Best Western Plus South Coast Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Nice clean rooms. Pleasant staff. Standard plain vanilla breakfast. Access to rooms is awkward abd require going via breakfast area that has steps or from outside of the building."
Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North
8/10 Good
"Room was decent"
Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The room was cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided regularly. The breakfasts were tasty and offered a changing selection, which was a nice touch. There is also convenient parking available, a terrace where you can sit and relax, and a laundry facility — a great addition, especially for longer stays. The only downside for me was the parking fee. I always appreciate when parking is included in the room rate, so having to pay separately for each day was a little disappointing. On the second day, I also had to ask for coffee and a cup, as they had not been replenished. It would be nice if the staff paid a little more attention to these small details. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and appreciated the cleanliness, comfort, facilities, and breakfast selection."
Sandpiper Lodge
8/10 Good
"The rooms were very pleasantly configured and furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room did not get cleaned one day, but it was an error and they cleaned it as early as possible the next day. The location was convenient, so Sandpiper Lodge made a great home base."
The Franciscan Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel in Santa Barbara! It’s walking distance to the waterfront and the property is beautiful. The room was clean and well kept, the breakfast was also very tasty and had a variety of foods to choose from. Overall it was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back!"
Avania Inn of Santa Barbara
