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."

Obvious areas were clean, but some areas were not. The pool was nice. Pretty expensive for a pretty old hotel. The hallways were old looking. Bummed I didn’t get my fire pit patio room bc the fire pit was down. Was upgraded and compensated with free breakfast, but still. Wasn’t as exciting as I hoped."
