We stayed there during our honey moon last October and it was absolutely marvelous !! The hotel is the perfect romantic hideaway, with lots of lovely details and the most friendly staff we ever experienced - thank you Brittany ! The suite was spacious, with a fireplace, a huge bathroom, a small private garden and very nicely decorated. At night,... more

We loved the Inn of the Spanish Garden. It's small, quaint, rustic spanish charm throughout with a handy enclosed car park. The staff were exceptionally helpful and our room was beautiful. We wished we had booked for more than the one night we did. There was a lovely feel to the place, with our four poster bed, fan and fire... more

Stayed one night here to break off our journey from Big Sur to LA. Although it was a fleeting stay - I really enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised. First of all, the location is perfect if you want to be central. We arrived late afternoon, stayed overnight and then did some sightseeing around SB the following day. The staff... more

The Inn of the Spanish Garden was somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. It was excellent in many areas and just average in others. My wife and I got a Junior Suite and here's a list of the negatives and positives (keep in mind that most of these negatives weren't horrible, but from from the standpoint of expectations when paying... more

I recently stayed at the Inn at the beginning of Oct. for 4 nights - this was my 5th stay in two years. Impeccable! The front desk staff was (and always has been) charming, friendly, and helpful. The rooms are definitely spacious, the bathroom lighting could be better (females: take note, this hotel, like so many others, could do better... more

I'd prefer to give this 3.5 stars but there's not a choice for that. My husband voted for 4 stars. The good: beautiful clean room with nice touches throughout. Spa products are nice, tea/coffee products exceptional (french press), fantastic linens and the grounds are lovely. Charming and tucked away. Bad: they were working on the property next door- with earth... more

We spent two nights here in late September based on TripAdvisor reviews. Excellent choice! It has a very quiet, Santa Barbara feel with small courtyards and good size rooms, mostly on the second floor, overlooking the courtyard and pool. Our room was very nice with a small porch overlooking the main courtyard. While not exceptional, it had plenty of space... more

Fellow Travellers, This was hotel #2 on a 5 hotel stay in California. First was Fairmont Miramar. Picked this place on the strength of TA reviews. Great decision. Despite the high price point, we felt that we got our money's worth and more. Here;s why. First of all the staff - very helpful, could not do enough for us, but... more

Lovely, quiet hotel only a few blocks from the shops and restaurants. There is a great courtyard garden where you can enjoy a glass of wine and the breakfast that is included is a real bonus and offered much more than expeceted with fruit, bagels, toast, cereals, juice and coffee etc. Parking was free. more
