Santa Barbara Hotel Guide - 5 stars Hotels in Santa Barbara, United States of America

The staff were incredibly helpful. The room was very clean and spacious. The rooms are like a collection of cottages which gives it an intimate resort feel. And of course the views are spectacular. A wonderful hotel.

Beautiful hotel. Luxurious but also homely and cosy. Extremely professional and effect staff and amazing food, particularly the baking. Great location on quiet road but only a short walk to key sights and the town centre.

Beautiful facilities and grounds, and the Sunday brunch is not to be missed! The room was very nice with a super-large bathroom and a balcony, although no room on it for any furniture - standing room only. Close walk to the ocean and about a 10-minute walk to lots of good restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel; will definitely stay there again in the future.

Going mid week was an excellent decision as the resort was quiet and we got a great room for the price. It is pricey, but worth the treat. Our villa overlooked the two large pools and we got peeks of the ocean. The room was spacious, clean, nicely appointed, and very comfortable. If you are going for an special occasion, and want a treat, let the front desk as well as the restaurant know. We went for a walk on the beach one day and a short hike the next day. My husband swam in a very clean and warm pool. I loved it, and for a special occasion we would go back!!

Wonderful, relaxing experience. Feeling of luxury and tranquility at virtually all times at all locations on the property. Definite thumbs up; looking forward to our next stay at San Ysidro Ranch!

We had a wonderful time at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. The staff were friendly and attentive. Our meal at Olivella was amazing. The wait staff were top notch and the view from the porch was breathtaking. Make sure to borrow the Linus bikes and ride the trails and explore the hotel property and downtown. The hotel rooms need updating, the furniture look old and tired. The beds were old and uncomfortable. Woke up with back pain. Need more channels on the tv (food channel did not have signal). And the light switches were crossed (light switches turned on light on opposite side of bed).
