Top Santa Barbara Bowl Hotel Reviews

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it, great room!!"

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love this little place. Amazing location, great staff, super clean and they have an awesome free breakfast spread."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean rooms, super friendly staff, excellent location close to harbor and pier, beach."

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff were very accommodating. That said, our room 341 was very basic with a big hole that I assume once housed a microwave. There was also a black stain or the colour was worn off the toilet seat. Not what you would expect for a hotel charging over $330 per night. Made you think “shabby”."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location; within walking distance of the pier and the beach"

Casa Jardin

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean place to stay at. 14 minute distance to downtown or near coffee shops/restaurants. Room was very clean and spacious. Full kitchen was full equipped with the necessities. The only thing I didn’t like is the parking was so close to our window so no privacy. Otherwise, enjoyed the stay and would come back."

Orange Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"It was not fancy or amazing but it was convenient to the downtown area and not too far from the beach. I was not too happy with the layout of the bathroom-small and no vanity or places to hang wet towels. the staff was friendly enough."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"It's been renovated and it's so nice. Super clean and located right on State Street. Parking is in the rear of the hotel, small bar near the lobby - I cannot recommend it enough."

Santa Barbara Amazing City & Ocean View

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with air conditioning. Great city and ocean view. Peaceful night.Thanks Gregory."
