I stayed for a week when I traveled for work. It was very comfortable and a good location - not only close to where I was working but close to good restaurants and markets. Only downside is they did not have a microwave in the room.

We enjoyed our two-night stay here. The hallway fan provided white noise, which helped minimize any outside or hallway sounds. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked, and the bed was comfortable.
The front desk staff was attentive and responsive to our requests, which we appreciated. Breakfast was included - simple but satisfying, with everything well stocked and conveniently available. Parking was easy, and the jacuzzi was a nice bonus during our stay.

My daughter and I recently had a wonderful, relaxing 3-night stay at the Ritz Bacara. My daughter is a college student nearby and needed a relaxing getaway. The Ritz definitely fit the bill. The staff was fantastic, probably the best part of our experience. We felt well taken care of. My daughter had a massage at the spa and said it was incredible. It was a very rainy weekend so we weren't able to enjoy the pool or tennis courts, but I took a long walk around the property and the beach and it is...

Although, I am more of a dog lover than a cat fan. The Cheshire Cat Inn left me purring. We were looking for a quiet romantic lodging near the Santa Barbara Bowl and we found just that.
Suzanne was welcoming and accommodated our late arrival by extending the wine & hors d'oeurves hour. Thank you Suzanne, the gesture was greatly appreciated since we had just driven in from Los Angeles.
The special touches of homemade brownies before bed made me feel at home. And I absolutely love...

From the time we arrived and were greeted by Katy to the time we left three days later we were treated royally. The B&B is so charming and the grounds are park-like. We stayed in the Sun Room and although small inside, the private deck is amazing! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The breakfasts served on our deck were delicious and served graciously. The location is so convenient for walking around downtown but we enjoyed the atmosphere at the Simpson House so much that we hung out...

Very happy with the room, the house very cozy. Staff friendly. Clean. The breakfast was delicious! I would stay there anytime, I just wouldn’t stay on the second floor. I recommend the host tells the guest staying on the third floor to be more considerate when is bed time with the people in the rooms on the second floor. You can hear everything! Guests staying above were very loud, moving around till late into the night. Other than like I said, loved the place!

The front desk is anti social or needs a quick refresher on people skills. Housekeeping and Maintenance team you gals and gals rock. These two team are very professional, polite, and overall great people. Our room AC died and maintenance came in a jiffy and addressed the situation. The landscape is very beautiful and the barn gym was great-could have weights for bodybuilders. Pool water temperature was warm and pool side clean. Surrounding area looks run down or not so inviting.
