Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"Was ok, everything worked but small room for the price."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A great beachfront location for a family vacation! We walked to the zoo, beach, historic pier & various excellent dining options. The only need for driving was to visit the botanic garden! The large pool is very accessible although the cafe near the pool was not open. We did put she's pool toys & snacks at the hotel gift shop. Parking is close to the main building & the breakfast buffet had a great variety perfect for the different preferences of our extended family, an A plus to the Hilton SB Beachfront Resort!"

Haley Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Very cool vibe here. Staff was great. Disappointed that there was no closet, no dresser drawers, no room to put toiletries, no table or a chair. Made it hard to feel comfortable with our stuff staying in their suitcases. It was a wheelchair accesable room which we didnt need. I dont know if i checked that box on accident? But even with all of that, it was a nice place, within walking distance to everywhere that you want to go! Toiletries provided, smelled so good, I bought some body wash to bring home."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The location is superb, walking distance to beach and State Street with eateries and shopping available. Hotel is lovely and newly renovated. The rooms are small but there are nice places to gather within the hotel - the lobby area, patios, and nooks. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the wine tasting offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Unfortunately, our room was next to the garbage collection area of the next door pizza place and we heard the truck pickup at 4 am Saturday. So maybe check which room you get?"
