Top North State Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice and close to everything. We didn’t have the daily breakfast because it didn’t look great so we just went into town for great coffee and breakfast. But all in all it was great stay and the staff was very nice. We did use the hot tub and that was a great way to end the day."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating for early check-in and late check-out. The room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed, down to the way the towels were folded. The property was lush with tall palms, banana plants and myriad greenery which created a calming environment. The self serve breakfast was a pleasant surprise. A hot tub was a wonderful amenity for an evening soak after a full day of walking."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very well maintained and a great bargain in Santa Barbara. The room was extremely clean and large. The bathroom was very nicely laid out. Breakfast was very convenient and the property was in a great location in town. The property is older but that didn’t detract from anything during our stay."

Hotel Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was very nice very clean. The staff was wonderful. It’s just that $30 a day parking but I know that’s what they’re charging nowadays. The only thing is we expected breakfast because they said they had breakfast. I thought may be a Continental breakfast , but there was none of that, There is a little bar there to order snacks and drinks. The other thing is that the parking is very hidden. You can miss it. We went around several times before we we saw it."

Santa Barbara Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. We didn't pay for an ocean view, but still received a wonderful view of the mountains and Santa Barbara neighborhood. Room was clean, decorated well and we appreciated the complimentary waters after a long drive. We did not use the valet parking, and we were able to find street parking behind the hotel each day. We liked the location of the hotel, right on the beach and not too far from downtown."
