Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"I was in town for a wedding and this hotel was perfect for my first time in Santa Barbara. The renovations are beautiful and the staff could not have been better. Fantastic location - I was able to walk to all 3 wedding events and down to the pier one morning. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. "
