Top El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park Hotel Reviews

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"It was great & clean"

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Great little spot nestled close to the beach. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, the room was immaculately clean, and being a five-minute walk from the shore was incredibly convenient. We loved getting to borrow bikes and tour downtown, and the pool was refreshing way to cool off on a warm afternoon. Will definitely try to stay here the next time we come back!"

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Kerrigan coffee maker was not good. Coffee was weak and cold. Went downstairs for coffee and it wasn’t hot either."

Palihouse Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay for the weekend, good & service was wonderful! would definitely stay again!"

Casa Jardin, a ZenStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Californian

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful Visually Stunning to a designer’s eyes !"

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"Nice location and helpful staff."

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at La Playa Inn. Check in was super easy. Front desk gave us a map of the town, told us all the hot spots, how to get around, and recommendations. Rooms were very spacious and super comfortable. Beds/pillows very comfortable…better than many hotels I’ve stayed at. Bathroom was very clean and quite large. Amenities were great - they have a small courtyard on ground floor to hang out at along with sofas and couches on each floor. Decor felt like I was at a resort. Parking was free and a ton of spaces. Breakfast was good, plenty of single packaged breakfast items along with cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, etc. Location was literally across the street from the marina/beach. The nightlife spots were a 20min walk, not too bad and at no point did I feel unsafe walking at 10-11pm coming back from the town center or at 6am walking to the beach to catch the sunrise. The town was a very nice small beach town with incredibly friendly people. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from La Playa Inn or the town but was genuinely blown away by how nice it was. Only stayed 1 night but lowkey wish I was there longer. I highly recommend La Playa Inn and will recommend for any friends/family going to Santa Barbara in the future."

Haley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great outdoor space with games & great location to the water/downtown SB. Only downside was we had a few small ants throughout the room"
