Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.

Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere.
Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere. Clean city and easy to navigate while driving but MapQuest misguided me numerous times. Excellent ethnic food restaurants. Lots of choices. I’m recommending “Meet Up” Chinese, “Your Place” Thai and “Masala Spice” Indian foods. Meet Up was first place I’ve ever been served by a robot!!!! Very cool!

Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking...
Santa Barbara has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking mountain biking to sailing and other outdoor adventures. I would have liked to have more time to explore. Relax at the rose gardens at the mission, hike more, beach sunsets and dinner downtown. Getting around is easy. Biking is fun! I would avoid the traffic in the funk zone on Friday night. Park in a paid lot and walk in is what I recommend. Also check out the Farmer’s market downtown on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Wishing everyone a great time!
Everything! Located two blocks from the main Pier and in the heart of the sweet central locale of Santa Barbara! The hotel features artwork all year long that just gave it that extra touch of class and culture! They went the extra mile with all amenities and details in the room, classy, clean and charming! Such an elegant yet charming hotel! There are to lovely outdoor balcony seating areas to lounge and take in the beauty all around! Also there were complimentary bicycles to use! Truly can’t say enough! Stay here!!
~ Beautiful and historic rooms in keeping with the house.
~ stunning gardens surrounding the property
~ Breakfast was fantastic - a 3 course meal with the main meal something different each day, cooked perfectly alongside fantastic service!
~ Lovely warm scones and cookies served in the afternoon and evening.
~ Complete with fantastic hour d’oeuvres served early evening which varied each day and all delicious
~ turn down service each night
~ relaxing place, quiet and peaceful
~ one of the best hotels in California!!
The property is not close to downtown but that gave us opportunity to explore other parts of Santa Barbara. It is very affordable compared to other places. It’s quieter where we were at and that made our weekend trip relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel is close to restaurants, bars and coffee shops and as always we like to support local businesses wherever we travel. Thank you Agave Inn!
The room was large. The bed and especially the pillows were first class. Would have been 10/10 but I just didn't like the bathroom (it was large and useful, but felt bleak and cold).
The hotel restaurant is fantastic. No need to venture out when staying at the Lemon Tree Inn. Two nights there, two fantastic meals. I recommend the Calamari especially, the best I have ever tasted.
I loved the location! Just 10 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They greeted us with a bottle of wine and a room upgrade for our anniversary! I also really appreciated how dog friendly they were. Awesome accommodations! Highly recommend! We will be back! Thank you, Leta Hotel!

Delightful hotel just 2 blocks back from Santa Barbara beach, and just a short stroll into town. Rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable and there's adequate parking (needs to be booked and paid for). Staff are extremely helpful, the welcome drinks are a nice touch as is the endless supply of coffee and fresh baked cookies in the lobby.
We loved staying at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room size was generous and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was bit dated but in a good way and felt very clean. Would absolutely stay here again when visiting Santa Barbara.
Clean, central, and highly stylish rooms and a great backyard. Very close to touristic attractions and have a five star restaurant in it. Staff was helpful and very friendly. I would probably stay in the same hotel if i ever visit the Santa Barbara again.
Huge room size with view of the ocean. Beach was located right across the street, but the hotel was a little far from the main downtown area. The only option to park your car is with the hotel's paid valet. Nice amenities (pool, gym, bocce court).
Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice. The location, while not exactly on the beach, is well situated for seeing downtown Santa Barbara. Room was huge and well appointed. They are planning on renovations, so be prepared for higher prices!
Excellent location near the beachfront. We loved the breakfast and how we were received by the hotel staff. We liked that we could get free bikes with the hotel for a ride around town. Excellent value for money!
Hotel just a 2 minute walk to the beach.
Room was smallish but comfortable and loved the retro touches.
Was only here for a night and definitely wish we had planned for longer in Santa Barbara
Ability for a family group to meet and visit in the large patio area. Close to downtown Santa Barbara, on bus line, within walking distance of Starbucks, great restaurant food and staff.
This is such a quirky little hotel right in the middle of Santa Barbara. Beautiful decor. Breakfast was plentiful and staff were lovely. Great place to stay
