We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Fabulous breakfasts. Great afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine - did not need to go out to dinner really! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded without us even asking. Very close to the main street in downtown Santa Barbara - easy walking to restaurants shops and sea front. Gardens surrounding the property were very pretty and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the good weather.
