10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Santa Barbara. It was centrally located so I was able to find places to eat and shop. Staff was nice and friendly. I had a small room with a queen bed. Just right for an overnight stay. Bathroom was clean, new, and towels and toiletries were nice. I would stay here again."
