“Palihouse's Santa Barbara charm”
Palihouse Santa Barbara is a beautiful retro boutique guests call their favorite — incredibly-spacious well-appointed rooms each with a courtyard or balcony, a pretty courtyard and well-kept small outdoor pool, free bike rental and a rare free parking garage, a quiet spot near the main street's shops and restaurants about thirty minutes from the beach, and warm staff. Caveats though: one guest sat fifty-fifty on returning at the rate with a darkish room, a wedding reception once closed the patio with noise, and floaties can take over the small pool.
