Pampered at the Palihouse
Amazing hotel with great vibe, ambiance, service, amenities, food, and location. Enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Will definitely return the next time we are in Santa Barbara. One of our family hotels.
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the location which is why I stay here. And the older charm of the facility is a plus. Lacking on some details ( no slippers this time ) and definitely needing some maintenance / upkeep in rooms. While pricier than many options some upgrades would make it more worthwhile.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great find in a very convenient location. The room was great, and we would go back. One little thing: the AC thermostat could not be set lower than 70 degrees. The room was a bit warm for us for sleeping and we would have liked to be able to lower it a degree or two.
