If you want to have a very quiet time at your hotel, this is not the place for you. Frank is a very gracious and wonderful host who lives on site with his wife. He enjoys engaging with his guests. The rooms all open to the outdoors overlooking a pool. This can lead to a community type of feeling as... More

We discovered the Inn at East Beach by accident. Friends of ours getting married in Santa Barbara suggested the Inn because it was nearby to the Cabrillo Arts Center (where the Wedding would be held), as well as the beach and the Santa Barbara Zoo. I took “nearby” with a grain of salt. As a New Yorker, I find that... More

Stayed one night at the Inn at East Beach based on trip advisor reviews. This was a great hotel- clean, friendly, great location, and great cost! The owner let us leave our car in their lot all day after we checked out and let us borrow some chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys. Pros: -- the cost: we paid $180 with... More

Thanks Frank for the hospitality. Stayed here one night. Pro: - Lots of free parking - excellent breakfast included - good host - budget - clean Con - walls and ceiling are thin. You will hear 2nd floor footsteps and showers. Earplugs are provided through. Non issue for us.

Excellent staff (with that Aloha spirit) providing clean, well furnished rooms. In pricey Santa Barbara, this is a fairly priced location right by the beach. And you can have breakfast right on the beach. Ask Frank about that. If and when we are back in Santa Barbara, this will be our first choice for lodging.

Frank and Linda are wonderful hosts. No AC, still not bad. Continental breakfast was great, I usually don't like them, but this was good. One block from the beach. Great value, clean rooms, and good service what more could you ask.

The best thing about this hotel is Frank, the general manager. He is perfectly lovely and hospitable and so nice. Plus he makes really yummy jalapeno quiche! The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. My only drawback was that there wasn't a hairdryer in the room.

We arrived late in the afternoon after a long flight from Sydney Australia and a drive up the coast. Frank was very welcoming and gave us lots of restaurant vouchers and advice. Parking was free and our room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The room wasn't particularly soundproof but we were so tired we slept well. Included breakfast... More

We really enjoyed are stay at the Inn at East Beach and our visit to Santa Barbara. Frank really made us feel very welcome. They have a great continental breakfast with turtle eggs as Frank called them. He was kind enough to upgrade our room since I wasn't able to climb steps. Our room had a wonderful fire place that...
