“Upscale and delightful”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

My companion and I spent two wonderful nights at the Spanish Garden Inn. Room 11 was beautiful, spacious, well appointed and very quiet. We arrived on Mother's Day after a grueling, five hour trip from San Clemente. Front desk staff, Brian and Alec soothed our jangled nerves with their warmth and engaging professionalism. They couldn't do enough to help us... More

“Pleasant, quiet, a perfect stay”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We had a great time last month. The staff was superb, the room was very comfortable, clean with all amenities needed. A beautiful fireplace kept us warm all night. Breakfast was simple, delicious, it gave us the feeling of being in Europe. Room service is not the greatest, the staff was good but the food was very scant. We will... More

“Far beyond expectations”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

This hotel was a new experience for us, despite being in Santa Barbara many times in the past. We counted on the reviews and were not disappointed. The property is intimate, home like, but with a wonderful location (easy walking to State St.). Our room felt extremely private and had 2 separate balconies, also very private. The amenities and service... More

“Great find in the heart of Santa Barbara”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Literally 3 blocks from State Street, for great shopping and restaurants and a short drive to the beach and harbor. Great rooms, heated pool, beautiful courtyard for afternoon Happy Hour and the service was impeccable. Great find!

Sethun, Thank you for the kind review. So glad you found us. Please come back and visit us again soon. Sincerely, Brian Cogswell General Manager More

“ok hotel”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

I booked based on the ranking (number 1) and reviews. But it is an ok hotel. As Santa Barbara is a rich city I expected more from the #1 hotel. Rooms are ample but not that clean. The breakfast is really poor. The staff is nice though. And location is good too.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I am sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations during your stay with us. I would be happy to speak personally with you to address your concerns. Feel free to call me directly at 805-564-4700. Thank you again. Sincerely, Brian Cogswell General Manager More

My wonderful trip advisor checking wife, once again did a great job in finding a place to stay. The Spanish Garden Inn was a little oasis in a fairly big city.
