    Nice hotel only a mile away from downtown Santa Barbara; a bit dated but spacious and very comfortable bed. Continental breakfast was also nice with a... good selection of breads, muffins and fruit. Would definitely come back. by Miguel  from Washington DC on 05/18/13

    A short guide to Santa Barbara

    Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is aptly called the “American Riviera.” State Street teems with stores, restaurants, and bars. Downtown’s Museum of Art is distinguished by its mission-revival style buildings. Seafood restaurants and ocean views draw locals and visitors to Stearns Wharf. The Old Mission is a reminder of California’s Spanish history.

    The staff were wonderful - front desk, maids, valet. Very attentive and informative. The balconies, though lovely, are not secure, so you can't sleep with your sliding door open. (Guests in other rooms have free (if you're in an interior corner room) or nearly free (all other rooms) access to your balcony.) The facility is in need of a makeover. The […] carpet in our room was worn and dirty. The awnings were tattered. The paint on the exterior window sills was cracked and peeling. Insufficient outlets in our room for our needs with all the electronics we travel with. Bedside lighting is not sleeper friendly - you need to get out of bed and fumble with a turning switch up near the lightbulb. All this said, we'd likely stay again if we visit for pleasure. We'll find another hotel if we need business services. Read more

    Very good location right on ocean but the inn needs upgrade and renovation - also the breakfast place could be converted into a medium service restaurant.

    The hotel is nice, no bar, but directly across from the ocean. It's a nice walk to the pier. Front desk was very helpful, as were the valet (only $7/night parking). The continental breakfast is located in a beach-facing dining hall with spectacular views. The only drawback was the bathroom in my room looked like it could use some work (wallpaper coming […] down, cracks in ceiling directly above shower and some grout was missing near the door - all cosmetic).

    Everything was great but for the price expected better breakfast options and service. They would periodically run out of various items too. But hey, the place sitting on the beautiful SB waterfront, within walking distance to downtown (but far enough from the crowds and noise), probably humble breakfast can be forgiven.

Tip: you have to pay to park because chances are if u come back to the hotel after 5 there's no street parking. Overall the room was just ok and I felt we overpaid

    I had to visit Santa Barbara on business and decided to stay here to make it more of a leasure trip after my meeting. Staff was great, valet is dirt cheap and helpful, front desk staff very friendly. The hotel is well kept and charming, though it is obviously an older property. It is close to the beach and has good views if you are on the beach west […] side of the hotel. The continental breakfast is very limited and not too pleasing. Over all good place to stay if you can get a room under $179. It is not worth anything more than that. Skip the conteinental breakfast. Read more

    Overall, I had a very nice stay over New Years' Eve. Reasonable price--even only booking a few days before. It had a nice vintage feel--not grungy, but cute/quaint. Breakfast was tasty with a to-die for view of the ocean. We took the shuttle for 50 cents to Downtown--convenient and across the street. Hotel staff was super friendly. But, I gave lower […] marks on cleanliness because I found a pair of boxers behind the bed while looking for a plug. Some of the grounds could be a bit cleaner/upgraded.

    Yes, the hotel is old and the bathrooms are in dire need of remodel (which I overheard the front desk clerks telling someone they plan to). But the room was clean, the views were superb, and you can't beat the price for the location. All of the staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. I didn't like being forced to valet park my car […] each time we came and went from the hotel, but that can be overlooked. Our room had a view of the beautiful mountains and hills, which was wonderful since we spent so much time at the beach looking at the ocean and I may not have noticed the hills. The breakfast was ok, just your typical continental breakfast, but the breakfast room had spectacular ocean views. I definitely recommend this place and actually will be sad when they remodel it because I probably won't be able to afford staying there again, lol! Read more

    Convenient location, friendly staff, nice hotel in Santa Barbara for a decent price. Buffet breakfast was perfectly adequate, especially considering it was included in the price. You do need to have windows open at night or the room does get stuffy.

    This beachfront property was state of the art when it opened in 1960. It has kept pace with the times since then, but with some lapses. On the plus side, there is free wireless internet, reasonably priced on-premises parking, flat panel HDTV service with extended cable, and a serviceable free breakfast in what was until recently an on-site restaurant. […] The balcony rooms have privacy awnings, vents as well as sliding glass doors and screens, and the rooms themselves are, like the movie starlets of the era, more generously proportioned than their contemporary counterparts. Beds were extremely comfortable. On the minus side, there is no AC (not a problem in November) and some of the walls and carpeting show some wear. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is not a boutique hotel, or one with a huge redecorating budget, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the hotel was perfect for our purposes. Read more

    Basically...it's a great location...but the hotel appears worn out. The carpet is worn, the rooms are adequate but outdated, the pool is okay but needs complete rennovation, use of parking valet was sometims a nuisance. Staff was friendly and tried.
