Casa Jardin - Boutique Suites in Downtown Santa Barbara offers accommodation within 500 metres of the centre of Santa Barbara, with free WiFi, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven and a microwave. This apartment features free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The apartment has private entrance.

We stayed at Casa Jardin for 3 nights over a long weekend and it was perfect. Our room was small but well set up so that it didn't feel too tight. There was plenty of space for our bags and clothes, the bathroom was a good size and had nice amenities, and the room still managed to squeeze in a kitchenette. Location was perfect -- right near downtown, great tasting rooms, coffee, and food. We appreciated the included white noise machine, though the street noise was not too bad. Parking on site was easy and convenient. The check-in process was also very easy and the keypad on the door worked great so that we didn't need to carry a key around. I will definitely be recommending Casa Jardin to anyone I know traveling to Santa Barbara!

    Really nice motel right on State Street in Santa Barbara. You can tell that the room was recently renovated and it provided all the amenities we needed for a short stay. The bed was really really comfortable! You can also rent bikes from them for free, however we unfortunately arrived a little late and we just decided to walk into town.

    Lovely hotel! Very comfortable rooms and beds. Great to have a fridge. Access to ice and a microwave. So much staff to keep everything running and very clean! Breakfast was good. Location brilliant! Across the street was the harbour with the promenade ( for the daily run). Saturday hosts the local fish market. Lots of eateries around. If you want shopping and going out, that’s in walking distance, as is the beach and rental companies for kayaking/ fishing/ sailing…Happy to visit again! Thanks

    lovely property with Spanish courtyard and lots of greenery. Our room was a great size with 2 separate bedrooms. Felt like we had our own apartment which was perfect. close to state street too. Dog friendly property too, we brought our service dog but noticed the pet dog fee is only $20 which is very good for Santa Barbara
