We absolutely loved our stay at the Pali House in SB. The location is terrific. Just the right location of being able to walk to State St & all the surrounding stores & restaurants as well as not feeling too hectic and crowded in the center. We used their bikes which the hotel provides for free and I would highly recommend taking advantage of that amenity. The property is peaceful and charming. We stayed in room 10, which was spacious and overlooking the pool, on the 2nd fl. There was a tub and a shower so it was great during the cooler temperatures to have a soak. We used the fire place too, which put off a nice amount of warmth. Another plus was our balcony, which we were able to enjoy with the sun on the patio. The greeting area has warm baked cookies for their guests to enjoy among other treats. We loved it so much that we are definitely inspired to return again.

Palihouse Santa Barbara is an interesting and unique lodging experience. Very convenient to State Street within easy walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The property is compact, but beautiful and well maintained. The rooms are large and immaculately clean. The decor is quirky, which I think people would either love or find a bit underwhelming. We loved the full sized stocked fridge, fireplace, and large glass doors opening to the balcony. We wished there was more comfortable seating on the balcony itself. Some rooms had comfy lounge chairs, but ours had only 2 small camp benches that were not meant to sit on for any length of time. It would also be helpful to add some type of dresser as there is no place to put clothes other than a tiny dresser in the closet. The lack of outlets/usb ports required some creative rotating of devices, but we made it work. The bed might be polarizing as we found it too soft, but many other reviewers enjoyed it. Overall, we had a very nice stay, but for the price we expected a bit more in terms of amenities and decor.

This is a great find in a very convenient location. The room was great, and we would go back. One little thing: the AC thermostat could not be set lower than 70 degrees. The room was a bit warm for us for sleeping and we would have liked to be able to lower it a degree or two.
