Hotel Santa Barbara
10/10 Excellent
"Great location on lower State near restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shopping and a short walk to the beach, yet still quiet. Hotel felt newly renovated, rooms have all the necessities including single serve pour over coffee service and tea. Elevator is slow and small, but we only used it when we had our luggage in tow. We used valet parking which was easy and convenient. A great lifestyle hotel that we will definitely book again."
