Santa Barbara is beautiful and there are many things to do when visiting, such as walk down the main street and shop, bike along beautiful bike paths and visit the old mission. The restaurants in the "Funk Zone" get very crowded, so FYI. We very much enjoyed a Santa Barbara local restaurant/bar called "Roy," not so much for the food, but for the ambience and live music.

It is good to visit once, it doesn't have a lot of things to do but it is relaxing and nice. The funk zone is really cool and you can spend a lot of time there. We also reserved a trolly tour which was really good.

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.

As we arrived Peter welcomed us. This guy is a legend - one of the funniest and kindest people i met in the US. No Joke, a 10/10! We stayed one night and he uprgradet us to a room with whirlpool. The Hotel is very near to the centre (State St.) - maybe 10min walking. A nice hotel to stay in for visiting Santa Barbara.

Everything about this hotel was perfect - we absolutely loved our stay, so much that we stayed for another evening! The pool is well heated, staff are so friendly, you are greeted by warm cookies and refreshments and the rooms are so clean and spacious.
