Kid/ family friendly, across the street from the beach, walking distance to State street if you're looking for a nice 1-2 mile walk (one way). Very friendly and accomodating staff that actually smile. Food quality at the bar restaurant is good. Decent size swimming pool and nice views from all buildings. We will visit again. More

Upon arrival the bell staff and front desk were very helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the area and gave us plenty of tips on what to do while we were there. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. When I made the reservations I mentioned my wife and I were celebrating an anniversary. (I made the reservations a... More

This hotel is perfectly ok, although we expected it to be by the beach, yet there was a road between. So the seaside view from the patio was in fact to the road. But the rooms were large and comfortable, and the pool was great. In addition, the small details, such as Crabtree & Evelyn shampoos and especially the luxurious... More

In December 2011, my wife, daughter and I took a trip to Santa Barbara and stayed at the Fess Parker Hotel for 5 days. We are now planning our summer extended vacation in Santa Barbara and will stay at the Fess Parker Hotel again. Everything about the place is top of the line. The food was priced just right for...

We stayed here over Christmas. We have a 2 and a 4 year old. We had a fantastic time, a great location. We rented bikes and used the pool, it was a lot of fun. The only thing, the food was not great and the housecleaning was slow and sometimes did not come until really late in the day. Overall,... More

The Hotel location is perfect for beach, downtown, and resturants. If you like to walk, you never have to get back in your car. Rooms are looking a little worn, but clean. We were on the 2nd floor of a building without an elevator, so ask about this when checking in. More

We did not reserve a hotel in Santa Barbara and were not very well prepared. (at the time we did not know about the Biltmore) After looking around for some time the only property with Ocean view that more or less fulfilled our expectations, was the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort. Friendly welcome. Rooms available. After identifying HH, even a special... More

I was pretty surprised at how nice this hotel was, given that it's a Doubletree. Check-in went smoothly and we were greeted with warm chocolate chip cookies. The room that they had us in was huge, clean and very comfortable. The room had a very large balcony that faced the ocean, but unfortunately with all the fog that night we... More

Stayed here once before, and it was uneventful. The restaurant food was expensive so this time I paid $25 for them to remove the booze from the refrigerator so I can bring my own food. On my 1st night, I woke up suddenly to find a little black bug crawling on the pillow next to me. I grabbed a napkin,... More
