i need to get out of the city. i was thinking about going to tahoe but never been in santa barbara before. i need to relax and the beach sounds likes a good idea to me.

i already check expedia but most places ask for a two days stay and i need just one night.

any place anyone recommend? im looking for something not too expensive but not too cheap, just a nice place to relax for a few days. and yes the suby is going

tks!

btw first time i post in SoCal. so im a newbie here :banana:

 

Take a short trip up to Solvang. It's only a 30-45 minute drive from Santa Barbara. It's a very small and quiet town, and the place has amazing pastries.

Try hotels.com for hotels? Sorry, I have no advice for hotel searching. Have fun on your trip!

 

Hotel beds are hard to find in SB on the weekend. All of L.A. lives there on the weekend ~ that is why I moved.

PM me your price range and I will tell you what I know!

 

tks. i'll try hotels.com to see whats in there. i want to go to santa barbara but i will keep in mind about visiting solvang.

also i want to go on weekend otherwise ppl from work will call me and i dont want that. price range will be something around 200-300. i can wait. doesn't need to be this next weekend anyway.

if you use hotels.com or any other website, try calling the hotel directly to see if they can match or beat the internet price. they may have a better cancellation policy than the websites too. hotels.com charges $25 for a cancellation, even if it's more than 24hrs before the stay.

 

Montecito Inn ~ Charlie Chaplain's old place. 5 minutes from Butterfly Beach, best beach in SB. It's in Montecito (ritzy suburb of SB) with Lucky's restaurant/bar right next to it... if your so lazy you just want to hang... good food, good people watching on a Friday/Saturday night. This is not a characterless motel/hotel chain, but a cool little place, not a whole lot of people know about.

 

great. i'll check that!

damn every date i choose is full... not a good idea to go without a reservation right?

 

B-A-D idea! You may not even get a bed @ Motel 6 in the summer. Stick with me, I might be able to help. Gotta take 'mommy' to dinner!

*** Oceana ~ great place with a lot of rooms. Right across the street from the pier and the harbor (with restaurants) and you can walk to State St. with shops/eats/bars and you won't get a DUI walking home ;-) ***

 

i'll check both.. tks for the info

 

SB was my home for 20 years before I moved up here to the 'Far North' as some yo-yo said!
