Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
"We had a pleasurable stay at Mar Monte. Staff greeted us kindly and the check-in process was quick.

This needs to be better explained in the literature regarding the resort fee. ..."

Palihouse Santa Barbara
"Very nice hotel and stay. Pool was a bit small, which didn't matter except that a family with kids and floaties arrived and took over the pool. Would have been nicer if this was an adults only hotel, but we understand that this was beyond the hotel staffs control. Guests do what they want to do."

Recent Santa Barbara hotel reviews by fellow wanderers

Inn By The Harbor
"The room was clean and the overall property is nice but the specific room I was given as a VIP Expedia had to be the worst: at the end near the street; noisy; shower wouldn’t turn off; hairdryer kept turning off; TV started on its own at 5:56am. Parking was full and I had to park way at the back in an area that felt unsafe. On the good side the breakfast was acceptable with egg bites, oatmeal, bread bagels, cereal, coffee, juice."
