We had to race home to Santa Barbara for a funeral for a close friend. I called the night before and was stunned to get a great room at a great price. The service was incredible, the rooms far greater then the price suggests, and location perfect. As a local, I cant recommend this hotel enough. The owners were on... more

I found your inn through AAA’s website. I typically book through them because I am a member and subsequently, receive a discount. I decided to call the inn for more detail. Linda answered the phone. She was exceptionally polite and kindly referred me to your website where I could attain the “California Dreaming” discount since I was staying two nights.... more

Ok it's not a Hilton or a five star Hotel so if that's what you're looking for than go somewhere else. But if you're looking for a charming motel, very clean rooms, nice pool, close to the beach, great breakfast, PERFECT staff and not too expensive compare to all the others, than STAY HERE !! more

The hotel looks like it recently received a makeover. The rooms are clean, but don't necessarily have much of a view. Our window looked onto another bldg I think so the windows were frosted. The other windows looked out to the pool area where it was a heavy traffic area so we had the curtains drawn. Otherwise, I have no... more

Used TripAdvisor to find this hotel and found discounted rate using Orbitz. Easy walk to the beach and the East Beach Cafe - great breakfast. Motel is old on the outside but was redone so the inside is totally up to date and a deal in pricy Santa Barbara. As for the free appetizer coupon at Chucks at the harbour.... more

The location of the Inn at East Beach is perfect but what makes this a top-spot in Santa Barbara for families is the amazing, personalized service and hospitality given by Frank and his crew. Frank went out of his way to welcome and then make our stay enjoyable every step of the way. We were allowed an early check-in (arrived... more

The Inn is not located at the Beach and does not have any lovely views from most of the rooms. For a better view you could stay at the Motel 6 for less money. The pool was extremely dirty and uninviting. The rooms were strangely decorated and not particularly comfortable. The General Manager Joe was a very odd character and... more

We could just eat Frank up: yum, yum, yum. Now we know why everybody loves him so much. He is such a charmer ~ so helpful . . . explaining so caringly how to cut bagels on the bagel slicer & so early in the morning. They even had donuts! LOVED the new 70s comeback look - our furniture was... more

I'm not thrilled to be adding another voice to the minority of Frank Detractors on this site, but I think it has to be said that he is not as universally appealing as a quick glance at these reviews might suggest. To be fair, there were no huge problems with our stay, just a series of minor disappointments: the remoteness... more
