FOUND Hotels, Santa Barbara, Series by Marriott ★★★
"This is not a hotel, it is a drive up to your room motel. The room was nothing spectacular, just an average Ramada/Holiday in type room in a motel setting. Upon entering the room there were holes in the walls where previous pictures were hung, paint chips on the bottom of the door jambs down to the wood, pint has chipped off the doors and then they were repainted l. Breakfast in the morning was missing eggs due to the “egg machine being broken”, waffles were available but the line for the one waffle maker was about 20-25 people deep. We ended up going to a restaurant to eat. Shame on you Marriot for allowing this type of thing to happen. Photos attached"
Rosewood Miramar Beach ★★★★★
"Location was not best. Service not very accommodating."
Lemon Tree Inn ★★★
"The room was quite big and very clean. The room I booked also has a balcony and a courtyard outside, which is quite special. It will be very enjoyable to have a cup of tea or coffee. I like it personally and recommend it!"
Oasis Inn and Suites ★★
"A normal motel. $250/night is a crazy. But I guess it’s supply and demand. Front desk is helpful to the extent this is a motel"
Solei House ★★
"Environment: Clean and tidy Service: Friendly Facility: Complete"
Casa Iglesia ★★★★
"Environment and decoration are quite good"
Town and Country Inn ★★
"Ideally located in Santa Barbara, great value for money and lovely ownership. A good motel overall, not hotel quality but you get what you pay for and we were happy for the night."
Rose Garden Inn ★
"Cleanliness was acceptable. There were no pillows on the bed, only three decorative cushions. I accidentally left some clothes behind upon check-out and requested them to be sent back via express delivery, offering to cover the shipping costs. However, despite multiple attempts to contact the hotel, I received no response."
Best Western Plus Santa Barbara ★★★
"The hotel is located in a quiet residential area. It's very close to all the attractions by car. There's a small restaurant downstairs, making dining very convenient. The room was very clean and had a small living room. It also had a full kitchen. Except for the slow internet speed, everything else was excellent."

Montecito Inn
"Cute renovated old hotel with the vintage elevator very charming. However, I booked the hotel because it was promoted as a hotel with a spa. However, it did not have a spa and recommended a spa that was several miles away. Although I think I might go back cute."
The Franciscan Hotel
"First, the downsides: the placement of the power outlets was rather impractical 🙂 But the room was cozy and comfortable, and although we didn't have breakfast, it looked delicious. Overall, it was quite nice, and it's also very close to Stearns Wharf, making it a good place to take a walk in the morning or evening."
