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.

The room itself was fine but had outdated carpet and scratches on the walls.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

As a family of four travelling through Santa Barbara on a tour of California, The Lemon Tree was one of our favourite places that we stayed. From the moment we walked into reception and the helpful friendly staff greeted us to when we left the accommodation was perfect. The pool area and surrounding gardens were beautiful and well maintained and the room was large, clean and comfortable- thank you for a wonderful stay. The Fox Family

Clean room and friendly staff. Our only complain is at one time, the cleaning staff forgot to replace our towels. We had to go to the front desk to ask for towels. In addition, they no longer provide tissues in the room.

I have stayed at The Lemon Tree a number of times. Very pleased. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean. Amenities (shampoo, lotion conditioner are a plus. I love the downstairs units where there is a paradise-like atmosphere sitting outside on semi-private patio with accessibility to an inviting enclosed pool area and restaurant. It would be perfect if the coffee was stronger and if there was a microwave in each unit.

It has a great location. Has a lot of restaurants near by. It’s close to the Santa Barbara Mission, the Natural History museum, and the botanical gardens. The property needs some renovations but if you’re ok with staying in an older hotel then this is your spot. Personally, our room smelled a little old, paint was coming off the walls and the bed had a metal box spring so it made noise every time you moved. Other than that, it was pretty decent to stay the night. We were out most of the day either way.

Didn't use the amenities but every room faces the pool and it looked crystal clear. Lots of patrons out there enjoying it. The room was clean, although fixtures were a little old but didn't mind that. Overall, was a great value and a comfortable stay. I would definitely come back.
