Lemon Tree Inn ★★★
"Room was clean - free parking."
Lavender Inn by the Sea ★★★
"This was my second stay, and it was excellent. The beach is just a short walk away. We arrived very early, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They helped us store our luggage, showed us how to borrow bicycles, and when we returned to check in, our luggage had already been brought to our room on the second floor. They also helped us store our luggage when we left and carried it with us. It was wonderful. I will definitely stay here again."
Sandpiper Lodge - Santa Barbara ★★
"Simple hotel and simple breakfast, not bad."
Oasis Inn and Suites ★★
"In downtown, there is a Gelson’s supermarket opposite. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but the rooms are relatively large and have been partially renovated."
Avania Inn of Santa Barbara ★★
"Santa Barbara is beautiful, but this accommodation experience is really bad! The hotel room is very small compared to other hotels on Highway 1. The balcony room we chose was assigned to the side of the road, which has noise problems. The dining area for breakfast is very small and crowded. The worst experience is that I was asked to pay the room fee by credit card after the arrival. I repeatedly confirmed when the previous guarantee reservation would be released. The staff told me that the guarantee would be released 1-2 days after leaving the hotel, but I actually left the hotel on October 2nd. The guarantee had not been released when I posted the review. During this period, I consulted Ctrip's online customer service twice, and five people answered it before and after, but the problem was not solved at all. It took more than an hour each time, and I also answered domestic calls and spent phone bills. The guarantee has not been released yet (no other hotels on this trip had this problem, and the guarantee was released on the day of departure). A so-called complaint appeasement online customer service of Ctrip was even more inexplicable. In the second communication, not only did he not solve the problem, but he also offended me with very impolite words, which made me very unhappy! In short, the accommodation experience of this hotel is very bad"
The Upham Hotel ★★★★
"Very nice hotel, there is a retro feeling, I like it very much!"
Casa Iglesia ★★★★
"Casa Iglesia was absolutely wonderful! It was such a peaceful getaway. A few of my favorite highlights were the perfectly heated toilet seats and the gorgeous atrium—every morning, I’d grab a breakfast burrito from The Daily Grind around the corner, make a cup of Nespresso, and just hang out there enjoying the incredible vibes. I would definitely stay here again!"
Town and Country Inn ★★
"Nice and clean hotel. Bed was comfortable. Staff are accomodating."
Riviera Beach House ★★★
"The whole external environment is very good and parking is convenient"

Brisas Del Mar Inn at the Beach
"Overall good, but the facilities are old"
Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach
"Across the road is the beach. It's estimated to be worth a thousand, or the house price of more than two thousand is not worth it. It's so small that I can't turn around, and it's hard to walk with two boxes in it. I guess Santa Barbara is relatively niche. Many accommodations are co-operated with Ctrip. In fact, the prices are not expensive and the appearance is better."
Hotel Californian
"The hotel is expensive, but the room is small, has no bathtub, and has no sea view. Most of the money is spent on the location and exquisite decoration. Hotel parking also costs money, and none of the services are provided for free, so a hotel that costs 7,700 to 8,000 or 8,000 per night is really not cost-effective. Of course, it also has a sense of history and design. It is true that many rich people live there, but if you want to truly enjoy the feeling of being rich, you'd better book a room for more than 10,000 yuan a night, otherwise you will regret throwing money away like me. Inside. Don't say that I am poor and have not seen the world. I moved out and lived in downtown Santa Barbara, LA and other places. There is no harm in not comparing. I can only say that you can stay here if you don’t mind the money. After all, it’s a luxury hotel and you won’t feel uncomfortable. But your little money can’t buy you elegance. Just don’t be fooled by Xiaohongshu’s sales like me."
Castillo Inn at the Beach
"Suitable for one night's stay. The room wasn't very well-ventilated and had a slight odor. The space was quite small, with limited room to move around. The bedding was okay; I liked that the bed wasn't too soft."
Harbor View Inn
"The hotel room is clean, the location is great, facing the Pacific Ocean, 8 minutes walk is the train station, very close to the lively commercial street, the end of the plank road tastes the fragrant bread cheese soup"
Mason Beach Inn
"The location is great. Highly recommended."
Inn at East Beach
"Good location."
The Franciscan Hotel
"First, the downsides: the placement of the power outlets was rather impractical 🙂 But the room was cozy and comfortable, and although we didn't have breakfast, it looked delicious. Overall, it was quite nice, and it's also very close to Stearns Wharf, making it a good place to take a walk in the morning or evening."
Hotel Milo
"Nice surroundings, average facilities"
Villa Rosa Inn
"Very characteristic seaside resort villa hotel. The decor is full of Spanish home character, and the corridors and front desk are filled with various antiquities from the director’s collection, including tea sets, books, and ornaments. Across the road from the sea, you can find several restaurants within five minutes."
Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
"The hotel is close to the beach. The sea is beautiful. Seagulls fly at sunrise and sunset. The hotel is average and relatively old. The non-sea view room that costs 300 dollars a night looks like a railway. The sound of the train passing by is too loud. The stay experience is not good and the price/performance ratio is low. . It is recommended that if you need to stay in this hotel, you must book a sea view room, which may make your stay more comfortable."
Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
"The hotel boasts a prime location, just across the road from East Beach. The views are truly breathtaking! The service was exceptionally attentive and thoughtful, and valet parking is available. Just a heads-up: while valet parking is charged, you can also opt for free street parking nearby."
ITH Santa Barbara Beach Hostel
"Very good youth hostel, rich activities and good atmosphere. About 6 minutes walk from the beach. A lady took me to the beach for yoga in the morning. A public kitchen is provided, and eggs and noodles are provided for breakfast, which can be made by yourself."
The Eagle Inn
"Although the room is not big, it has all the necessary facilities and the furniture are all old items with a sense of history. The B&B is very close to the beach and the neighborhood is very quiet. It is wonderful to take a walk in the early morning."
Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
"The air conditioner in the room was too noisy and I couldn't sleep at all. I turned it off and the quilt was too thin. A very bad experience! But the whole town is worth visiting"
Casa Del Mar Inn
"convenient location lovely grounds. inside is rather spartan and the mattress was too soft for our likening. breakfast pastries were tasty overall for the price point services location and cleanliness we were pleased."
