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
Hotel was nice but I felt the bathroom floor was not clean. After removing my pants, I picked them up off the floor and they were covered in a white dust/ residue. Hotel staff were great, especially the lady doing breakfast. She made the whole stay worth it!

Sandpiper Lodge
Room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. They supply conditioning shampoo, I was disappointed there wasn't conditioner. I should have brought my own.

Chumash Casino Resort
Poolside is nice to hang out at. Unfortunately we stayed in April so the outside bar wasn't open yet. But still had a great time.
