Close to the Mission. Nice area.

We asked for the two room family suite - a king in one room and 2 queens in the connecting room. The rooms were very spacious and had a large shared balcony overlooking the central court an pool area. The pool was olympic size, great for laps at the end of the day. Located on upper State Street, it was very close to the Santa Barbara Mission. The downtown restaurants and shops would be a bit far for most to walk, although I enjoyed the two mile stroll through the lovely neighborhoods.
