Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Casa Riviera, a ZenStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This property is located in a quintessential Santa Barbara neighborhood. It is located near the beach and State Street. I loved my stay here, but encountered one issue. The only place I could find to charge my phone was in the bathroom over the toilet. It would be great to have something by the bed."
