"My wife and I had a delightful stay at Hotel Santa Barbara. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly, with the front desk team and valets setting a friendly tone. We particularly enjoyed our time at the lobby bar, where the bartenders were not only attentive but also genuinely engaging, making our evenings even more enjoyable. The hotel’s prime location was ideal for exploring the nearby attractions and dining options we had planned for our trip. We’re already looking forward to returning soon!"

"Room was large and great view of the ocean and marina from the balcony. Very walkable to restaurants and shopping. Tram was available but didn’t use. breakfast was good with wonderful pastries. But the best feature was the happy hour with wine and cheese and fruit around the pool. And it was free!! Got a chance to talk with other guests in pool and hot tub. Would stay there again "
