Pet-Friendly Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort with Stunning Views From Every Room

Last year, around Thanksgiving, we tried to use our Hilton Honors points to stay at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, but the rooms were fully booked. We decided to try again this year in August and luckily, we were able to score a room with 2 queen beds and a patio. We were especially excited to stay here because we were bringing our fur babies, Zooey and Kuma, with us to spend the weekend in Santa Barbara.

I recently attended the Adobe MAX conference at the San Diego Convention Center (if you're a creative, you need to go!) and since it was a packed event, most of the hotels near the convention center were full.  Thankfully, Sofia Hotel had a room available and I'm so glad they did because I really enjoyed my stay here.
