It was our first time visiting Santa Barbara and first stay at Pacific Crest Hotel. This was a last minute trip and we were pleasantly surprised on how nice and welcoming this hotel was to our family and how close it was to the beach. We will definitely visit again with more time to spend.

Great location. Couple of blocks to the beach. Walkable to downtown Santa Barbara. Extremely affordable. We will be back.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice quiet location. Very close to the beach to walk the paths starting at East Beach all the way to State St or the Warf if (about 20-30 mint walk). Dog friendly, so it was great for my family. We had the room with a full kitchen, and we were a short walking distance from the small grocery which was very convenient for thing we forgot. Small but nice warm pool.
Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is excellent with good parking. Our room (Standard) had an awkward layout. The Closet area had a locked door that opened to the next room. You could hear conversations and I'm sure they heard ours.
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our recent stay proved to be an excellent experience for a family of four. We were accommodated in a two-bedroom apartment, complete with two bathrooms. The beds were clean and provided ample space. One of the bathrooms had been recently renovated. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition. Overall, the stay was highly satisfactory.
Jose, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The beds were uncomfortable, only two sets of towels for 4 people, the bathroom window was cracked, a wax of hair was on the bathroom floor when we got there, and the chairs looked dirty. this place is in a safe area but this hotel is just a barely renovated old motel advertised as an upscale type hotel. We could hear every noise possible through the walls.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Located close to beach. Breakfast is a nice, simple, healthy and quick. Great onsite parking.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved the deck off our room. Loved the bed an the colors of the room. A small microwave would be nice a softer towels. Overall great ocean view, love the upper deck!
jill, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was in excellent condition. I was pleased that I received daily housekeeping services, as that is not always provided in this day and age, even at more expensive hotels. Pacific Crest will be at the top of my list for future visits to Santa Barbara.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It was clean and the pool area was fun. I would stay here again

Was not worth the money
Achile, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cute little property. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants, the pier, etc. I had the king room with the deck. It’s a small room but suited me fine. The shower worked great and although I don’t take long showers, the water pressure was fabulous and I never ran out of hot water.
