santa barbara hotels
Coming to Santa Barbara for the first time with my 2 kids, 8 and 10. Looking for a nice hotel on or very close to a beach? Any recommendations? I've been looking at the web sites of Fess Parker's Double Tree, Radisson Hotel, Hotel Oceana, The Inn at East Beach, Santa Barbara Inn and Harbor View Inn but I'm open to others.
thanks
thanks

Definately the Harbor View Inn. It's expensive, but right accross the street from the pier and East Beach. A few blocks away from State street shopping, and an immaculate hotel with large, upscale rooms with a beautiful pool area. We loved it and are going back this June.

The Cabrilla Inn at the Beach is right across the street from the beach - great location. It is not as upscale as some of the hotels that you listed, but for it's location, the pricing is much better. The rooms are nice. We have stayed there many times with our 2 kids and have loved it. It does book up during the summer fairly quickly, so don't know if you can get a reservation at this point. On their website you can also check out vacation villas (2 bd/2 bath) that you can rent by the week which are right next door, but have pool access at the Cabrilla Inn. www.cabrillo-inn.com

We stayed at the Fess Parker with our two kids and enjoyed it. Across the street from the beach. We walked to restaurants, to the wharf and downtown. You can also rent bikes or other wheeled vehicles right from the property.
