We visited Santa Barbara; went on a surrey ride and had dinner in a great restaurant, Ca Dario. We didn't care for the ... shopping; too much emphasis on it. Lots of the abandoned store fronts especially closer to the beach were not appealing and appeared dirty and uncared for. However, this was a pleasant and fun trip.

Good hotel. It was a bit busy due to a large group of swim team members staying here at the same time, but otherwise I would ... stay here again. Clean, decent sized rooms, a short driving distance to State Street, and, once the team left, quiet and peaceful.

Great Place

Mommyof1 Jul 5, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

3 families traveling for a fourth of July getaway. Our kids had a blast at the spacious heated pool. We traveled with a ... total of 5 kids from ages 2-5. The separate living space was great for the kids to run around in and watch DVD's. I wish we had a DVD player in the bedroom also so they could watch while in bed. Breakfast was wonderful and the landscaping was immaculate. Very quiet place. The only problem is that it is a little far from Fisherman's Wharf, where we wanted to be and there is no on-site restaurant. Other than that great all around. We did not have a microwave.

This was a comfortable hotel. The staff was pleasant. The breakfast arrangement is different (made to order continental) ... and the rooms are not connected to the main bldg. Parking can be challenge if the hotel is full. Covenient to SB airport.

Great value for location

Andrea Jul 24, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

The Pacifica Suites in Santa Barbara provided excellent value in a beautiful park-like setting for what is otherwise a costly ... area to stay - and is just close enough to downtown Santa Barbara, without being too close to all the people and noise. There are two separate rooms in each suite, although the sink for the bathroom is in a common area. All other aspects of this hotel exceeded expectations and the staff were very professional and accommodating.

great find- close to santa barbara

D. Jul 1, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

If you are looking for a little off the beaten path this is a great spot. clean rooms, great courtyard. however the bathrooms ... are less than luxurious for the price and rather small room sizes makes this a tight sqeeze if you like to spread out and relax. Goleta is easy to get in and out of and close to santa barbara for shopping. Hit Solyana for a day trip. this hotel really makes sense if you'll be going into that area.
