Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Victorian inn with gardens in downtown Santa Barbara. Dogs of 20 lbs or less may be accepted case by case, with written approval before you arrive. It suits a small, quiet dog and an owner happy to arrange everything in advance.

Why it's in the collection

Downtown Santa Barbara and State Street are close for leashed walks. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden welcomes dogs on a lead, and Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry's) has the off-lead stretch.

Dogs are accepted case by case with written approval, so ask which rooms are offered and where your dog can join you in the gardens and at breakfast.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
