Santa Barbara. So serene. So sexy. So expensive. So out of reach? No.
My husband, Joe, and I stayed in a partial ocean-view king room that had a flat-screen TV, free parking, free and functional Wi-Fi and a mini fridge. It was more spacious than the average hotel room — spacious enough to fit a small table and chairs. The wallpaper and decor were a tad outdated but well maintained.
I would describe the overall vibe as “retro California beach motel chic.” The website called my ocean view “partial,” but I could easily spot the Pacific right across the street. A three-minute walk got you to the beach. The room was $219 for Friday night and $239 for Saturday night. I stayed in August, which is, well, Santa Barbara doesn’t have a “low season” and “high season” as much as it has a “popular season” and a “very popular season.” The summer months fall into “very popular.” When I checked prices again for September and October, the merely “popular” season, weekends ran about $20 to $40 less per night.
