For only being rated 3 stars, my stay was excellent. Loved the ground floor room with double doors opening onto a patio with seating for our party, which opened out into a green area/garden. Beds were quite comfy and roomy enough with a lovely, large tiled shower.

Overall had a nice quick stay. The staff was excellent and went above & beyond in finding us a downstairs room because of toddler. Bathroom needed small repair/update but would not stop me from staying here again. Thank you friendly professional front desk!

My family I had an amazing experience at Lemon Tree Inn. The staff was very friendly. The young lady at the front desk gave us a room right across from the pool. It was perfect for my 4 year old. We could walk a few steps and jump in to the pool. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The staff helped us on a last minute cancellation due to some of our family members inability to travel due to the hurricane in Kauai. We are so very thankful and grateful for their understanding and compassion through this difficult time for our family! The location of the hotel was great! The only thing is that our shower curtain smelled like it wasn't washed :(

Verified review

8/10 Very good

We stayed in Room 335 and it was great. The room was clean and large. The beds were comfortable. The TV and AC both worked and so did the fridge. I liked the walk-in shower. We had a nice enclosed balcony that overlooked the pool and garden. We weren't impressed with the Crocodile Restaurant. The food was overpriced and the staff seemed disinterested. A beer and a cocktail cost $30.00! I would stay here again, but would eat elsewhere.

The Lemon Tree Inn was a perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara-close to everything but wonderfully quiet. It has a beautiful pool, excellent staff, very comfortable rooms. We will definitely come back here again!

Being able to dine at the Crocodile and sit indoors or outdoors is wonderful & so convenient. We enjoyed our meal & cocktails by the fire pit very much. The location is scenic & quiet. We stay here often & find it worthwhile in many ways.

Lovely hotel amd we had a good couple of days in Santa Barbara. Thanks.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was a double, it was very spacious. Clean. The sheets smelled wonderful. The pool was great. All kinds of sitting around it. The parking would be the only thing, but even that was ok. The elevator was across the place from our room, and the disabled parking was limited. My sister who was with me isn't very mobile, but she managed. I would definitely stay here again!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Nice little hotel for a great price. Loved that it had its own balcony. Probably only very minor negative was a lamp that was not plugged in because the cord did not reach. (suggest either get an extension cord or remove lamp.) and was hard to see controls for temp on the fridge. Did not use the pool but it looked nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay here. We had a great time at the pool bar and the happy hour specials were great. The room was ready upon check in. Bed was comfy but the shower was a little lackluster. Overall though, it was great.
