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!
Harbor View Inn was one of the most beautiful hotel stops on our California tour. The room we has was HUGE and incredibly comfortable for our 2 night stay. Location was spot on - we were located in the North building which led straight out onto Mason, a stones throw away from the beach and only a 10-15 min stroll to the downtown area (even closer to the Funk Zone and wine bars!)
Nice little balcony on our 2nd floor room too! Perfect for enjoying an ice-cream from McConnells (just across the street) and a glass of something sparkling!
This location is amazing - almost on the beach (you just have to cross one road and you are there!). It has a fun retro vibe, big rooms, fun colors. Do note, there was no AC but they provided an industrial strength fan which was great. Some of the hotel is a bit rough around the edges - some areas could use a repair or two, but you can't beat the location and it is affordable. The pool is heated and is a great place to unwind.
This Motel was the best place we stayed on a 3 week trip. Its in a perfect location near the beach, marina, and the Main street of Santa Barbara. The staff were all lovely, really friendly and helpful. They put on a really lovely continental breakfast included in our stay with pastries, cereal, tea, coffee, juice and bagels!
The rooms were lovely fresh, clean and comfy. We wish we had stayed longer!
I stayed in a room with a king size bed. The bed was quite comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The hotel is located on one of the main streets near the beach in Santa Barbara with easy access to several restaurants and attractions in the downtown Santa Barbara area. The staff at the hotel were all very kind and helpful. The hotel grounds are well kept with beautiful landscaping.
location is perfect for a walkable Santa Barbara trip. Jeanine’s is next door with the best breakfast tacos I have ever tasted. Across the street from the wharf and front door is steps from State Street, where all the restaurants, shopping and action take place. Clean hotel that has been nicely updated with large rooms and a friendly staff. Great spot!
The location was very central and easy drive to downtown Santa Barbara, the beach and even Costco😄. We enjoyed our visit, my children loved the area and the inn. They said it was fancy. They loved the hot tub and pool. I loved the gardens, the smell of jasmin as you walk along the path towards Terra. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.
Hotel is super clean and has courtyard with comfy seating area to relax reading books or afternoon tea. Great location, walking distance (only 2 blocks) to Santa Barbara harbor, Maritime Museum, waterfront and all those nice seafood restaurant. Free parking !!!
There is no breakfast at Hotel Milo.
The room had a little balcony outside which was great for meeting up with friends before dinner.
The location is right on the beach a short walk to all restaurants shopping etc.
The pool and jacuzzi were great
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!
Great location close to all of downtown Santa Barbara. Staff was amazing and room was nice and clean. We stayed a larger more expensive hotel previously and would choose this hotel and location again. Great value!
A very modern hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara, within walking distance of bars and the promenade, while a little away from the bustling central street. The staff is very friendly and helps with all questions.
Wonderful hotel, good location, breakfast and afternoon buffet delicious, calm and serene gardens. The staff were polite and friendly. Overall a great place to stay when visiting Santa Barbara.
it was fine, but way too overpriced
we stayed in lots of hotels with similar arrangements which charged a 100 dollars less… I guess Santa Barbara is on holy ground or something…
Super close to the beach and a couple of cute restaurants and cafes. The staff was really nice and helpful. The hotel itself is based in a typical Santa Barbara style property.
The location is great if you want to be in downtown Santa Barbara. The staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel is old and funky which is fine. The bed was comfortable.
Amazing hotel near the beach and state street. So clean, friendly staff and amazing rooms! We loved it here and would absolutely stay again. Also, lots of parking!!
Fantastic location by the beach, pier and harbour. Walking distance to everything! A gorgeous small hotel perfect for families with a delicious breakfast included.
