What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Santa Barbara?
If you choose to stay at a 4-star hotel in Santa Barbara, you'll typically find lots of conveniences to ensure you're relaxed, such as a restaurant, pool and gym. You can enjoy high-quality service and upscale surroundings. Pick a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few extra perks — think on-site spas, around-the-clock concierge and opulent turndown services.
