This was our first visit to Santa Barbara and the Inn by the Harbor was a perfect place to stay. The location is not on the water, but it is only a short walk (10-15 minutes) to the restaurants and attractions on State Street or down by the water. The property and rooms are clean and well maintained. The location... More

We were originally booked in to stay 4 nights but my father suffered a stroke and had to have brain surgery and was hospitalised for 7 days, so my mother and I had to extend our stay by 12 nights. The staff couldn't have been more caring or helpful. Breakfast is great and plentiful, late afternoon cheese and wine is... More

We stopped off in Santa Barbara for the evening on our way to San Diego. Fantastic staff, they are one of the most friendly and helpful staff I have met! Very nice touch with the wine and cheese hour, cookies and milk in the early evening and a simple breakfast in the mornings. It adds to the coziness of this... More

I would echo what everyone has said about this Hotel. Staff were brilliant, with a welcome drink and cookies as soon as we arrived. Breakfast was very good. The room we got had two queen beds in and was well appointed throughout with a kitchen where you could have cooked your own food, everything was supplied. We only stayed one... More

We were directed to the... More

When we arrived at this location it looked so different to the photos on the website that we almost didn't recognise it. This is very much a motel and not a hotel, but once we got inside we were pleasantly surprised. Our room (42) was very large with a huge bed, dining area and small kitchen. It is also one... More

Over priced and VERY poor value. Rooms clean but desperately need modernising. Breakfast in hotel foyer - if you can find a table - and paper plates and plastic cutlery. Not what you expect for $270 per night ! Glorified low class motel. More

Stayed here on the first night of a California road trip so didn't really have the opportunity to make the most of the facilities here. Really great welcome, great tip on where to eat, reasonable sized room with comfortable beds, pretty decent continental breakfast for what we paid. Overall good value for money. Would certainly recommend. More
