It is good to visit once, it doesn't have a lot of things to do but it is relaxing and nice. The funk zone is really cool and you can spend a lot of time there. We also reserved a trolly tour which was really good.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful small city on the coast with mountains behind. Good weather, walkable main street. Nearby Montecito and Summerland are lovely too. But accomodations are expensive throughout the area.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch. A fun family area as well as a large variety of adult offerings.

Our stay at the Bath Street Inn was delightful and full of charm! The breakfast and late afternoon cookies and refreshments were delicious, the room was clean and perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Location was close proximity to downtown State St and located in a quaint residential area (easy 5 min bike ride to the downtown; bikes located around the corner next to bus stop).

A clean and comfortable place walking distance from the beach. The main city center of Santa Barbara is about a 15 minutes walk away. Breakfast was very simple. Parking was also included in the room rate. Also enjoyed the layout of the Hotel with a comfortable community area to sit outside and socialize.
