Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location next to shops and farmers market. Our room was on the smaller side, but was very nice, quiet, and clean! All the staff were friendly and helpful. They helped make our wedding anniversary extra special. It is also pet-friendly, and valet parking was easy and reasonably priced - we will definitely return!"
