Top Foothill Hotel Reviews

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and well put together. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was very large and well laid out. The shower was kind of small but then I'm a bigger guy so that's not a negative"

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"When I lived in Santa Barbara from 2001-2020, we would always book rooms for the guests we didn't have room for at The Lemon Tree. I now live in San Diego and usually stay with family when I come to town every 5-6 weeks. But this time, I was visiting with a friend from my childhood who lives in the Midwest who deserved the ambiance of a place li9ke The Lemon Tree. During our stay, we had drinks by the pool and swam in it, It is very long and there is a long shallow shelf which delighted my 3 1/2 year old grandson but PLEASE NOTE: the pool is not heated! After a drink with local friends by the pool, my daughter and her family who live in Santa Barbara went to our room. We turned the TV on for the kids and the adults retreated to the private lanai, which is spacious and welcoming. On paper, The Crocodile Restaurant is separate from the hotel, but it was easy to order and have the food delivered to our room. So why do I give it only "Good" ratings on Expedia? I love ambiance and The Lemon Tree oozes with it. It provides guests a serene, tropical setting away from the beach, which is too touristy for me. Beyond that, if it meets my low standards: the shower delivers steady hot water, the place is clean, and the beds are comfortable, I am happy. I'm saying "Good" because people who want up-to-date guest rooms, should move on. The guest rooms, particularly the bathrooms, are crying for an update. But they do work."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely place. We received a really warm welcome on arrival and this set the tone for our entire trip. The team at Brisas del Mar are fabulous - so friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with great facilities - a huge comfortable bed and a great shower. The breakfast was simple but really handy to start the day. Perfect location for walking to the marina and the town. Highly recommended"
