Santa Barbara Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay with helpful staff who went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. The room was extremely clean and spacious, with a very comfortable mattress. I enjoyed eating breakfast outdoors at the hotel restaurant. The beach across the road was perfect for our small wedding party - not at all packed. We also enjoyed the hot tub and pool, which were sparkling clean. There was a sidewalk next to the road for jogging and some workout equipment. in a park just north of the . This place was definitely worth the splurge."
