Top Los Padres National Forest Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Right on State Street. Easy parking. Friendly staff."

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Room had spider webs in corner of ceiling. Our coffee pot didn’t work. These issues were taken care of once we notified front desk personnel. The grounds and pool area were nice and well kept. Front desk workers had little to no customer care skills. I should not feel like I need a favor when asking them to handle issues with my room. The woman working the morning continental breakfast was very polite, helpful, and a bright spot in our visit."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast could be better. Just scrambled eggs and potatoes would be nice."

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Cute 60’s motif, very clean room with ample and easy parking. 1 block from the beach and most attractions."

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Older obviously, but clean and very cute! Would absolutely stay again!"

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, again. Can't beat the view, everything was great."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is in a perfect walkable location in SB. We picked it because they allow dogs and the room is actually perfect to have dogs! Little kitchen, which makes feeding them easy. Also spacious! We brought a Great Dane and there was plenty of room :) Bed was pretty comfy and room has AC and a nice bathroom. The only thing I didn’t love was the noise. You can hear the people above you, but a sound machine helps! Honestly despite the noise, would stay here again ;)"

Ojai Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding grounds. Extremely helpful staff. I’m about to make another reservation."
