I really love this place The staff and the accommodation everything's good there I just I really like it!
The room was a very nice size. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. There are a couple of convenience stores nearby and a few restaurants within walking distance. There was a gas station across the street as well, so it was very convenient for us.
Room very clean , front desk manager was so accommodating very helpful of what to do in town where to eat Ect. Only 1 thing is that a fluffy pillow or maybe 2 pillows would have been great but I also didn’t ask for an extra pillow. Location to State Street shops and restaurants was excellent.
The staff was nice , respectful and friendly. However, the room were okay , no fridge to keep any left over food or milk for the kids. The place was nice 10 mins walk to downtown.
We enjoyed staying at the Orange Tree. It was a clean, simple room and a good price in a great location. Will definitely be on the list of places to stay on the next trip to Santa Barbara.
It was a short and sweet stay. Orlando the manager was beyond helpful and so kind. Perfect for our strike to visit our son. Close to many restaurants beaches etc!

Disliked: Amenities
i liked the fact that its very central and near a whole lot of stores and restaurants
Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Room was very nice and bed was super comfortable. Not a ton near by, but there are a couple convenient stores and a restaurant very close. I stayed here for a concert at the bowl and wasn’t a bad walk, not short but not long either, took 45 minutes at an easy pace. Will probably stay here next time I go to the bowl.
Orange Tree Inn is perfect for what we need...a place to rest our heads after a late night. Location is perfect, close to everythin SB has to offer. Bonus walking distance to Garretts (best breakfast). Will stay here again.
Gas station right across the street where I got a bottled water the first night (got in late). Overall it was a great hotel for the price, and I felt safe. My only complaint was a strange smell. Not really sure what it was and by the second night, I got used to it.
