Hyatt Place, Santa Barbara: Certified Dog-Friendly Rank & Review
Hyatt Place Santa Barbara received a failing F Roch Rank. This place is a tough sell for dog owners. With a $75 per stay fee, you'd expect more than just a room to crash in. Dogs are barred from public areas, including the bar, restaurant, and even the terrace. Forget about leaving your dog alone in the room; it's not allowed, which means you're tethered to your four-legged friend 24/7.
The weight limit is a real kicker—50 lbs per dog, with a combined limit of 75 lbs for two dogs. This excludes popular breeds like Labradors, making it less than ideal for many dog owners. The lack of amenities is glaring; no dog beds, bowls, or treats are provided. You’ll need to bring your own gear, adding to the hassle.
On the plus side, there are public green spaces nearby, but the hotel itself offers no dedicated dog areas or gardens. The absence of dog-walking or sitting services means you're on your own for pet care. The staff's approach to dogs feels more like tolerance than genuine welcome, and the threat of additional fees up to $500 for disturbances is a looming cloud over your stay.
In summary, Hyatt Place Santa Barbara is not the place for a stress-free stay with your dog. The restrictions and lack of amenities make it a poor choice for dog owners. Look elsewhere if you want a truly dog-friendly experience.

Super nice and fun hike to some waterfalls, involves a lot of climbing and at some points get very steep! The falls can be dry depending on the time of the year.

The east fork of this trail is mostly shady with a few creek crossings and beautiful views toward the top. This loop has some steep sections throughout the hike with a few short scrambles, but as you get to the top the trail flattens out. There are a variety of small waterfalls along the trail, and they are best viewed after a heavy rain or during the winter months.
