"Hotel staff was very nice"

5/5 Excellent

"Super cute, away from the how busy the main area of State Street but is still a quick drive away. But it’s also just across the street from a huge shopping area with restaurants. The inn itself is also gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and clean and it’s such a cute and lovely place. I actually prefer it here than some hotels on State Street - this is a great spot and especially at a great price! "

Perfect, reasonably priced place in town.

"Everything went nicely, we checked in pretty late, and were greeted warmly. The room was very pleasant, everything worked as it should. Breakfast was provided in the morning, and it was clean, efficient, and tasty. I enjoyed the pool and hot tub, both were fine for a quick dip. Location was great, not too busy but walking distance to harbor, beach and downtown. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone."

"All of the staff, valet parking, location, check-in were all top on our list. The room was a little out dated. The pictures led us to believe that the bedrooms were more separated. To sleep six there should be two sinks in the bathroom. We were caught off guard and we ended up with only 4 sleeping there since there was little privacy."

5/5 Excellent

"**Title: An Enchanting Stay at Bellwood L Encanto** My recent stay at Bellwood L Encanto in Santa Barbara was nothing short of magical. Perched atop a hill, the property offers breathtaking views and an atmosphere of pure charm. From the moment I arrived, the staff's hospitality was outstanding—they were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The amenities are top-notch. The pool area is an oasis of relaxation, surrounded by lush greenery and offering a serene escape. The food was exquisite, with each meal showcasing fresh, flavorful ingredients. The fitness center had fun group activities making it easy to maintain my workout routine while traveling. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, providing a luxurious and restful retreat after a day of exploring. Every detail, from the elegant decor to the plush bedding, contributed to a sense of comfort and tranquility. Overall, El Encanto is a gem in Santa Barbara. The combination of stunning location, exceptional service and luxurious amenities makes it a destination I highly recommend. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience."
