This my favorite stop in Santa Barbara. I break up the drive to Orange County with a stop here. It is always clean with large fluffy white towels, coffee, pastries and banana bread for breakfast. The location is great within walking distance to great restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car again. It is good for pets. There are nice walking parks, strictly on leash, near by. Plus easy access to the freeway. I enjoyed the Black Friday special on the Monday after Thanksgiving! It was a great deal!

Quietly elegant yet home-like, my experience of Palihouse was a delight. The staff are all—to a person— kind and welcoming, and the vibe is warm, familiar, well-curated and much like a club of which you’re a long-time, valued member. The room was very spacious, extraordinarily well-appointed, quiet, and comfortable. A private taste of SoCal at its best; I’ll definitely be returning.
