What Guests Said About Santa Barbara:
- 10.0
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States - 10.0

I had visited Santa Barbara in the summer of 2023 and returned now in April 2024: great vibes, good restaurants, and friendly staff. No surprise, the best experience was in the summer, but I could enjoy it a lot in April as well.Guest review byPaulo HeidrichBrazil - 10.0

The city Trolley Tour was absolutely worth every dollar to experience the history with navigtion ease and thoroughness for 90 minutes. Great knowlegable guide hitting all the hotspots. Wish we'd stayed a little longer to go back and enjoy in person. Do build that part into your planning for an extra day/night. Santa Barbara is charming with lots to offer historically and bigger than we thought...easily walkable in key spots. Also research the monthly weather patterns to maximize your outdoor fun so you don't miss ANYTHING!! :)Guest review byFosterUnited States - 10.0

Didn't at all like the location of the hotel...three blocks away from the train station...you have to cross over the tracks to get to the other side on an unpaved gravel sidewalk...then the street signs are few and there are no street lights...spooky to say the least. Would never return to the hotel or that neighborhood.Guest review byCHRISTOPHERUnited States

- From $511.86 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,887 reviewsThe property is located one street back from the front and pier area of Santa Barbara. The neighborhood was quiet and parking on site was no problem. The suite booked had 2 bedrooms and a well appointed kitchen area. Coffee was on tap in the lobby area & there were fresh cookies every afternoon. The pool on site was warm. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. For the tour we did the Franciscan represented the best value inn we stayed at.Guest review byZoeUnited Kingdom
