I stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend during the first week of April. I stayed in a suite with a king sized bed, kitchen, and fireplace. Everything was great. Great price, great facilities, great location, great breakfast, great staff. I was originally going to stay at the Mar Monte across the street for more money, but after checking... more

Surrounded by much more expensive properties, this hotel is one short block from the beach. The pier is @ a 15 minute walk. The main downtown is a stretch, but possible on foot. The neighborhood is quiet. The property is "no frills" but the manager, Frank, is just a joy to deal with and a fount of information. He also... more

We set out to stay 2 nights in Santa Barbara at the Inn at East Beach and only just managed to drag ourselves away after 4 nights. The place is clean, friendly and in a great location just off the beach and 15 minutes stroll to State Street. The owner Frank is the most helpful and pleasant hotel owner I... more

My family and I just got home from our week in California. I had to write this review first because I think there needs to be a little more honesty about this property. We stayed at this hotel for two nights, two adults with two teenage sons. Frank is, as everyone will attest to, the nicest innkeeper ever but this... more

We had an overnight stay here en route from Cambria to Las Vegas. Arrived late afternoon/ early evening. Frank was very jovial and welcoming. We had a real laugh with him. He gave us lots of leaflets and magazines about the area upon our arrival. Car park at rear, with open ground next to it, wondered about safety, but no... more

After reading reviews of this hotel from Trip Advisor, we booked a two night stay at the Inn at East Beach. Location is fine...but the hotel is dated and our room was tacky. The room had worn furniture and lamps and could have used a good carpet clean. Bed was comfortable and clean. We paid $150 per night but next... more

I was surprised when reading reviews that the Inn at East Beach ranked so highly for Santa Barbara Hotels at such a reasonable price. True, as the reviews state, Frank is a wonderful daytime "frontman" for this modest property. Beyond that , however, this place can best be descibed by "1960s California motor lodge funky". After check-in, one must navigate... more

I thought the location was great.. just steps from the beach. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The continental breakfast was excellent. I felt I was at a gourmet coffee shop. The room was a generous size, the bed very comfortable and my head just sank in the numerous pillows. I would definitely say here again. Very reasonable and... more

Stayed here over a year ago and unfortunately didn't get round to writing a review then. However I have just seen that this hotel is number 2 in SB and like a previous poster I just can't understand why it is. Yes, Frank is friendly, but that didn't make up for the leaking toilet, dark damp room, dirty looking swimming... more
