What really makes this spot great though is the location because it's right in the middle of a bunch of good food options. Our favorite? Dargan's Irish Pub, just downstairs from the parking lot. It's super convenient, and when they first open, it's nice and quiet, perfect if you want to get a little work done, sip a drink, or just chill with some apps while your car powers up. Honestly, it's more than just a charging stop now because it's part of our road trip ritual.

As with almost all city lots here, it's free for the first 75 minutes, then $2 per hour there after. There are 12 charging ports with speeds up to 250 kWh. The garage is half a block from downtown's State Street with Paseo Nuevo and all the shopping/dining options. I have a feeling it's going to be a busy option since there's usually only 3-5 available chargers on a Saturday. Great for the city and drivers!

We kept hearing how authentic their food is, and they also have a delicious menu of Matcha and Cafe Specials. After walking in and noticing all the other food options, we all split up to visit the other spots within, and we then met at one of the many communal tables to share each other's selections. At our large table we had food from Corazon Cocina, Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodles, Wabi Sabi, Little Bird Kitchen, and Que (West Coast BBQ). They all paired nicely with draft beers and cocktails from Cooney's at the Market, and we even got desserts from Rori's Artisanal Creamery. Staff at each venue was very helpful making food suggestions, and even pointed out some of their own favorites there at the SBPM.

It also comes with rice, half marinated egg, cucumber, carrots , and three veggie side dishes. A full meal without the need to do much thinking. Next is the ca'dario pizza, we got the parma pizza. I cannot stop eating it... maybe it is the crust Want to try the rori's artisanal creamery. There was a "be backed" sign on the register. We Waited for 10mins or so and had to go.

First time in Santa Barbara!!!…read more This weekend was my wife's 40th birthday and to celebrate, we wanted to get out of town for the weekend and visit somewhere neither of us had ever been. In enters the idea of Santa Barbara. First thing we noticed when looking into hotels was everything was very expensive. I think this was exacerbated by graduation weekend and being a holiday weekend. We settled on Inn by the Harbor after looking at other options and it seemed small and quaint but like a beautiful property and it affords its guests with free parking. Traffic coming up from San Diego was atrocious from the moment we reached LA, but after five and a half hours we made it! It felt good to get out and stretch and we made our way to the lobby. The front of the resort is small but beautiful and has a very Spanish appearance. It was very green and beautiful as well as being centrally located being close to the harbor and the funk zone. We were greeted by Sam who got us checked in quickly, gave us a rundown of the town and even offered us complimentary beverages after he saw that it was my wife's birthday. Sam was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We made our way to the room on the inner portion of the complex and the greenery was very welcoming as we approached the door to our room. The room was small, but furnished nicely, had plenty of storage space, a TV, microwave, AC and a small area near the bathroom where my wife could get ready. There were windows on the front and rear of the room which allowed plenty of natural light which was also nice. The maids were also very friendly when we'd say hello as we were coming and going. We were very comfortable during our stay and it appears they take good care of the complex and the rooms. Although we didn't partake, I also appreciate the fact that they have complimentary breakfast as well as a wine and cheese happy hour in the afternoon. Checkout time was 11am which was plenty and it was nice not having to call for a late checkout. As previously mentioned, this was our first trip up to Santa Barbara but if we find ourselves up here again, I would have no question on where to stay. It's a nice inn and was only a 10-15 minute walk to wherever we wanted to go.

The EA charging station at BofA across the street had 4 EV cars in queue, which would set us back at least another hour or 2 hrs wait - none of the other EVs were fast charging (Hyundai Ioniq 5s are usually in and out in 20-30 min). Good location near entrance/exit and back on the freeway. Target store and mall across the street. Cons: we had trouble connecting on Benwen charging. None of our credit cards or app would work. Nearly gave up and decided to try the Trisha charging station.

We headed over around 11:30AM, right after checking out from our hotel. They are celebrating their 100th Anniversary. WOW!! Admission is $25 for adults and a bit pricey for what you get, in my opinion. It's definitely a beautiful place full of nature, greenery, fresh air, peace and zen. I was a little disappointed at the lack of flowers in the whole property. There were only some poppies on the meadow where you walk in and that was it. I also didn't like how there are literally no rangers or anyone to help you around the trails. I understand you are just on your own, but it's dangerous that there's no one to help you if something goes wrong. No First Aid Kit, either. I also remember them having a big, beautiful waterfall on the trail and it wasn't there this time. Why? They have free parking and there are some restrooms at the entrance and we saw one on the trail. They have a very nice gift shop with some snacks/refreshments, books, magnets, shirts, candles, artificially looking flowers, etc... We bought few gifts that my son and I liked. Got a nice fresh, clean scented Mango/Pineapple candle, ($25), an organic rose water spray to splash all over your body ($17), an interesting cooler can with crystal water that keeps your water cold in the fridge ($8). A 16 oz. can & a tiny white heart shaped magnet ($5.20), insanely expansive! I may or may not revisit in the future.

I saw Teslas and other model cars using this location but I was unable to make a successful connection without the assistance of a customer service agent. I had hoped to charge as a guest and just use my credit card but the (two) chargers would not maintain a connection. It took me downloading the app and creating an account and having the customer service agent completely reset the particular charger that I was using to make it work-- more than 45 minutes on the phone! Availability was good on a weekend evening and they did not seem to have a surchage if you stay connected past the 10 minutes after charging.
