Marina Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I will definitely return here, the room was very clean and had all the amenities needed. Staff was very nice and helpful from the front desk to the cleaning crew . Perfect location to explore Santa Barbara"

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Elaina at the front desk was wonderful. Very kind and helpful. Room was clean and quiet. I was worried being right next to the entrance and the utility room but I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it actually was."

Harbor View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lovely property. No restaurant on premises but plenty within close walking distance…Especially Jeannine’s for breakfast and Harbor Restaurant for dinner. Bathrooms need renovation…toilets, especially for seniors, are ridiculously low. Enjoyed our stay though and will likely stay again."

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"like the location across from the Del Hotel..easy to cross street to take advantage of the Del and its restaurants.. the Glorietta Inn is a basic hotel..decent breakfast..nice view across from the bay and sailboats..the pool could use more umbrellas specially since it was so hot... the housekeeping is only every other day .. what is great is the fact that you are on Orange road and its many shops and restaurants. so great location.."

Hideaway Santa Barbara, A Kirkwood Collection Property

10/10 Excellent

"I would personally like to thank Monique at the front desk for how accommodating she was during our stay here. She helped me set up a surprise for my fiancé for her birthday and she was really helpful with recommendations as well. Thank you Monique! Also, the breakfast prepared was really delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to future travelers."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Good location close to the water front. Main area for restaurants around 15min walk. Loved the marina area which is very close to the hotel. They offer complimentary breakfast which is more than adequate. Good stay overall."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly attitude and enjoyable get away for 2 !"

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"Housekeeping was good, and with good timing. The breakfast is better than the typical continental breakfast. Front patio is a nice place to enjoy it. Pool area is very nice, though I did not use it. My room was clean and quiet. An approximate 10 minute brisk walk will get you to stearns wharf, maritime museum, or state street (and nearby funk zone). Parking is easy, and included. Access to the 101 is very convenient."
