Very Good

The room was exceptionally comfortable, unfortunately the night I stayed they had an outage with 'Pluto' TV which is their only source for cable news programming, but other than that everything was exceptional.
Delegator bar was amazing.A great bartender had just started there. She's totally funny, very outgoing, and very excited, fast and conscientious. Probably one of the best stays.I've had in a long time.The food at the restaurant was great.The amenities were great and the view was amazing
Beautiful rooms with own terrace. Beautifully landscaped. Room was spacious and bed comfy. I arrived way before check-in time with a fearsome migraine, and the receptionist went out of his way to get me into a room as early as possible. The only bad thing was I couldn't stay longer as I was only in Santa Barbara briefly. Highly recommend
I've stayed at the Lemon Tree several times. It has been consistently nice - clean, quiet, lovely foliage-filled views from the balcony. The heating is easy to adjust. I will happily stay there again.
I enjoyed the hospitality and the convenience of the property. My room was clean and the hotel restaurant was also very good. Also, the proximity of the hotel to downtown Santa Barbara was a huge plus for me.
Dated property, but with great charm. Our family really enjoyed our stay there!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The towels were all stained and the door didn't close properly. You could just push it and it would open. Not very safe to leave belongings inside

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Outdated rooms, no microwave, low quality TV, VERY low water pressure for the shower. Paid for a poolside room that ended up being on the 2nd floor. I asked about it and they responded that it’s poolside you just have to take stairs down. I expected poolside to be a walkout from your balcony like the pictures show.
