    Website says heated pool year round, and Tiki bar, open until 930 p.m. on Saturday evenings. Pool and bar were closed, went to celebrate daughter’s birthday, very disappointing.

    Nice vegetation

    TV wasn’t connected correctly, so had to pull it out I order to fix the issue and get it to work.

    The restaurant at the hotel had great service and food. The hotel was perfectly located in the areas we wanted to explore. It was one block away from an excellent coffee shop with plenty of room.

    I had no idea that the Lemon Tree was in such disrepair. I would say that the representative issue could be the multiple chunks of some kind of construction glue that were stuck to the wall above the desk. The walls throughout were simply dirty which lead to a belief that nothing was clean. The sheets on the bed were too short for the bed, with at least two inches of torn mattress showing at the foot of the bed. The paint in the shower room was peeling in multiple places - particularly around the shower curtain where it appears so dirty I chose to not shower for the two nights I stayed there. I am sorry to say, it was just a poorly maintained space. The people were nice, but I would not recommend the hotel to visitors or friends.

    The man at the front desk was welcoming and responsive to my needs.

    The location was great - for the price of over $200 we would most likely stay closer to the beach.

    The room looked as if it were converted from a storage closest into an ada compliant room. Not ideal for us per say. Semi Clean but would not want to shower there.

    We were greeted by an exceptional young college student; She was friendly and efficient.

    The plumbing wasn't the best. We had to move rooms twice because the first two rooms had very poor plumbing. The first room had a supper leaky toilet(leaked from the side). Big hazard because of the wet and slippery floor. In the second room, the toilet overfloaded.

    The grounds were nice. There's lemon trees and palm trees. I believe all the rooms have a balcony.

    The shower curtain was hanging funky because it was missing several of the hooks and also didn't have the plastic inner piece to keep the water from coming outside the shower. The soaps were dry/cheap.

    The location was good. The Inn was clean.

    At the top of State Street. Spotlessly clean. Lovely little terraced area overlooking the pool. We sat and had breakfast watching a hummingbird. Good location for a visit to Santa Barbara. Plenty of parking and shopping nearby.

    Nothing. It was great! Don't know why booking.com gave it a frowny face.

    I was hesitant to book because we rarely stay in Santa Barbara, due to getting better prices in outlying areas. But got an excellent deal and found the property amazing. It is an older establishment (built in 1920) but it is clean and very quiet. Had a great balcony overlooking the pool and although there were people playing in the pool, when we closed the balcony door it was total quiet. Next visit to Santa Barbara will book Lemon Tree Inn. Almost forgot, very good restaurant/bar, had a huge hamburger dinner and coconut cake that were delicious, and very reasonably priced.

    The bathroom was very dated. The bathtub was especially old with dingy spa-type jets. The Inn is not close to the beaches, it is easy access though back to the highway. There was a restaurant on site (poor service, good food!) which was fortunate since we couldn't see anything else in the area. Seemed like a very residential area.

    The gardens were nice. Balcony was large and had table and chairs.
