We arrived as part of a large tour group and were met with champagne and freshly baked cookies. The rooms were clean with lovely extra touches including fresh fruit and sweets. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff including those at the great on site restaurant. This may not be the swankiest hotel in Santa Barbara but it would... More

Absolutely tops in accomocations, and willing to make adjustments for those with disability needs. Small group of 20 individuals, had only compliments for the friendly service, rooms were great, generally a quiet and beautiful area, flowers in full bloom and fragrance, catered dinners were delectable. In planning for this, the Marketing Director, Jessica, was of so much assistance, and followed... More

The plus: -It's in Santa Barbara! -Beautiful facilities, enjoyed our patio off the pool -Staff were friendly and helpful. -We enjoyed having the grocery across the street and fridge/microwave so we didn't always have to eat out. The minus -5 miles from the beach (you could get a lot closer) -Kids ended up with a psuedomonas rash from the pool/hottub... More

Have not been back to the Pepper Tree in a couple decades. Went back for old-times sake and as pleasantly surprised. Courteous and helpful staff, Cindy in particular. The room was quiet, clean, and quite spacious. Very nice bath room and quality amenities. A little out of the city center, but an easy drive down State....and, did i say quiet?... More

One can have all kinds of food ..chinese, western, macdonalds, carl junior, pandera bread, etc and there is even a church opposite the hotel. Even.though to downtown is about 8 miles, it is a good location though. The pool... More

Stayed here 2 nights travelling up the coast from LA to SF. Santa Barabara is a beautiful place to stop off and this hotel is away from the centre so it was quiet and peaceful. It also has a quaint restaurant which serve lovely homecooked meals. Centre of SB is just a short drive. Main reception has a lovely roaring... More

We recently got back from 2 nights stat during long weekebd and we throughly enjoyed Santa Barbara. The hotel is lil far from the downtown and hence not the best place to stay in terms of the locations. On my next trip I would pay more to stay right next to the sterns wharf or downtown state street.

The simple perks that really matter,,,we found fruits, candies, cookies and bottled water in the room. At the front office, there's coffee, more fruits and ice cold lemon water. I loved that you can sit and relax outside your room which is overlooking the pool. I would give them a perfect score except the wifi was very weak.
