Didn't use the amenities but every room faces the pool and it looked crystal clear. Lots of patrons out there enjoying it. The room was clean, although fixtures were a little old but didn't mind that. Overall, was a great value and a comfortable stay. I would definitely come back.

The staff was great, especially the younger female with a long brown hair. She was just incredibly helpful and pleasant. The outside and inside the restaurant are just beautiful. The room was comfortable and the view from the room was wonderful as it was a view of the barbecue area of the pool and all the gorgeous palm trees. I mean, it was a very Hawaiian tiki theme. Will definitely come back.

Lemon Tree Inn is beautiful place with a lot of trees and a cute patio with a nice restaurant on-site. When came to SNta Barbara for a short getaway for 2 nights! Staff is cordial and room is clean and spacious! A heated pool is a plus and free self parking and wifi. You can also drive a few miles to get to Stearns Wharf and enjoy the shops, food, and bars on State St. We will come back again with our extended family!

Beautiful property, loved the swimming pool and the balcony off of our room overlooking the garden and pool. The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. It had a mini fridge, but no microwave, so not great for leftover food. Also could use more convenient outlets for chargers
Pool at night
beautiful grounds

Staff was very friendly. No hand soap in the bathroom and there was a big window in the bathroom that let in the light (fixture) from outside our door. It made the room very bright when it came time to sleep. There should be a door on the bathroom door so we could block that light out. Other than that, great location and very friendly staff.

We got a room on the ground floor by the pool, it was very dark even during daytime. It’s not well noise insulated and we could heard the people above walking and dropping stuff. Our room was near a spotlight outside that was reflecting inside the room all night. Beside that the pool was nice but missing a jacuzzi and the garden was pretty. Restaurant looks nice and staff was friendly and helpful. Perhaps best to stay on top floor next time!
