Located next to the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara, the Hotel Californian is just steps from the beach and features an outdoor pool. Guests can enjoy several on-site dining options and take advantage of the on-site spa.

We only stayed one night, and wish it could have been a week. A stunning hotel with great facilities and helpful staff. Hopefully will return soon.

    An attractive, clean, and comfortable room. No breakfast bar; however, just across the street is Renaud's, an upscale café that serves a great breakfast. Also across the street is Chaucer's, a fabulous independent bookstore, and Gelson's, a supermarket. On a main street, but we weren't bothered by traffic noise. The location is good for easy access (by car) to downtown Santa Barbara, the coastline, nearby shopping centers, and the freeway (Highway 101).

    Room 14 (Deluxe King) is very nice and quiet. It's been recently upgraded/refresh from the looks and I would stay in this room again. On the next night, I stayed in a 'superior queen' which was quite a bit different...not very nice and very old school motel. The bed was comfortable though. Great location close to Alhambra theater which was the reason for the stay.
