Top hotels in Coast Village
Hotel Santa Barbara
Very nicely remodeled & refurbished old hotel. Great location on State Street - lots of restaurants, bars, and interesting shops. Walking distance to wharf & some historical sites. Hotel could use some sheer shades on windows. Only choice was "no shades/windows totally uncovered," or black out shades ...

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara
The grounds were wonderful and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony overlooking the pond. The room was very nice with all of the amenities. The bathroom was clean but dated. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely go back!

The Milo
The property was renovated but still an aged property. It was as ok but not worth the price for the stay.
