    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

    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.

    Booked and stayed on the same day/night for an impromptu night in Santa Barbara. The theme was great and carried throughout the hotel into the rooms. Brilliant location and easy free parking. Thought it might have been noisy as it's just off the front strip, but needn't have worried. Once the windows and doors were shut, it was really quiet. Comfortable big bed and a good strong shower with toiletries available and clean fresh towels.

    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).
