Bath Street Inn, hotel in Santa Barbara

In Santa Barbara, this Victorian B&B is less than a mile from the Arlington and Granada theaters.

What a fantastic little BnB, very traditional, and so quaint. We stayed in the Balcony Room and it was just adorable. The hosts were so lovely and accommodating, the room was just fantastic, very cute old home family feel. The bed was comfy and the property leave out tea, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh made cookies every afternoon. We were ok for 1 night, but the bathroom was very small - although it had an excellent shower. Parking on the property and in walking distance to town. Really, fantastic, would recommend.
