I concur with Cabocurt review. The location is great, the personnel are friendly and helpful, but the prices are excessive for what you get - old rooms and bathroom facilities, under-average comfortable beds, less than comfortable feeling of cleanliness. The registration office is embarrassing, its like a cheap two-bit hollywood motel. When I stayed there in 1996 the prices were reasonable at $49. They should not be more than $75 now or really modernize the entire facility.

Property in excellent location. Management/staff friendly and helpful. Free bikes a huge plus.Nice little continental breakfast at restaurant next door. The rooms are OVERPRICED by 50 to 100 dollars.If the owners charged the correct prices.. 75.00 a nite instead of 129.00 to 199.00 there would be few if any complaints on this site. In this instance you DO NOT get what you pay for. Unfortunately this place could have everything going for it, but receives a 1star rating because of age, room size and condition... location can't overcome these factors.

This place is a DUMP! These people that say it's nice, DO not know what they are talking about. If you are going to Montecito, you have to have some level of class. This hotel doesn't have any. Paint chips, tile cracked, 10x10 cells. Anyone walking by the hotel you can hear, the rooms are paper thin. DON"T STAY HERE. It's better to stay in Santa Barbara and drive to Montecito. They give you a coupon for Continental Breakfast at the rest. below and you get there, and they have run out, so they give you a stale old crossiant and a warm piece of melon. YUM! The only thing good about this place is the location. The place is completely dirty and run down. Don't waste your money!

I am currently staying at the inn and I have only good things to say about this place!! It is so cute and charming!! As a Santa Barbara native and an individual who has stayed at many a places here, this is a favorite of mine. There is adequate parking, a wonderful pool and lots of patio tables and chairs in the charming setting to sit by. There is a beautiful fountain in the courtyard. The location doesn't get much better either. Within a few feet you have 5 star restaurants, shops, Starbucks, a Coffee Bean a grocery store and a liquor store - pizza place across the street. And this IS Montecito folks....look it up on the internet - it is a very wealthy community and you'll only recieve 5 star service here - anywhere you go in this town. The inn is a great place to stay if you are looking for charm, location and ambiance, I think it is supberb - nice and quaint - very small
