“Lemon Tree Inn struck me as a place trading heavily on Santa Barbara charm, though some edges felt a bit worn. The courtyard and pool certainly aim for a relaxed vibe, and I can see the appeal for families wanting that resort feel without resort prices. Still, if you're after pristine modernity, this might not be your spot.”
