5. Across the street from Santa Barbara's beautiful palm-lined beach, just a few minutes walk to the town center of State Street, the Mar Monte is a mid-range tourist class hotel that is showing its age in terms of design, and slightly in terms of materials (linens, interior furnishings, etc), but the friendly staff that runs it and the comfortable easy-going spirit of the place made it a good stay.
