Pacific Crest Hotel

Top choice in Santa Barbara


Wonderfully friendly Greg and Jennifer make sure all guests feel at home at their boutique motel, close to East Beach and the zoo. Landscaped grounds welcome you, rooms are spacious (bathrooms are small but plans are afoot to enlarge them) and come in cool, neutral tones that provide a soothing experience.

Breakfast goes beyond the usual mundane hotel offerings with eggs and homemade cakes freshly made each day, along with a special coffee blend created just for the hotel. Enjoy them by the pool.

Electric-car charger is available.
