This hotel has an upgraded motel feel, but very well done. It recently had a face lift and the lobby, hallway and guest rooms are tastefully done. The location is excellent and the breakfast, which is included in the rate, is a simple continental type breakfast. quite adequate. Great views from the breakfast dining halls and great location central to... more

Santa Barbara was great but this was our WORST hotel of 5 hotels during 3 weeks in southern California - and we paid $425 a night for a 'suite' which was the 2nd most expensive in the hotel! Terrible at the price. This SHOULD be a good hotel - it was smallish with nicely decorated corridors. It was a bus... more

I was really worried after reading some of the reviews of the Santa Barbara Inn. We stayed Saturday and Sunday, June 14 and 15, for our daughter's UCSB graduation. Let me tell you, we were shocked! The rooms were lovely! The beds were extremely comfortable, with white duvets and great pillows! The carpets were gorgeous throughout the hotel, especially down... more

We stayed there this weekend and really enjoyed it. The room was ocean view and had a nice balcony to relax on. The bed was very soft and comfortable with nice linens. Bathroom towels were soft and fluffy. We enjoyed the continental breakfast. They had a nice selection. It wasn't just coffee and a danish or roll. They served fresh... more

This 'Inn' is definitely a motel...nice location, but our room (overlooking the parking lot and lovely large dumpster) made my skin crawl. I used Clorox wipes on everything but we were left with a dingy room, lumpy bed, filthy carpet, and noise. The constant horn honking I assume came from the valet locking and unlocking vehicles in the parking lot... more

A functional hotel - nothing special - in need of investment. Staff not particularly friendly. Only expensive valet parking (when you could park for free on road around the corner...). Beach over the road, but the main wharf and/or town centre is 30 mins walk away. Breakfast is a pastry, a granola bar and a bottle of tropicana. Manke sure... more

Reserved three rooms, all the same but when we arrived with the family on Thanksgiving, the front desk pulled a bait and switch and put one couple in Room 201 which is so small you bump into each other when you turn around. Also, it back right up to the elevator which produced constant noise all night long. Finally, went... more

This should have been the perfect hotel to stay in - the location is great, but it turned out to be a bad experience. Our room was very well used and badly in need of a makeover, dirty carpet, wall covering was threadbare, and actually peeling off in the bathroom. The supposedly white bed linen was gray and gave the... more

Hotel is 2 story with restaurant and bar on third. Beautiful furniture and decorating. Balcony facing ocean. Walk to individual winery stores (not their vineyards) Bar and restaurant have live music and ocean views. Pretty bar. Staff is full of info on restaurants, etc. Friendliest staff ever! Really enjoyed our time there. Taxi or mile + walk to downtown Santa... more
