I stayed at the Santa Barbara Inn for four nights in October, 2009. My room was quiet and nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable. It is located in a scenic location, right on Cabrillo with an unobstructed view of the Ocean across the street. From my perspective there are negatives about the place: 1. There is no air conditioning.... more

Stayed here for one night. The room was large, but the furnishings were very dated. The tv was small and probably 20 years old. The bed linens were nice. The location was nice. The room felt like it could have been cleaner. Rooms in Santa Barbara are expensive, so this is a decent deal, as long as you are ok... more

The Inn was comfortable, clean, quiet and close to the beach. We stayed for two nights and the service and staff were excellent. The location was great and the room was terrific. more

We stayed for three nights. It is a wonderful location, across from the ocean. You can get the trolley nearby to go downtown. There is valet service for your car. All the employees were very nice. The rooms were GREAT! Each night someone turned down the duvet and put out the terry robes and a box of chocolates. The continental... more

Had a nice two night stay at the Santa Barbara Inn. Newly remodeled hotel and rooms, clean rooms and nicely done. Rooms seemed reasonably priced at $170/night for ocean view. Hotel not crowded on Mon/Tues night, staff let us choose room we liked the best. Not a lot of amenities, small pool but with beach across the street ok with... more

We just spent one night in Santa Barbara on the way home from vacation, so we didn't have reservations. We didn't want to spend a lot since we just needed a place to sleep. Went to Cabrillo Inn first and looked at rooms. Smelled like smoke, so filthy, and 169.00. We decided to try the Santa Barbara Inn because we... more

this hotel might be fine if your expectations are easily met. To be fair I stayed here in 2001, they may have updated the rooms since I stayed there. I had a pleasant visit but it was pretty expensive for what you get. Reminded me of a nice Best Western. Smallish rooms, the pool is ok . The room had... more

Great location. The beach is right across the street. The pool was fun too. Found a lot of EU travelers there. It is very much a MOTEL setting, which made the nightly cost hard to swallow. You do hear traffic noise a little. Rooms were okay as far as cleanliness - there was a little mold in bathroom. Wasn't too... more

This was our third visit to the Santa Barbara Inn and it was delightful. We usually bring our small bikes, but this time we just walked along the beach, which is right across the street and had a great time at the Farmers Market DT. Just went for one night and was upgraded to an ocean view since it was... more
