Perfect. Personnel, infrastrature, facilities and location are very good. We had a wonderful experience in our stay in La Playa Inn. We were in a road trip on the Hwy 1 route, and this hotel was one of the best experience during our journey. Very well located near to the pier and the turistic center. Congratulations.

Perfect and quit. We had a wonderful cabin for 5 people with great green views and a nice patio. Breakfast and dinner is included. Food is obviously home cooked and very tasty, which we really appreciated after almost 3 weeks on the road. Staff is so welcoming and you almost feel like part of the family. We did a horseback ride up the hills. It was definitely worth the cost and we really enjoyed our cowboy guide telling us about the area.

The person who checked me in gave me one of the new bedrooms because I stayed five nights. The bedroom was lovely, spacious, and comfortable. I loved having such a comfortable bathroom. Live Oak Cafe is very convenient to grab coffee and breakfast. Amenities looked fantastic.

It is good to visit once, it doesn't have a lot of things to do but it is relaxing and nice. The funk zone is really cool and you can spend a lot of time there. We also reserved a trolly tour which was really good.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful small city on the coast with mountains behind. Good weather, walkable main street. Nearby Montecito and Summerland are lovely too. But accomodations are expensive throughout the area.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

For reasons out of our control we checked in very late and the front desk was so very accommodating, which is just what we needed at the end of the travelling day. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We loved the location and quietness of the neighborhood. We also had breakfast in the restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. When we visit Santa Barbara again, we will definitely book this hotel.

My wife and I stayed at Casa Riviera for a 3-day, 2-night trip to Santa Barbara. The property felt newly renovated, and all the amenities we needed were well provided. Compared to staying at a hotel for a higher price, this was a much more economical and reasonable choice. We were very satisfied with our stay.
