people per bed. On the second floor, you need to carry your luggage upstairs, but it is a dozen stairs. There was a microwave oven and a coffee machine in the room. I arrived at the store late that night and heated the fast food products in the room.

A few friends and I stayed overnight at the Leta this past week and it was an incredible escape! It’s so beautiful, both the interior and exterior, and every staff member we interacted with was so kind! The feel of the hotel is so vintage and artistic, and there is no air of haughtiness or disdain that so many hotels can have. I cannot wait to do it again soon!!
