“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.”

lovely stay

i was pleased with the early check-in provided by the front desk, and they also allowed me an extra hour at checkout. i had a beautiful king room facing the pool, complete with a nice balcony!
i wished there were options to control the lighting on the patio, as it felt quite exposed when i was out there, and i didn't want to sit in complete darkness.

Check-in was fast. The gentleman at the reception was nice. My room had patio doors that opened to the courtyard. I saw lots of plants, so the room felt big.
I thought my room had a microwave, but it did not have it.

Satisfied Stay
great foodlovely courtyardleaky toilet
I found the room size great. It had two beds and let us spread out. The room faced the lovely courtyard, and we used it at the start and end of each day. The restaurant provided great food and service.
The plumbing was not good. I had to move rooms twice because the first two rooms had very poor plumbing. The first room had a very leaky toilet, and it leaked from the side.
Location

The hotel had a perfect location near the areas I wanted to explore. I found it only one block away from an excellent coffee shop with plenty of room. I was very satisfied with the area.
