We stayed at the Encina Lodge while visiting Sansum Clinic. The lodge is just across the street from the clinic and Cottage Hospital. Very clean, we went without reservations and they had the accomodations for us. They also have a discount if you are visiting the clinic. The Cottage Cafe in the lobby of the hospital is a wonderful place... More

This Lodge is surprising wonderful. They have a great pool and spa. The rooms are spacious and clean. We had a double Queen room. The internet is very fast. We had 3 people in our room and the bathroom was large enough to accommodate all of us. There is a separate large area with a sink separate from the also... More

Loved this hotel. Even though it is an older property, the rooms and grounds were immaculate. Suite had lots of room to spread out and a nice deck overlooking the pool. The bed was comfortable and bedroom was quiet. Could hear some noise from neighbors through living room wall late at night, though. State street shops and Stearns Wharf, SB... More

Location is in the middle of a residential neighborhood and looks like converted apartment buildings. Check in was fine, no problems. We were in a building in the back with parking garage underneath. They should most definitely warn people who have vans or suv's (pretty much everyone in the TINY garage) that maneuvering in there is very difficult between the... More

I checked in late and checked out early so the only thing I really experienced about the hotel was the room. It was clean and well equipped with toiletries and complimentary snacks and water. The pillows and bed were very comfy and the tv remote had it's own little "sanitary bag". There was also a ceiling fan which was quiet... More

Check-in was very smooth and the staff was very friendly and informed us of where to check to see if the whales were migrating still when we mentioned that we were interested in whale watching. The hotel consists of multiple two-story buildings in a quiet residential neighborhood. We were a little apprehensive as we noted that there was a hospital... More

My friends (4 people) and I stayed at this hotel for one night while traveling to Santa Barbara for a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl. It situated in the middle of a residential neighborhood and has a very old school apartment feel. The one good thing about the room was that it has a full kitchen, a living room... More

The open air arena allows for an ocean view while enjoying musical delights. As you mentioned our hotel is located in a lovely residential area offering a sense of ‘home away from home’, which many of guests seeking a... More
