The staff helped us on a last minute cancellation due to some of our family members inability to travel due to the hurricane in Kauai. We are so very thankful and grateful for their understanding and compassion through this difficult time for our family! The location of the hotel was great! The only thing is that our shower curtain smelled like it wasn't washed :(

Nice little hotel for a great price. Loved that it had its own balcony. Probably only very minor negative was a lamp that was not plugged in because the cord did not reach. (suggest either get an extension cord or remove lamp.) and was hard to see controls for temp on the fridge. Did not use the pool but it looked nice.

The room was a double, it was very spacious. Clean. The sheets smelled wonderful. The pool was great. All kinds of sitting around it. The parking would be the only thing, but even that was ok. The elevator was across the place from our room, and the disabled parking was limited. My sister who was with me isn't very mobile, but she managed. I would definitely stay here again!

The Lemon Tree Inn was a perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara-close to everything but wonderfully quiet. It has a beautiful pool, excellent staff, very comfortable rooms. We will definitely come back here again!

We loved our stay here. We had a great time at the pool bar and the happy hour specials were great. The room was ready upon check in. Bed was comfy but the shower was a little lackluster. Overall though, it was great.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel was really well located. I could get up in the morning and walk to a lot of areas. The room was fine. The outside deck was nice. The patio pool area was beautiful. The bar and kitchen were good. My only area of concern was the bathroom the bathtub had a lot of mold and looked pretty gross so that just needs to be taken care of, but I thought the property was very nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room itself was fine but had outdated carpet and scratches on the walls. Definitely could use some maintenance but the first floor patio and bar/pool area is everything. Perfect hangout spot for family. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Beautiful property, clean large comfortable room! Our only complaint is that if you're not in a ground floor room then finding an elevator is a challenge to get to your room on the top floors

Hotel stay for 2 nights , clean older hotel . The elevator though was grimy , could tell they don’t mop or clean it inside. Room clean but only 2 towels for 4 people, just had to ask for towels. Nice pool area with plenty of chairs. Nice outside bar. Ate on patio outside the hotel restaurant - good food but not super busy and finally after 30 minutes had to flag down a waiter to take our order, even though they passed by us several times. Otherwise good price

6/10 Good

The bathroom was badly in need of repair. The jets in the tub were filthy and missing parts. The drain did not have a functioning stopper. The only option was a weak-stream shower, but a shower cap was not provided. The view was beautiful! Considering the condition of the property, it was overpriced.

Our family's second stay at Lemontree! Clean, simple hotel in the exact right spot in town. Can walk to lunch or dinner, close to all the fun stuff too. Simple parking. Thank you!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The lemon tree was great. The staff was very kind. I love the pool. I was out there the whole time. The rooms were clean; however, they could use an update. The bathtub had Jets that didn't work, and it looked very old. The hotel is old, so it probably needs more remodeling. They could also use microwaves in every room upstairs with a refrigerator, but not downstairs. They should probably have them in every room.
