This hotel opposite the Pier is a real Gem. Warm and inviting greeting. The room was a little dated in decor but very comfortable, lovely bathroom and spotlessly clean. The room had a great balcony overlooking the pool and the esplanade and pier. Would have loved to have stayed another night or two to appreciate Santa Barbara's beauty. Great location... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely property, located at the foot of State St. in the center of Ol Town Santa Barbara. Just across the street, about a 2 minute walk is Sterns Wharf and a wonderful broad beach that extends for miles in either direction. The front desk staff is friendly and very helpful with lots of...

Booked this through hotwire. The standard room was a little dated, but very clean. The room itself was enormous with a small patio. We were offered an upgrade to an ocean view for $40, but we opted to stick with the standard room. Parking is $10 extra a day. Front desk staff was friendly. We were offered turn down service....

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for one night in January on our way to Palm Springs. The location is awesome as we had an amazing view of the beach and the harbour. The room was very clean and well equipped. I did find it a bit pricey for off-season at 264.00 plus taxes for a night, plus... More

We chanced upon Harbor View Inn and that bit of good fortune made us have the best 4 night stay in Santa Barbara. First of all the hotel is located directly across from Stearn's Wharf... within a 5 minute walk you have your choice of restaurants, bike hire company etc. The staff here bed over backwards to make your stay...

Wife and I had a 3 night get away at the Harbor View in Jan 12. Location is easily walkable to the main Santa Barbara attractions. Aside from motorcycle noise (when sliders to our deck were open) we could only rave about the place. Staff treated us great, easy in and out, will definitely stay there again. More

This is a very nice hotel located in the heart of the beach in SB. Beautiful property, clean rooms, nice beds. The front desk staff was OK except for the fact that they only checked us in for one night instead of two, they called asking when we planned to check out and after a few nice words kept us... More

We stayed here for one night on our way from LA to Monteray. What an amazing hotel and area. Unfortunately we only had one night so we couldn't use any of the hotel facilities. Recommend it! More
