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.

    Beautiful property, perfect location right on State Street. The gym was very nice and the bike cruisers were easy to rent and of high quality. They had some nice touches like coffee/tea in the morning, iced tea/water and cookies in the afternoon. Nice comfortable bed and room. Very dog friendly. Super friendly staff. Would absolutely stay again!

    This was our 3rd stay. This time we had a lovely view to the ocean, very nice. The grounds are well tended, pretty and the street is very quiet and we adore the location 1 block from East Beach. Rooms can get very spacious and have a fun retro feel. We also choose this hotel because it is pet-friendly and we love East Beach and walking our dog there when we visit.
