酒店價格不菲，但是房間不大沒有浴缸且沒有面海的景色，大部分錢都是交在這個地理位置和精緻裝修上。酒店停車也是要錢的，各項服務沒有啥免費提供的，所以七七八八算下來7、8千一晚的酒店真的沒什麼性價比可言。
當然也是有點歷史和設計感的，確實不少有錢人住，但如果想真正享受有錢人的感覺，最好得訂超過一萬一晚的房間，否則你會跟我一樣後悔錢扔水裡了。
不要説我窮酸沒見世面，我搬出去在聖巴巴拉downtown也住了，LA等其他地方都住了，沒有對比沒有傷害。衹能説不嫌錢多可以住，畢竟還是豪華酒店，不會不舒服，衹是你那點小錢買不來高貴，別跟我一樣被小紅書推銷給迷了眼就行。

Gabby (manager) and the rest of her staff did everything to make our 10th wedding anniversary something special. I truly plan on making this trip to SB and staying at Hotel Californian an annual trip.
The proximity to the beach was incredible. The rooftop pool has an incredible view. I took my time selecting a hotel that would make this a special weekend. And there was definitely some concern prior to arriving that my expectations would not be met. But with Gabby’s guidance, our stay felt special and classy. I would highly recommend staying here.
