Superb small boutique hotel with great vibe and quality Spanish decor (lovely aged terra cotta floor tiles throughout hotel). Classy, professional, great attention to detail eg very scenic courtyard with fountain and tabletop gas fires..... dozens of candles lit each night around reception and courtyard.. Very many other great touches set this hotel apart. Thanks to Elizabeth and other staff... more

Having stayed at several hotels in California on a busy first-time-in-the-US-as-a-family road trip, we arrived at the Inn of the Spanish Garden expecting smart bedrooms , but had no other expectations except the very positive reviews on Trip Advisor. It turned out to be so much more. Each bedroom appears to have its own outdoor private balcony or verandah, big... more

My husband and I just finished a wonderful 6 nights in Santa Barbara at the Inn of the Spanish Garden. We had a great stay and would seek out coming back next time that we are in Santa Barbara. Our flight was delayed on our way to California and we did not arrive at the hotel until 3 AM. The... more

The Inn of the Spanish Garden in Santa Barbara lived up to the very positive reviews I read about it online before staying there. However, I was very disappointed in their restaurant recommendations.

It is directly across from the elevator and has no view -- certainly nothing like the views shown on their website and their brochures. We inadvertently left a very nice bottle of wine in the room's refrigerator. When we called about it, they claimed that no... more

The staff at the Inn was very helpful in helping me make my reservation and I got a executive king room for well under the published rates. The room was exactly as advertised, the bed was comfy, the tub was luxurious, the bath products are incredible, the patio was great to sit out on and the services was wonderful. The... more

This hotel has charm, class and is very hard to leave. This was our 4th hotel on our trip down the Californian coast. Our party consisted of my husband, myself and my thirteen year old daughter. After taking advice from the extremely helpful Rebecca when making our reservation, we decided to have a junior suite for our two night stay.... more

This hotel is amazing. Perfect location. Great amenities. Excellent service. The cookies and drinks in the lobby are a plus. Make sure to get a room with a private garden patio. I informed the hotel that it was my birthday, and when I arrived there was a birthday card in my room. Excellent attention to detail. more
