Without question, Spanish Garden Inn is one of the most wonderful, idyllic places to stay in downtown Santa Barbara. The Inn offers beautiful rooms with fireplaces, a romantic courtyard, delightful pool and the staff is beyond helpful, kind and professional. Their hospitality extends out in the community. The entire staff and owners, Rich Untermann & Gail Elnicky, are long-time supporters... More

What a find! Lovely rooms, pool and service! Well located too!! The rooms were very cute and spacious - the showers were great and it was quiet. It was a delicious breakfast buffet - not so much cooked food, but I think you could order it. Very friendly staff.

Everything was perfect. The room was spacious with a balcony where we could read and drink a glass of wine. Santa Barbara is a lovely city and a pleasant surprise because, after Los Angeles, we didn't expect to find such a quiet and relaxing city so nearby. We had our breakfast in the courtyard and at night they lit a... More

A little hidden jewel Not that Santa Barbara isn't a lovely little town, but this hotel gives you the charm of Europe with all the convenience we expect in the USA... It has a delightful inner Courtyard to have a drink...or breakfast in the morning. Our room had a little garden in the back where we could sit and relax.... More

Driving up from LA to Santa Barbara is like entering into another, more perfect world. Lovely and quiet. And I guess the Spanish Garden Inn is to Santa Barbara what Santa Barbara is to LA.

We were booked for 5 nights and were fortunate to be upgraded to the junior suite, a large room with a generous sitting area in front of a fireplace. The pathway to our room lead us through a courtyard... More

Relaxation was exactly what we got. The hotel is designed as a series of small building with the doors to the rooms pointing... More

One of our very favorite places, the Spanish Garden Inn is just a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. It is a Spanish-style villa that, in every regard, transports you to the heart of Europe. It reminded us of places we stayed when visiting Tuscany and other European cities. It was a great pleasure to stay... More

My husband and I stayed at Spanish Garden Inn last weekend for 2 nights and it was one of the best hotel experiences we have had in a while. From the last minute check-in (we had originally planned on only staying one night but because our original hotel plans fell through, we called at 9:30 pm and they accomodated our... More
