Beware of bed bugs at this hotel. After returning from dinner we pulled back the bedspread and to our horror found bed bugs crawling up the pillow! At 11pm we were contacting nearby hotels, packing up and moving to a clean room elsewhere. more
We only stayed one night in Santa Barbara en route to LA, so we looked at a couple of motels and hotels in the area (don't be afraid to ask to see the room and then go take a look at others nearby - the first one you see usually isn't the best value, or it may even help you... more
Unlike some of the reviews I read, I found this hotel to be clean and comfortable. I booked this hotel for 2 rooms and 5 nights before reading any of the reviews and was ready to cancel it after I read the reviews. Luckily I did not cancel. We arrived to find a nice looking hotel with an elevator and... more
These people are incompetent. When we arrived, they had lost our reservation. Then they walked us into a room with sleeping people in it. Afterwards it was impossible to get a receipt for reimbursement. THis has been a nightmare. more
We were looking for a way to celebrate my 50th birthday, and without having ever been to Santa Barbara, we booked this room based on the information we received from a tourbook. They described it as a 3 star small scale hotel. We beg to differ. Although the hotel was the winner of the landscaping award, the back entrance of... more

The clerk said there wasn't really a view from the hotel, but she would put me in a front room facing the street. This would have been quite... more
It was one of the only hotels left on a holiday weekend that had a room available at the last minute. We stayed in a room that was close to the outdoor stairs so there was lots of noise from other hotel stayers. The rooms were small, old, and the refrigerator made noise. The room was not that clean and... more
I spent a restful night at the Mason Beach Inn--restful enough that I slept a couple hours later than I usually do! The street and the hotel were quiet, especially on the night after the holiday. It is true that the hotel is walking distance from Amtrak, I walked it with a heavy suitcase. It's also walking distance from downtown,... more
The property is close to the beach and located in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was clean and pleasant but small and the bathroom was cramped. On the internet the room rates were $107.00 to $189.00. Our stay was $229.00 for Saturday because it was a holiday weekend and it really wasn't worth the price. We found the lady desk... more
