“My sister eloped here last week and the courthouse gardens were absolutely beautiful. The grounds are well maintained, which really helped with her outdoor ceremony. We really appreciated the ranger who kindly helped us by handing something off for us in a timely manner!”

“Always nice, roses are cut back for winter so very sparse but still large lawns and areas for relaxing and picnics etc. Have not been over to the mission to check if restrooms are in order, front of mission has had construction as well during winter.”
“5 stars isn't enough!!! We just had a company event on Friday and Duo catered for us and I can't express how amazing they are. I mean every single staff member was awesome and please don't let me forget the AMAZING food. Alan was the best he catered to all of our needs and then some. Thank you so much and I can't wait to work with you again.”
“The Factory was an amazing venue for our pre-wedding traditional Indian lunch. The space has a clean, modern industrial aesthetic and serves as a beautiful blank canvas with a great inventory of furniture and rentals. The flexible layout — including the barn, courtyard, and lot — allowed us to accommodate about 70 guests comfortably. Despite the extreme rain from an atmospheric river, the barn kept everyone warm and dry, and the courtyard worked well with heaters and umbrellas.
Neil was extremely easy to communicate with, honest, and helpful throughout the process. Given the stress of rearranging our entire wedding weekend due to weather and venue changes, he truly alleviated our burden by taking ownership of customizing and executing the layout for our event. His flexibility was invaluable — from reasonable décor guidelines to allowing outside catering and bar service, as well as offering morning setup time, night-before drop-offs, and easy vendor walkthroughs.
We highly recommend The Factory for anyone looking for a versatile, stylish venue with strong amenities and a supportive team — especially for couples planning multi-day events or needing a space that performs well in both good and bad weather.”

“We rented LoDo for a commercial production of testimonials, and it was great! Ground floor access made loading in and out very easy. The staff was very amenable, the facility was versatile, and overall it was a great experience.”
“Beautiful services,
Community and content. Currently there are rotating ministers and it actually works
Well, giving the community even more knowledge, experience and wisdom to draw upon. A wonderful place for anyone, any age families, singles - all are welcome genuinely. In my 30 years in SB, it’s always been a place of solace and inspiration and I feel the quality of speakers and messages are only improving. Also attend on- line”
“The Orchids were extraordinary. I didn't want to leave. Great displays, friendly informed vendors. Places to sit and rest. I bought a photograph of a Cymbidium Orchid from one the artist in the art work exhibit of orchids, also on display with the live orchids.”
“Across the street from the ocean. lots of green lawn for kids to run around. Great for big parties and birthdays. Playground.
When the Carousel House first opened around 95-96 my daughter was about 2 years old. She loved this place especially the Denizel Original Horse Carousel..”
“I had my wedding here and it was perfect. The ceremony on the grass followed my cocktail hour in the patio. We got a dance floor, but it could not be placed out in the patio. It had to be placed in the buffet area. It was still beautiful.”
“Just met the owners/family at the Santa Barbara Roar and Pour. By far the best table at the event and the friendliest! They also had the best wines out of everyone there. I will definitely be heading to there shop for more wine.”
“Kiva was exactly what I was looking for when I moved to SB. Terrific spaces (you get access to two different ones), great amenities and perks. Really appreciate John and the staff for a great first month!”

“We stay here when passing through. Very clean central location. This is a boutique hotel very well maintained at the start of main street & the funk zone. The homeless situation is ridiculous in Santa Barbara & Moxy keeps you safe.”

“We loved our time at the Kimpton Canary in Santa Barbara and are so glad they are a Chase Edit property. The property is in excellent condition, the staff were all warm, engaging and helpful and the location was ideal for walking to restaurants and shopping. I also really appreciated how the valets offered to charge our EV and apparently they had a few chargers they could plug into. The on site breakfast was also very nice. Totally impressed!”

“Good experience overall. In line with other 5 star hotels although I understand why some folks are complaining. Service was okay, not 'wow'.
We did an anniversary getaway between Christmas & new year. Overall pleasant.
(relevant for Amex card holders) My only complaint is they didn't properly apply my Plat credits for one of our breakfasts so we got overcharged a little over $100. I called the hotel to fix, charge was reverted but then posted again. Not worth the hassle at this point for me but I'd recommend you keep an eye out at checkout.”
“What an amazing experience!
From the very first moment, Susan made us feel completely comfortable and welcome. The place was spotless, and the atmosphere truly felt five-star — just another reason Santa Barbara lives up to its beautiful reputation.”
“Charming old world hotel with a lovely lobby , nice pool, and great front desk staff with responsive housekeeping. The location is perfect and close to everything including the beach! Next time however , I will ask for an updated room and one that is bigger and quieter. They are remodeling the 3rd floor now, which is deafening and goes on from early am to after 8 pm. This something I wish I knew would be going on before I booked my vacation , but hopefully they will also be installing soundproofing to address the paper thin walls between rooms. If you stay here be prepared for unbearable noise and go have fun on the beach or the patio at honor bar or the bar at lucky’s!”
“It was a beautiful evening at the Music Academy for the Vivaldi Candle Light concert. The ambiance was warm and intimate. The musicians put together a spectacular hour long show. Highly recommend.”
