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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,336 reviews)

Overall, the hotel feels new, although the elevator is vintage and slow. Our room was clean, and just a bit snug. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom ample and we appreciate the large amount of vanity counter space. The room and bath are well furnished with amenities. The location is excellent. We would book there again.
