“The Pepper Tree Inn's tropical garden setting is a genuine surprise in Santa Barbara, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It strikes me as a comfortable base for both families and business travelers, especially with the thoughtful children's amenities and meeting spaces. I appreciate that they've made arrangements for guests to use Gold's Gym nearby, cleverly addressing the absence of an on-site fitness center.”
