Harbor House Inn - Santa Barbara

Wish I could have stayed longer and would definitely come back and recommend to friends. Great place!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed the style and space of the room a lot. The lack of air conditioning was somewhat of a problem given the warm and humid evenings during our stay. We were forced to open all the windows which really depleted all privacy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They have free use of beach cruisers, towels and chairs which was a HUGE plus. We used […] them everyday and I even used one as my primary transportation to my work conference. Definitely would stay here again. Read more

If you think old is charming then you'll like it here. I prefer a better newer mattress and fixtures. No thanks on the basket of goodies. I'd rather have a better shower head.

This was the best night stay we had on a 10 day vacation. The gift basket was amazing, great service, free bike rentals, awesome decorated rooms. The best.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is quaint, small, and quiet. Wonderful comfortable sitting area and kitchen. Parking is marginal (tight) for larger vehicles, so we used street parking.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was a little skeptical about this Inn, because I am used to Hotels being at such a high quality and Inn's being a little farther down on the list, BUT we were blown away with the Harbor House. It was the easiest check in, i have ever had, and when you enter the room, it's like getting a big hug from your auntie you havent seen in ages, and she's opened […] up her house for you. It was fourth of July, so you can imagine how crazy it was getting around, but with free use of the bikes, we got in so much sight seeing that we never would have been able to do on foot or in the car.

Our bed was an antique. Awful! A hammock might have been more comfortable. We will NOT GO BACK TO THIS PLACE. Rip Off Room Rates!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our trip was short and sweet, just one night, and this hotel was exactly what we were looking. Good price, close to the water. Rooms are small, but adequate and clean. Front desk staff was helpful with dining recommendations. And we had a nice little basket of complimentary treats waiting for us in the kitchen when we checked in. We highly recommend […] this hotel.

Wow! What a great find. It's like being at home. Great place, friendly staff. Perfect!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very comfortable quarters though a little cramped for a tall person (I am 6'). Sheets of a good quality but towels a little on the small side. Bath products average but in room amenities such as a juices, fruits, homemade banana bread and coffee were a nice touch.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a very well kept inn. My only caveat is of the relatively small room. However, I think that the room that I reserved was one of their smallest and that the value was properly reflected in the lower price I paid. Perfectly comfortable for two people though and I think larger rooms are available. The staff was VERY attentive and helpful. There […] was a power outage created by crewmen of the power company that lasted into the wee hours of the night/ morning but the staff did all they could to comfort their guests with lanterns, candles and whatever else they could do. It was not their fault. (The power with lights and t.v. came blaring back on around 2:30am...lol) The completely full kitchen was great as we cooked in a couple nights. They do not provide a breakfast but do indeed provide a very nice basket that is almost a cornucopia. It is not a breakfast but is a meaningful attempt as a replacement in my opinion. Their gardens and planted flower pots were very nice to look at. I am very impressed with this little inn. Thank you to Harbor House Inn Read more

We loved this place. They have 17 rooms and each is unique. Described as a studio, our room was actually a 1 bedroom complete with small kitchen. There was a lovely gift basket on the table with assorted breakfast items. Several kinds of juice, yogurt product, biscotti and homemade banana bread. Furnishings are eclectic antiques but it was obvious everything […] was well planned with TLC. We were in room 107 which had a sleigh bed. My only complaint is that the matress had a fluffy 2"pad on the top. It was too high for me, and I am 5'6". I felt like I needed a step stool. Also prefer a little more firmness, Well located and overall, a very pleasant experience. Read more

My first room had thin walls. A crying baby kept us up in the middle of the night. However, the next day, the staff quickly moved me to a detached, beautiful, wood-floored studio with a large closet and kitchen, stocked with silverware and wine glasses. Loved it. Staff were very helpful. Location is a very quiet neighborhood, and just next to the bay. […] I recommend it. I would return. Read more

Harbor House Inn is the most charming hotel I have visited in many, many years. The welcome basket was incredible! The Queen suite included a ktchen and a sitting room, all decorated with a unique and interesting classic style. It was far more than I expected based on the online description.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice place. Tucked into the neighborhood, quaint place just a block from anywhere. Close to fantastic dinning, bar and grills and the beach. If you are a biking enthusist, the bike trails start right at the hotel. We will stay there again next time we visit Santa Barbara.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very clean, convenient, nice goody basket. Great little kitchen. Free bicycles to ride to the beach. A good deal at a relatively expensive destination.

This boutique hotel is beautiful and central to the beach, sightseeing, tons of restaurants and shuttle services to shopping. Lovely furnishings made it look more like an upscale bungalow than a hotel room. Helpful, kind staff and pretty courtyard, too!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is delightful and clearly loved by the owner because it so well cared for. You go back in time to another age when you stay here. The bedroom is normal size but there is also unexpectedly, a cozy fully equipped little kitchen complete with a proper coffee maker and real coffee and a basket of supplies; ideal. The location is perfect for a […] short walk to the beach, main street and the wharf, but also nice and quiet. Highly recommended. Read more

Great location, one block from the beach and two from State Street. Love the suites and the extra personal touches. THe only thing I would like is either airconditioning or a fan in the sleeping area. The room was extremely hot.

