The Spotlight on Orange Tree Inn

Relaxed Comfort Close to Santa Barbara's Music Scene

Modern yet laid-back, the Orange Tree Inn is a no-fuss, budget-friendly hotel located just off State Street in the heart of Santa Barbara. With its easygoing vibe, palm-lined outdoor pool and sun deck, and cozy rooms with free Wi-Fi and cable TV, this spot offers a great balance of comfort and convenience—just 2 miles from West Beach and a short drive from several local music venues.
Whether you're in town for a concert or a weekend getaway, this simple and sunny stay has everything you need to enjoy your time in Santa Barbara without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes away from downtown Santa Barbara’s popular music venues, the Orange Tree Inn places you within easy reach of the action without being caught up in the post-show crowds. Guests appreciate the quiet location after a loud night out, along with the 24-hour front desk for late check-ins and the convenience of free parking—especially valuable if you're driving in for a show. Plus, with check-in starting at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s a bit of flexibility for late risers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a laid-back, affordable base near venues
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see performance
  • Couples turning a concert night into a weekend escape
  • Fans who want a quiet space to unwind post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a central location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're just a short walk or quick drive from plenty of late-night dining spots on State Street. There’s also coffee-making facilities in every room—perfect for those post-show mornings—and several cafes nearby open for late breakfasts.

Nightlife Options

If you're not quite ready to call it a night after the encore, downtown Santa Barbara offers bars, lounges, and craft breweries all within a few minutes’ drive or Uber ride. While the hotel doesn’t have its own bar or live music, its location makes it easy to dip in and out of the vibrant Santa Barbara nightlife scene.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and especially the value for money. Many reviews highlight the central location and free parking as standout perks. Travelers also appreciate the pool and the relaxing patio area for winding down before or after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is on the older side, so don’t expect luxury finishes. Some guests note that the rooms could use a bit of updating, and soundproofing isn’t perfect—light sleepers may want earplugs if staying on a busy weekend.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, convenient, and laid-back place to crash after a night out in Santa Barbara, Orange Tree Inn is a solid choice for concert-goers.

Terrible hotel, couldn’t find the...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Our room had only small frosted windows near the ceiling, a patio with table and chairs surrounded by cement blocks. Staff was rude. No t.v. No parking available.Most of the outlets didn’t work. The iron didn’t work and the ironing board fell over upon use. Worst of all, the sheets were damp.

I’ve made a mental note...

Liked: The lobby was well stocked and it is in a nice location
Disliked: It was very run down and the pool furniture was very dirty (gum, stains, and dead grass-dirt areas surrounded it). The handrails are rusted and need painting. It was over $300 per night and felt like a cheap roadside motel.

Liked: Loved this accommodation. Was in a great location, the pool was clean and big. The room was spacious and the balcony was a great addition. 15 minute walk from the centre of Santa Barbara and free parking. The staff were extremely friendly and had free coffee made every morning!

Pleasant and fair value.

Liked: Good location. Short walk to downtown.
Disliked: Pillows could stand replacement. Bed was comfortable, but being on a metal framework made it very noisy when getting into bed or moving while laying down.
