“A pleasant Stay”

5/5 found this review helpful

The picture of the entrance on the hotel's web site made this place seem more upscale than it was. But the rennovated room we stayed in was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Its bath was a little small, and the only internet access was through one computer in the lobby. The location was great. The staff was helpful. And (for the area) it was a good price for the room.

I would not return to the hotel for the wine/cheese/cookie reception -- go to the store and get something better. But the continental breakfast surprised me by being a little above average (if you want a full breakfast, go to Esau's on State Street).

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed for one night and were pleased with the accompodations and the property. It is a spruced motel with a quaint courtyard area. The rooms were clean. If you are on the road they do have a washer and dryer available on the premises.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was. The room was excellent, as was the continental breakfast. Very clean and well maintained, although desk staff were just OK. Would definately recommend. Good value for what you get.

“Disappointed”

Inn by the Harbor

20 Aug 2005
2/8 found this review helpful

Stayed here 2 nights in August. We planned to stay longer but checked out earlier. The room was very old fashioned (we had a queen-queen deluxe).
The lady at the frontdesk, was not very helpfull. We had to print a e-ticket, we would'n't to pay for it, but she didn't let us.
The breakfast was ok.

“Great Place”

4/5 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Inn By the Harbor the last week of July. It was fantastic. The service was Grade A as all at the Front Desk were very helpful. The room was very nice, roomy, and comfortable. The contental breakfast was the best we ever had. A great selection of fruit, bagels, cereals, muffins, breads, boiled eggs, and coffee. The Cheese Wheel and wine was a very nice touch.

We will stay here again when we visit Santa Barbara again.
