ACCOMMODATIONS
Hotels/rentals in Santa Barbara can be expensive and fill up quickly this time of the year (graduations, running races, summer break). We highly recommend that you book your accommodations early.
1) RENTALS - A nice variety of rental homes and apartments can be found through Airbnb (www.airbnb.com) or Vacation Rentals By Owner (www.vrbo.com). For Airbnb, use referral code "aendozo" when you create a new account and receive $25 off your first booking. Note: If you don't plan to rent a car, we suggest focusing your search in or near downtown Santa Barbara (AKA lower State Street).
2) HOTEL BLOCK - We have reserved a block of hotel rooms at the Hyatt Santa Barbara for our wedding guests at a negotiated rate of $249/night (double occupancy). There is a 2-night stay minimum on Saturday nights, so you would need to book Friday & Saturday or Saturday & Sunday nights to receive this rate. To make your reservation, please use the link below or call (402) 537-6806 and mention "Endozo Roth Wedding". Please book by May 4, 2015 to ensure availability.
