"The cabin we had was wonderful. Kitchen was stocked so well. It was clean and pleasant. However, if you advertise a restaurant and you are 17 MILES away from everything, that advertised restaurant better be open. We were panicked when the restaurant had not been open for over 1.5 years!!! The thought of going back 17 miles on a country road after driving over 5 hours was a deal breaker. Although staff was super and helped us find some food in the little convenience store (which closed at...

"We loved our stay at the Cheshire Cat Inn. Everything from the easy check in, our cottage was adorable and spotless and the delicious breakfast delivered to our door every morning. The location is great, close enough to state street but also quiet and peaceful. We have stayed in Santa Barbara many times, usually closer to or right on the ocean which is beautiful but can be very noisy since the highway runs along the shoreline. We will definitely stay here again!"

Top The Mesa Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room "

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in pristine condition, and located right where all the action is in the Downtown Santa Monica. I love the decor. The aesthetic is quite homey. The mini bar is stocked with anything you could need during your stay. Even the soaps are nice! You will want to arrive before valet leaves for the day! Otherwise, ample parking is available in City Lot #11 (hourly)."

Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

6/10 Okay

"We would have had a wonderful stay, except that housekeeping was awful. The first day they did not do our room or leave clean towels. We asked for service and were given towels, but no wash cloths. The next day we had to ask for sevice. The 3rd day, they madevthe beds and nithing else. These little things make a big difference toward avrelaxing stay. The beds are comfortable. The location is excellent. Room service is fast and delicious. There is no free parking without a good walk, so be ready to add $48 nightly to park. "

Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel!! Room was spotless, spacious, modern (recently renovated), bed ultra comfy! Heated pool was nice and warm in a beautiful garden setting. Breakfast is amazing! Super variety, everything tasty and fresh. Very clean breakfast room. Staff is super lovely - especially Abner was very helpful and kind. Original stay was 2 nights - we extended our stay to 4 nights. Location is very convenient close to shopping and restaurants. Book this if you want great value for your money! We will come back!!"
