We enjoyed our stay. Staying at Palihouse makes you feel like you’re actually living within the Presidio neighborhood in Santa Barbara. The rooms are a nice size, the bed was comfortable and it was just what we needed for a weekend away. The location is really great. It’s close to shopping and restaurants on State Street, wine tasting rooms, and lots of great coffee shops. We loved walking around the neighborhood and would definitely stay here again.

We loved this hotel - the rooms were very spacious, the patios very comfortable and looking over the fountain and common area, and having water, lemonade and cookies out all day is a really nice touch. The pool was small but lovely, the only downside was no hot tub. The location is the best part - three blocks off of State St and close to some awesome restaurants, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle that it stays nice and quiet. Will definitely stay away.
