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
