The hotel is in a great location basically on State Street. The only slight problem is the street gets a little loud when the bars let out. This didn't bother us, but it may bother some. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Free breakfast is the standard HIE buffet. The rooms are small, but don't feel it. The have... More

We stayed for two nights and were disappointed by the state of our room which was in need of renovation. The bathroom fan had to be disconnected as it was so noisy. The hotel was busy and noisy and Santa Barbara was a big disappointment being full of vagrants and beggars. We will not go back, it was the only... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express when we visited Santa Barbara in September. We thought it was a decent hotel. The best part was the location.