Genuine Expedia guest review

What a pleasant surprise among so many choices. Location, decor,furnishings, cleanliness, staff ALL delightful & above expectations. Having bikes to ride along beach walk was a bonus, but what put them above the others was the" breakfast basket" that welcomed us in the room. A very special place!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We came to Santa Barbara for our anniversary and were immediately impressed with this place. Its in a perfect location a block from the beach. The service was great and we loved the complimentary banana bread. Only 2 downsides: the thin walls allow you to hear the neighbors and bed was the noisiest ever! Anniversary, so hello?! The whole neighborhood […] looked at us funny when we left! Overall, great place. Try it out. Read more

For the most part we have stayed in numerous hotels. This place was a great. The room really enlighted the feeling of the true Santa Barbara family city. We also agree the gift basket with the banana bread was a nice touch. The personel was helpful and perfect with their directions. The bicycles use for beach access was just excellent!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We wanted a small place to stay near the water, and were very pleased with the hotel. It was charming, clean, and comfortable. It's a block from the water, just across from the marina and a short walk to the wharf. There was a nice breakfast place just around the corner. State Street was a short walk away. We only needed our rental car to explore the […] hills. When we go back, we'd definitely stay there again! Read more

This was perfect value for the money and I will definitely return.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Comfortable, homey room with a nice snack basket waiting when you check in. Some property maintenance happening during my stay, but did not affect my comfort beyond some noise. No on-demand movies, but DVDs for loan in office. Not a fancy place, but comfortable and clean, and within a few blocks to beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My wife and I were just married and had only 2 days to relalx before heading back to reality to move from our old house into the new. What a great place to unwind and relax. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting outside in the patio areas and chatting with other guests...felt like family. We, of course, enjoyed the welcome basket of […] goodies...that banana nut bread is to die for! We would definitely stay there again. Just a short walk to the beach. We had intended to ride the complimentary bikes, but ran out of time...next visit! Read more

I loved this little hotel room, especially the little kitchen with the breakfast basket, table/chairs, microwave, refrid, and little stove. very nice. Everything was beautiful - the only negative was the hot water in the shower. It didn't get hot... just warm. Not sure why.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Reading other reviews about the hotel caused us to book it ourselves for a business meeting with a colleague. We were SO pleased with the experience. Switzerland-clean room, nice goodie basket, comfy bed and linens, and nice people. It was great to take my daily 3-mile walk on the beach a block away. If you are the last person back to park in the lot […] for the 10 rooms after dinner and you only see 9 spaces, park in front of unti 1. Unmarked, but legal. :-)) This will be the place we stay for any future Santa Barbara stays!!!! Read more

Within walking distance from the train station. This place is a pleasant surprise. The room and the hosts were very charming. The welcome guest basket was awesome, loved the fresh baked banana bread! In addition to the welcome basket, they provide free movie rentals, bicycles, beach chairs, and more. This is a quaint place that we will definetly return […] to on our next trip to Santa Barbara.

Very nice hotel, staff was great, location is very close to the wharf and state street. I was dissapointed with the size of the room as i booked a so called "suite". It was a basic small room with a kitchen - not really a suite at all. Parking is limited and i had to park on the street in front of the hotel - BIG mistake, got a $50 parking ticket for […] not having the proper resident pass. The signs for this are very small and in the dark it it impossible to see it - im sure this is the santa barbara city plan - get money $$$. Otherwise i was very pleased with the hotel and had a pleasant time. Read more

We were in Santa Barbara to celebrate our anniversary and wanted to find an affordable yet still romantic place to stay. The Harbor Hour Inn was a good price and in a great location, so we decided to go with it! What a great decision - everything about this Inn is fabulous! We checked in with no problem and when we saw our room we were blown away. […] (It helped that we didn't read carefully and realize that it was a studio with a full kitchen!) The room was decorated in a nice quaint way, with pretty sheets and curtains. The bed was comfortable and clean, the bathroom was clean and had nice toiletries for us to use. The kitchen was clean and had everything you could need to make a full meal. Our favorite part was the basket of food that the hotel provided complimentary with local foods and fruit, what a great touch. The location of the hotel was great for us, it was a short drive to any place that we wanted to go and there are a lot of things in walking distance, including the harbor and the beach at the harbor and a couple restaurants. The building itself is in a neat little cul-de-sac, with only about 10 rooms total. There are patio chairs outside for sitting an enjoying the weather and the building was very quiet. We loved this place and will definitely recommend it to everyone that we know! Thanks Harbor House Inn! Read more

I was initially afraid this would be too unsophisticated for my business travelling husband, but the service was very professional and decor updates enough to please us. Good location- walk to restaurants, but quiet at night.

Beautifully decorated rooms and excellent service. So close to the beach yet without all the noise. Welcome basket of goodies were delicious. Pay the extra money and get the king deluxe room. You will not be disappointed. Would gladly return without hesitation.

Everything about the hotel is exemplary. While it's not a traditional hotel with room service, it's more like being given a wonderful stocked duplex for the weekend -- a home you wish you owned. Our "apartment" came with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a full kitchen, a ridiculously comfortable bed, towels you want to take with you, and a lovely basket […] of fruit, banana nut bread, jams and juices. I wish I could have made an offer on the place. The location is ideal. Read more

Convenient and well priced, the hotel is ideally placed for exploring Santa Barbara.The welcome pack of goodies was thoughtful, Our junior site could have done with less furniture in the room, giving us more space to move around in.

Absolute gem of a place, near the beach, shops,restaurants etc.Full suite with kitchen, bathroom, large bedroom. Complimenary breakfast basket was huge and delicious.

The Inn is in a great location right around the corner from the beach. The welcome basket with all the breakfast items was a great treat. The suite itself was lovely, the kitchen particularly well stocked - the coffee machine and coffee provided were very welcome! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and I would definitely stay here again.
