"This tiny two-story motel may be a bit kitschy, but who cares when you’re just steps from East Beach? Ask the affable owners for an upgraded room."

"This Hotel Indigo outpost offers services beyond those of your typical boutique hotel with a level of artistry many chain accommodations fail to deliver."

If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room on the beach rather than the train side of the hotel.

"A stay at Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara places you in the heart of Santa Barbara, steps from Reagan Ranch Center and close to Santa Barbara Museum of Art."
