A Good Option in Santa Barbara
The Fess Parker is set on a beautiful stretch of beach in Santa Barbara just minutes from downtown and the main shopping district. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are well maintained, and the grounds offer everything from a swimming pool to tennis courts, a spa, and several restaurants. The hotel's main positives are its location, the view, the amenities and the staff. I wish they would nickel and dime you less though, everything from parking to internet carries an extra fee. When you're paying $300+ a night for a hotel room, you sort of expect the wifi to be gratis. And $18 for self-parking (per night) is a huge rip-off. Also, expect train noise if you're on the side of the hotel that faces the mountains.

Santa Barbara Double Tree
A perfectly reasonable hotel in downtown Santa Barbara a short walk or drive from the town centre. It was clean, friendly and reasonable for what it was. Great pool and ood fitness room, if a little small but to be expected for hotels. Breakfast and food in the hotel was a little average and would recommend heading into town for food in the mornings as the buffet was a trifle expensive at $22 per head for mostly tasteless food. Staff at the hotel are friendly if a little slow and not terribly responsive. We had to call them repeatedly after being assured of call backs from reception to deal with a minor issue but on the whole OK.

Happy camper
Excellent accomidations
Location is the key, as it's probably the only one. However you just feel relaxed & stretch out. If I could find the same price - i'd stay there again!

beautiful view and that's about it!
The room had a great view of the ocean but was definitely overpriced for what it is. The hotel food is not very good. Save your money and take a walk in the town and eat out.
