Hotel Californian
4.5/5101 Reviews

Hotel Californian

Santa Barbara|2.24km from Santa Barbara Zoo
The hotel is expensive, but the room is not big, there is no bathtub and no view of the sea. Most of the money is paid in this location and exquisite decoration. Hotel parking is also expensive, and there is no free service, so the 7, 8, 8 nights of hotels are really not cost-effective. Of course, it is also a bit historical and design. It is indeed a lot of rich people to live, but if you want to really enjoy the feeling of rich people, it is best to book a room for more than one night, otherwise you will regret the money throwing in the water like me. Don't say that I didn't see the world in poor and sour, I moved out and lived in downtown Santa Barbara, LA and other places, no comparison and no harm. I can say that I don’t think I have too much money to live. After all, it is still a luxury hotel. It will not be uncomfortable. I can’t buy it with a little money. Don’t be as fascinated by Xiaohongshu as I am.

Santa Barbara Inn

Santa Barbara|0.61km from Santa Barbara Zoo
When the only thing my very picky husband can find to complain about is a missing second soap bar in the bathroom, you know you have a winner! We had stayed at this property many years ago and love the way the current owners have redone the interiors. Both our bedroom and bathroom were lovely and excellent sized. We had a large covered balcony overlooking the park and the ocean. Yes, there is noise from both Millais and Cabrillo streets, but the room was virtually soundproof with the sliding doors closed. The pool was clean and uncrowned and the ocean was right across the street. Staff was excellent!
Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

Santa Barbara|0.96km from Santa Barbara Zoo
The resort was beautiful, the room was comfortable and clean. We brought our golden retriever and it was a very pleasant stay for him as well. The location is close enough to the shops and restaurants of State St. but far enough away to be peaceful and not too crowded. My only complaint is the food. We ate at all of the different restaurants and each time we were so disappointed by the quality of the food and the prices were astronomical. I don't mind paying a lot for good food, but this food was worse than what I make at home and I am not a good cook! My daughter ordered the lobster roll at The Set and it was terrible. $30 down the drain. We had breakfast at The Roundhouse and the avocado toast was beyond bland. Then we tried lunch at the Terraza del Mar - I got a chicken Cesar salad and my daughter got a poke bowl. The salad was cole slaw mix and chicken, that was it. Her poke bowl didn't have the rice that it was supposed to have and was horrible, she couldn't have more than a couple bites. I would stay at the resort again, but would never eat at any of their restaurants again. Better to Doordash or eat off property.

Hotel Milo

Hotel Milo

3.8/5102 Reviews
Hotel location is good, 2 swimming pools. Breakfast is a simple continental breakfast. There is no problem with full food. The equipment of the hotel belongs to the old America, everything is old American furniture, clean and clean. Barbara is a non-smoking city. If you want to smoke, you can't be in the hotel garden. To walk to the back of the hotel, I remember parking at the hotel seems to be 30 USD / night VALET PARKING is convenient. Drive. Ride in the hotel's blue bicycle town. Remember to get a bicycle lock when you pick up the bicycle. In addition, I would like to say that I am not satisfied with the booking service provided by Ctrip this time. 1- Ctrip's price shows that all tax-included prices are 1,000 cheaper than Booking and other website prices. So I chose Ctrip after comparison. But When I left this hotel, the hotel paid a city tax and two other items such as miscellaneous charges on the bill. I think there is a suspicion that Ctrip does not add these two items in order to show low prices. .Other booking sites have clearly written that Santa Barbara has a city tax, but Ctrip, hey. I just want to use this word to describe it. The experience is very bad. 2- I booked a double bed and arrived at the hotel. Hotel Gave me a family room. This made me very annoyed, so I went back to the front desk to ask what was going on. After the front desk inquiry, the front desk said that someone had assigned me a room type in advance. But the order was indeed a 2 bed room. Anyway The front desk waited for 20 minutes to be allocated a twin room.

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

We stayed here for 2 nights during Christmas time. The location and price was right. It is walking distance to the beach and warf. The room was clean but very small. We are a family of three and it was a tight fit. We didn't spend much time in the room though so it was fine. Since we came for Christmas we took the self driving holiday light tour. It was amazing! Highly recommended. The warf and boat tour was nice to catch the sunset.

We stayed in room 220. It was a family King. It was spacious and clean. We had 2 bathrooms which was cool. We each had our own bathroom. The bathrooms are small but they have everything you need. The room was pretty quiet. You could hear people only if they stood outside the door to talk which happened once during our 2 day trip. We enjoyed some drinks and appetizers at Coast and Olive ( the hotel restaurant). We also enjoyed walking to breakfast at Jeannine’s. We walked to Ca’Dario for dinner . The place is great and super friendly staff. We loved the hotel. We’ll be back.

Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

This hotel had great charm and is centrally located off State St close to many restaurants and tasting rooms, and a quick 15 min walk to the beach/Funk Zone. Room- we had a king which was comfortable and the room itself was a nice size. We faced the back of the building so our room was quiet, personally I think the rooms facing State St would be loud at night. Bathroom- like other reviews stated, the bathroom was small and the shower flooded the bathroom every use. They have a half door on the shower that doesn’t cover the length of the shower head causing flooding every time. It was a nuisance to deal with every day and could easily be fixed if they added shower curtains. Staff- everyone was pleasant and the daily cookies and tea were nice.
