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.

The hotel was very cool and had a great vibe. Loved that we could bring our dog. The afternoon lemonade and candy/cookies were fun and tasty. The weekend pastries and fruit were great! All the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Chandra at the front desk. The room was pretty, felt big and the bed was comfortable. The fireplace put out a lot of heat. The underground parking was really nice too. Quick easy walk to State street. Definitely would like to come back.

Wish the balcony had chairs to sit outside on. We only had one stool without a back.

We loved the location and great restaurants and cafes near by. Property is on nice street near the main street, but very quiet. We didn't a chance to use the pool and cafe We love Spanish architecture of the building in and out. Room was good size; bathroom and shower room separated and a nice bath tab. We loved how bright the room was and the balcony overlooking the central court. This was a perfect place to relax when we wanted and be in a center of the State street in less than 10 mins of lazy walk.

It would be great if property had a restaurant and bar that is open at night.

The whole decor and layout of the hotel is very welcoming There is a lovely courtyard where drinks are served and there are complimentary drinks from 5pm to 6pm (not Sunday) Absolutely free! The rooms are of a very high standard with balconies The location is excellent being a few minutes from the centre of State St and near the best restaurants The staff were very helpful especially Fabian and Nate on the front desk We went to a Winery for a tasting and Fabian provided us with all the picnic accessories. The pool is small and comfortable to sit around Overall one of our best stays in Santa Barbara in a great boutique hotel

Wonderful rooms that are beautifully decorated and designed with lots of amenities inside (though you have to pay for them- i.e. cocktail station, snacks, drinks). Loved the deck to sit on and enjoy the lovely Santa Barbara weather. Parking was easy- they have their own garage, and location to downtown was stellar.

Would have been nice to get some complementary bottled water every day.

Beautiful property in stunning Santa Barbara. All the facilities provided were great and to a high standard. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was beautiful and well decorated. They offer a happy hour which is always a great addition. The breakfast was delicious - especially the granola bowl. Special shout out to Noel from the bar and the general manager Silvia - they both made our stay extra special.

Lovely spanish style property. Mini bar and snacks in room which was nice. Private terrace, fireplace. And a great bluetooth speaker.

This was the only hotel that added a resort fee whch popped up rigth at the end when I was booking. To be fair the fee included parking but it was a bit of a surprise.

I love the quiet but central location and the retro cool vibe. I liked the little balcony, the gas fireplace, and large fridge. The bedding is very comfy.

The showers are a bit slippery and no rubber mat was provided. Also the QR code to order breakfast only showed the drinks list, no food menu.

This is a great boutique property, a short walk from downtown State Street Santa Barbara. The hotel is very comfortable and very quiet in spite of its in-town location. The staff could not have been more helpful. I spent an extremely enjoyable 4 days and had great weather to boot. I will go back

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.
