Top El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean & staff was great!"

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Spacious rooms. Great location, walkable to the beach and State St for those that enjoy walking. Shower water temperature had issues but was fixed right away. Pool was nice. The lobby always had ice water and lemonade. Breakfast was lovely and so was the afternoon cheese and wine. Definitely recommend and would return."

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Pristine stay"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very friendly and helpful front desk staff!"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The young man at the front desk was very welcoming, and the room was clean and comfortable. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated, and the bed was comfortable. The building was also very quiet, which made for a pleasant stay. There really aren’t many amenities—no pool, Jacuzzi, or anything along those lines. The continental breakfast was pretty basic, consisting mostly of packaged pastries and yogurt, along with a small amount of fresh fruit. It’s enough to get you going in the morning, but definitely not what I would consider a great continental breakfast. Overall, the hotel is nice, clean, quiet, and comfortable. One of the biggest advantages is the location. It’s within easy walking distance of both State Street and the beach—approximately a 10-minute walk to State Street and about five minutes to the beach"

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this room 20 minutes before we arrived and what an AMAZING stay we had for such a last minute booking. Another local hotel had mistakenly canceled our reservation and we were in something of a bind as our friends were staying at this other hotel. We needed something local and this was a block away. The staff was so friendly! Our room was clean and beautiful (the color drenching was an excellent touch). Our bed was so comfortable. And the location was just perfect. Our friends were jealous and wish they had also booked here, the original hotel (the same price point) was not nearly as nice. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!"

Drift Santa Barbara, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Super cool room. Has everything you need, but definitely on the smaller side. Great if you’re spending most of the time exploring the area, and if you just want a cool spot to lay your head. Coffee shop was great, and the bar is also very aesthetic. Right in the middle of the attention/nightlife, makes it easy to stumble home. I’d come back for sure. Mainly a spot for you and your significant other."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Great place...clean, fabulous staff, lovely place. Would go back in a heart beat."

Haley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff!! Thanks for a great stay"
