Santa Barbara Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Santa Barbara, California

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).

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!!

The hotel is located in a great area close to the beach, dining and shopping. The room was nice, very clean and comfortable. The pool area was great. The staff was welcoming and professional.

We loved our stay at the Blue Iguana. It was a relaxing and peaceful two-night stop on our Californian road trip. Ojai is a lovely town with characterful shops and cafes (we recommend Hip Vegan), about a mile from the Blue Iguana Inn. Our children spent long periods in the pool at the Blue Iguana or just relaxing beside it.

I stayed at The Capri only one night, but it was perfect for my needs. The room was clean, with standard amenities. I had enough time to use the pool, that clean and in perfect working order.

This hotel is in a great location close to the beach and harbour areas. Very comfortable bed. Lots of little extras which make a good stay - wine and cheese in the afternoon!! The hotel is really easy to find off the freeway with ample free parking. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived late around 9:30pm after walking around a bit to much we found our room it was clean and we were very tired went to bed immediately. For Me and my husband the bed was way way to hard not at all comfortable. We are 84 & 80 years old but a little soft pad would have helped us to sleep better. We left at 9:30 am to meet friends for breakfast.

Gave us the wrong key at first, which was frustrating, but replaced it quickly. Clean, nice staff, nice ammenities.

I had a great experience staying at Hampton Inn with colleagues as we were attending a professional development conference at UCSB. The hotel is near the freeway that quickly got us to the campus- it took us less than 5 minutes.

Great! Great location! Staff friendly!😊 Many things to do, and many fun restaurant's.
