We were pleasantly happy with our stay at the Inn at East Beach on MLK weekend. We were in town one night. Parked in a nice, spacious and free parking lot, and walked 5 minutes over to the Santa Barbara Zoo, had dinner at the Harbor, went to the Sea Center/Aquarium at the end of the wharf, and even joined...

This property is the best it possibly can be. They took an older motel and turned it into a first-rate boutique hotel property. The rooms are appointed beautifully, furnished perfectly to make a comfortable environment. The location is close to perfect, one short block from the beach. But the service from Frank sets this place apart. Clearly, operating this property... More

My husband & I stayed here the weekend before Halloween for three nights. After debating between here & the Hyatt (across the street), we choose The Inn at East Beach because I got the junior suite with the kitchen for the same price as a standard room at the Hyatt. Frank was very very welcoming. They also provide a continental... More

We showed up early in the afternoon and the staff had no problem letting us check in early and get to our room. We had room 132, and it was great. Right above the pool, I was tempted to flash back to my teenage years and jump from the balcony into the deep end. The set up of the place... More

My partner and I stayed here on our stopover from San Fran to LA. We initially intended on only staying one night but were won over by the fantastic beach location and amazingly friendly staff so booked for another night. Great breakfast - 'grab a tray and fill it up and then come on back for more' was my introduction!... More

This was our pitstop between SF and LA. We got in to the most friendly greetings of Christina and check in was so fast and efficient. I got out of reception under 5 mins with dinners recommendation, room keys, direction to car park, quarters for machine and where/when breakfast will be happening. The room was huge and beautiful. Whoever decorated... More

Hop, skip and jump from East Beach, which was a huge plus. Loved the staff; Frank and Christina were terrific. Very good continental breakfast. Clean rooms and comfy beds. We all slept well. Wish there was a hot tub to go with the pool. Only minor complaint is that the toilet paper was as thin as you'll find anywhere. I... More

The facility is obviously older - but it appears a lot of thought has been given to upgrading the fixtures, bedding, window coverings, etc. And the owner gave us a very warm greeting and went to a lot of effort to make us feel welcome. But the lack of a desk - or any kind of table - was a... More

This is a great place, nice big rooms with a fireplace, big bathroom and a large dressing room. Frank - the manager is great, very funny and full of helpful tips. The only down side is it's a little out of the way for the main part of town. More

My SIL lives in SB so we travel here once a year. The hotel we used to stay at changed owners and raised their rates. I'm not totally in love with Inn at East Beach. Frank was wonderful! Friendly, great with my son. Breakfast in the morning was amazing. All this for the reasonable price of my night stay? Such... More
