Quietly elegant yet home-like, my experience of Palihouse was a delight. The staff are all—to a person— kind and welcoming, and the vibe is warm, familiar, well-curated and much like a club of which you’re a long-time, valued member. The room was very spacious, extraordinarily well-appointed, quiet, and comfortable. A private taste of SoCal at its best; I’ll definitely be returning.

Great location. The hotel is located just next to the wharf and about 15 min away from the center by walking. Restaurants are nearby. Our room was in another complex, close to the main building of the resort as we asked for a quiet room. Beautiful and comfy room.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

What an absolute gem of a hotel - perfect positioned for both the beach and for enjoying State Street, the hub of Santa Barbara. Check in was easy and Ben, who was on the desk went over and above explaining the hotel and especially the area of SB. The room was really clean, VERY comfortable and well appointed - with GREAT coffee too. Free bike hire was an added bonus, as was the pool area, the fire pit - to be honest it was perfect!

For reasons out of our control we checked in very late and the front desk was so very accommodating, which is just what we needed at the end of the travelling day. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved the location and quietness of the neighborhood. We also had breakfast in the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely book this hotel.

Exceeded expectations. Great location for downtown Santa Barbara with parking. Short walk to shops, cafes, beach and pier. Immaculately presented room with great facilities. Spotlessly clean. Aircon temperature perfect, quiet, high ceilings. Very comfortable. Stayed in six different accommodations in California during my trip and this was by far the most comfortable.
