Lemon Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bueno"

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"Staff was super nice. The beach is not a 17 minute walk, that is the South location not this one. Overall I was very satisfied with my stay, and appreciate free coffee."

King Frederik Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Good reception and cleanliness of the rooms and availability of all the facilities in the room. Free parking is available"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"My friend's and my room was nice and clean. I thought it was weird that we had to walk outside of the lobby to find the elevator, though. When my roommate and I took our showers, there was either body soap or shampoo in the container that was supposed to be conditioner. And the conditioner was in the body soap container! I was also disappointed the next morning that there was no variety of hot food, like eggs, and meat like bacon or sausage. However I did enjoy the custom brew coffee machine that offered lattes and cappuccino."

Chumash Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were also very good at communicating. I realized the next day that I had forgotten my hat in the room, so I called them, and they were helpful in checking on it. Hopefully, housekeeping will find it and I’ll be able to get it back"
