Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

"This is a great hotel overall. Pool area and grounds are beautiful and the pool is very warm. Decent breakfast with a lovely lady managing it and warmly greeting everyone. Free parking added bonus. Would return for sure."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is old school California. Right in the heart of the action, downtown by the Wharf. Hotel was semi clean, semi dated. Staff was exceptional. Pool is small and crowded"

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Traveled as a family with two young children and found the loft room to be very spacious. The welcome wine reception was unexpected and the morning breakfast was convenient."

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place that felt high end yet welcoming. The only issue that wasn't 5 stars was a fan motor that was extremely loud and might have been going out. We got there late and didn't say anything so I can't day the stay wouldn't have addressed it if mentioned. The room was kept could enough when we arrived that it didn't need to run very long anyway. Every staff member we came across was very friendly, and i loved the room and bathroom and shower. I wanted to stay longer."
