The hotel is right across the beach. Try to get a room with an ocean view it is the best. We were on the first floor with an outside patio that had an ocean view. Beautiful ocean view. The rooms with the "mountain views" give you views of peoples houses and are not really mountain views. Beds are super comfy.... More

We booked a seaview room and that's exactly what we got. The hotel is as close to the beach as you can get in Santa Barbara. It's across a road but its not a busy road so it doesn't ruin the experience. The rooms are large and comfortable, a little dated but good value compared to others in Santa Barbara... More

My husband took me on a mother's day get away and he picked the perfect spot, from the wondeful staff, to the view from my balcony that was breath taking. i will recommend this hotel to all my friend and family a must see.

We stayed there for one night, had our 2 month old infant with us and staff was exceptionally pleasent, and made sure we were comfortable. The hotel is in a prime spot, sure there's road noise during heavy traffic times, however you can of beat the location. It will be undergoing renovations soon so I can't wait to see the... More

And REALLY enjoyed it! I love SB and this helped my few day get away! Drove up the coast to get away! and the city and this place helped me relax and enjoy my time! Great & clean place to stay AND really cool people who are there! I am not sure they could have been more polite to me,... More

The Inn is perfectly located, across from the beach, within walking distance to the Wharf, restaurants and activities. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean. On-street parking was easy during our stay in early May, an alternative to the valet parking provided at the Inn. The breakfast was a bit skimpy, but the breakfast room was elegant with a beautiful view.... More

We stayed for our anniversary at the end of April and overall the Inn was good. The pros are the proximity to the Beach (at least in Santa Barbara the hotels are across the street, not directly on the beach). the nice size of the room, and close bike rental places nearby, the beach path across the street for biking...

The only good thing about the Santa Barbara Inn is the location: great ocean view. However, it is in need of considerable updating: it is literally falling down. We were in the "penthouse" which gave us a bird's-eye view of the dilapidated roof and the HVAC systems. The suite was huge but sparse, and the bedroom was on the back... More

Ok, so we booked this place for two nights because we wanted to get a taste of luxury in Santa Barbara. i have to admit this this really was the most best choice we could have made. Great staff, complimentary taxi service and amazing decor. The Santa Barbara Inn is located right by the beach, so after breakfast we would... More
