Lookout Park is a lovely spot to take a breather. Have a picnic, stroll around the grounds or just lie on the soft grass and shut your eyes for a while.

This Summerland recreation and green space is a good place to begin your day of sightseeing. There's lots to see and do in the vicinity, including Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Presidio Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara Zoo. Take your time at Lookout Park before heading to these other fine sights.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,314 reviews)

Looks like a takeover property from best western brand. The outdoor apeal may be nice but the rooms are okay. Not worth more than 2 nights of stay.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (11 reviews)

The house is absolutely beautiful- renovated to an amazing standard. The bedroom was small with no wardrobe and limited storage space. It like staying at someone’s house - so no control over the ac and no control over others coming and goings without the comforts of hotel soundproofing etc. If you were hiring the whole house it would be amazing. But it’s like a very nice Air BNB - you get a room in someone’s house. Also no human contact- my husband was convinced we were speaking to AI at all times. Also the Harbour room which we had faced the street and was very noisy.
