Top El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location. I was traveling alone with my baby and felt very safe. The room was super clean and quiet."

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The staff left us a bottle of sparkling wine for a welcoming. (Which we forgot about and left it. lol). Clean rooms and super friendly staff. Hosing down outside areas in the am. I’d stay again!!"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortably sized room, clean, well appointed. Pretty grounds. Walking distance to the beach and to restaurants, yet still quiet."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely place. We received a really warm welcome on arrival and this set the tone for our entire trip. The team at Brisas del Mar are fabulous - so friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with great facilities - a huge comfortable bed and a great shower. The breakfast was simple but really handy to start the day. Perfect location for walking to the marina and the town. Highly recommended"

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"I would definitely come back!"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at La Playa Inn. Check in was super easy. Front desk gave us a map of the town, told us all the hot spots, how to get around, and recommendations. Rooms were very spacious and super comfortable. Beds/pillows very comfortable…better than many hotels I’ve stayed at. Bathroom was very clean and quite large. Amenities were great - they have a small courtyard on ground floor to hang out at along with sofas and couches on each floor. Decor felt like I was at a resort. Parking was free and a ton of spaces. Breakfast was good, plenty of single packaged breakfast items along with cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, etc. Location was literally across the street from the marina/beach. The nightlife spots were a 20min walk, not too bad and at no point did I feel unsafe walking at 10-11pm coming back from the town center or at 6am walking to the beach to catch the sunrise. The town was a very nice small beach town with incredibly friendly people. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from La Playa Inn or the town but was genuinely blown away by how nice it was. Only stayed 1 night but lowkey wish I was there longer. I highly recommend La Playa Inn and will recommend for any friends/family going to Santa Barbara in the future."

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"It was great stay, nice location, nice property, and real quality in the room. Only negative was the price but I did book it only two weeks in advance."

Hotel Californian

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the hotel topped our expectations time and time again. They made our stay extra special."

Haley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great outdoor space with games & great location to the water/downtown SB. Only downside was we had a few small ants throughout the room"
