Santa Barbara feels like a bit of paradise right here on earth. Beautiful beaches, good restaurants, interesting history, and friendly folks. The local pool (Los Banos Del Mar) is really top notch! Walkable city.

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.

Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch. A fun family area as well as a large variety of adult offerings.

What an absolute gem of a hotel - perfect positioned for both the beach and for enjoying State Street, the hub of Santa Barbara. Check in was easy and Ben, who was on the desk went over and above explaining the hotel and especially the area of SB. The room was really clean, VERY comfortable and well appointed - with GREAT coffee too. Free bike hire was an added bonus, as was the pool area, the fire pit - to be honest it was perfect!

The room was large. The bed and especially the pillows were first class. Would have been 10/10 but I just didn't like the bathroom (it was large and useful, but felt bleak and cold). The hotel restaurant is fantastic. No need to venture out when staying at the Lemon Tree Inn. Two nights there, two fantastic meals. I recommend the Calamari especially, the best I have ever tasted.

Is it worth $140 a night? Not really. But considering that’s about as cheap as it gets for Santa Barbara, it was a solid stay. Clean enough, comfy enough. Good location, in walking distance of a lot of stores/restaurants and only a couple minutes drive to downtown.
