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.

My wife and I had a great 2 night stay here in Nov 22. The hotel is in a very central location right in the middle of State Street, the pedestrianized main street in downtown Santa Barbara. It is surrounded by all the downtown shops, bars and restaurants and a short walk to the Funk Zone, West beach and Stearns Wharf and pier. Although it is very central, it was not noisy. The main hotel entrance is impressive, and our room was large, well equipped and very clean. There is also car parking, which is ideal.

We really enjoyed our night in Santa Barbara. The hotel was close enough to get a taxi to the beach. In fact we walked most of the way back - it felt perfectly safe to do so. We received friendly service and checkin and checkout. Our suite had three beds across two rooms, so our teenage sons were very happy to have their own beds. Our suite was quiet and well equipped. The on-site restaurant provided a very nice breakfast.
