Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved staying at this hotel. It was beautiful, located in the most convenient area, the staff is beyond helpful and cheerful and the room was perfectly clean. The room overlooked State Street, which we really enjoyed. It is our new favorite In Santa Barbara and we will hopefully return often. Many great restaurants just downstairs and we walked to the beach in about 15 minutes. Great experience!"
