I loved this place. The location was very walkable, just next to the beach and Santa Barbara old town. The room was big and extraordinarily clean. The beds were comfortable. Also, the option of free parking is very handy as street parking can be expensive around. Breakfast was good... I will definitely stay here if I visit Santa Barbara again.

Quietly elegant yet home-like, my experience of Palihouse was a delight. The staff are all—to a person— kind and welcoming, and the vibe is warm, familiar, well-curated and much like a club of which you’re a long-time, valued member. The room was very spacious, extraordinarily well-appointed, quiet, and comfortable. A private taste of SoCal at its best; I’ll definitely be returning.
