"We have stayed at the Cliff House several times over the years, and this last visit was great, as always. You can't beat the view overlooking the ocean (every room has a view). Dinner at the Shoals restaurant on the premises was very good, (although a bit pricey, but worth every penny). The Cliff House isn't fancy, but it's clean, quiet, affordable, and the location is amazing. We will be back! "

"We spent one night at the Hummingbird on Jan 8, 2025. Unfortunately, the power was out in part of the town of Ojai, and this included the Hummingbird Inn. The hotel staff had no control over this, but made the best of a bad situation. We were given a flashlight, electric candles, and they had the firepit outside going as well as the indoor fireplace in the lobby. We brought our dinner in there and ate by firelight! In the morning, with the power still out, they picked up coffee from another...

"We (and our two dogs) had the BEST time at the Capri. It was the perfect relaxing escape from a very scary week in LA. We highly recommend it and will be back! The beds were super comfortable, the pool and hot tub divine, the grassy area beloved by our dogs, and we loved the easy walk into town!"

"Very cute place. For years I’ve always wanted to stay in an airstream and this afforded me that opportunity. It was a very enjoyable experience. There’s a kitchen in the Aistream, but absolutely nothing in the kitchen, except for an electric kettle, sink, fridge, microwave and some tea and coffee bags. No silverware, napkins, cooking utensils, pots, plates, etc. Not anything you would need to be able to make food in or to eat on. No sponge for the sink. That was a huge disappointment because we...

"I’ve been here twice now, three different rooms after switching last time. my favorite place to stay in sb. It’s a cozy setting once you’re ensconced in the place. Boutique hotel I’d say.Rooms are clean and stylish in a homey sort way not the soulless decor that is almost always the case elsewhere though Santa Barbara unusually tasteful in that department. Definitely a great value when you consider the perfect location right on the waterfront with a short walk to restaurants including a very nice Italian place right next door. Same beach you could easily pay 4x more for those big impersonal resorts at the other end not to mention the endless additional fleecing you get at those places. I can afford to stay at those places but choose not to. A few things to note. On the upper level the rooms facing the water don’t have lounge chairs outside the others do. One of the expensive room options on the second floor(with balcony) is facing the busy street and some might not like the traffic noise. It was a terrific room though. Also one probably very cheap one I staying in last time is for a reason -right beside the driveway as you pull in and you’d not want to leave your curtains open. Room was a nice as the others though. One thing I wish more hotels had including this one would be a comfy lounge chair in the room. The premium rooms did however. Just an honest very nice place great value. "

"Brisas Del Mar was the perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara! We loved having access to the free bikes so that we could sight see easily, the lobby had SO many amenities and a free breakfast, and the rooms were super cute with great beds! The dvd players were an extra nice touch as well :) my only complaint was the early cut off for the hot tub. We had a nice dinner and wanted to use the pool facility, and found out it closes at 10 or 11pm. I understand for safety they shut it down at night, but it should still be accessible with a precursor to swim at your own risk. Other than that, can’t wait to come back!!! "
