Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 1 night, reasonably priced and the room looked recently remodeled. Definitely will be back."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic little hotel in a nice area. Minutes from everything in Santa Barbara. Staff were all nice and our room looked like a little apartment with a kitchen and fridge. Very helpful for leftovers from dinner out! The grounds were so beautiful! The breakfast was great too. They had egg frittatas, out meal, cereal, yogurt parfaits and pastries. Coffee and tea. We ate inside but lots of people ate on the patio outside the lobby which was really nice. I highly recommended this hotel."
