Palihouse Santa Barbara

The hotel was like a small luxury boutique hotel I¿ve stayed. It had a great vibe. Loved the central patio and decor

Would prefer a breakfast include, has the set up for it Would be an amazing feature to add

Staff

the first floor room was un bearably loud -people clamping around and cleaners- plumbing is so loud.

We had stayed here on a previous trip when the hotel was under different ownership. The location is perfect with everything you need within walking distance.The style of the property is perfect for us, small and traditionally built. The current owners retaining many of the original features.Free underground parking is available.

Reception staff were a bit off hand and not particularly customer focused.Whilst we understood that it was a child friendly hotel we had need to complain about the behaviour of a group of teen girls who persisted in screaming at the top of their lungs for hours on end, while their mother sipped wine and surfed on her phone. The reception staff dealt with our complaint but felt the need to explain that the hotel was family friendly.

Room had no AC for first night so for $900 we got a standing fan and an open window, no discount offered. Also "dog-friendly" with no space for pet relief.

Loved the vintage Hollywood vibe, cleanliness & location.

Having a glass shower w/out a bathroom door...immediately visible to anyone who walks in the front door.

Had a lot of character and was tastefully decorated and equipped. Free parking

Location was a little further than expected

Breakfast was great - good selection and very tasty. The decor is delightful and the rooms are really comfortable. Great parking - right underneath the hotel. The hotel really fits the vibe of the town.

Very cool vibe. Within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Easy and free parking. Snacks in the afternoon. Nice and quiet.

Nice hotel. Good garage. Got an upgrade bcs the booked room was upstairs without elevator access and I was walking on crutches

De reception was very basic, but that’s very minor

Staff friendly and helpfulRooms spotless and very comfortable Excellent proximity to downtown Quiet and relaxing atmosphere

Not enough hand wash and body wash Toiletries on wall in shower but nothing next to the bath or sink just one ting soap

I absolutely loved the decor! It was stunning. Spacious room. Great facilities and friendly staff

Location was amazing! The bar was beautiful and the staff was so friendly and accommodating.

There were kids staying above us who were a little loud, but that's completely out of the hotels control. That was genuinely our only complaint!

Proximity to downtown and everything. We left the car in the garage the entire weekend and either walked or biked everywhere.

Wish there was a hot tub

Palihouse was chic, lovely and very clean. Also the location was calm. Loved the water available in the lounge. The pool area was very cute.

11am check out is too early. For this price point, noon should be the standard. Also, two towels per guest should be placed in the room.

Lovely room, nice and quiet surroundings. Rental bikes available to cruise to the beach in just 10 minutes.

It was great :)

Design and decoration was perfect.Room size was convenient. Cute kitechenette in room. Thoughtful details everywhere.The breakfast was very good.Friendly staff.

I was hoping our room was sunnier. The smell in the room needs improvement.

My husband and I came to Santa Barbara to get married at the courthouse so we decided to stay at the Palihouse. Best decision we made and it is less than 5 minutes away from the courthouse. This property is so clean, it’s charming and great ambiance. Parking is in private area and has two electric charging stations on site. Plenty of places to sit down and relax grab a coffee, bite to eat and/or coffee. The front desk staff and housekeeping staff were so amazing. They were so helpful and professional. They made good recommendations for local restaurants and went above and beyond to help us with anything that arose during our stay. We are planning to return and stay here again.

There was not one thing I did not like.

Loved the cosy, homely and community feel to the property. Cool design also and was great to have a gym to use during my stay!

A little noisy between rooms

Good
