Top East Beach Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay here. The hotel grounds were beautiful, the room was great and location near everything. Their sister property was also amazing and let us rent bikes. Mickey at Bris Del Mar was extremely nice and helpful and gave us some recommendations on where to go, what to do and what to eat. Everything he recommended was great. Would definitely come again!"

Santa Barbara Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Santa Barbara Inn. The staff was very friendly. The check in and check oit was very easy. We asked for extra towels on oir original reservations and they were in the room. Our room was large and clean. The bed was comfortable and the blackout drapes keep our room dark until we were ready to get up.We brought our own nightlight otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see our way to the bathroom during the night. I enjoyed the coffee downstairs each morning. If you like real half and half you must bring your own or purchase some at the local grocery store about a one minute walk from the hotel. The hotel offers coffemate. We had an ocean view and enjoyed the ocean breeze when our screen door was open. We will stay again."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was definitely 10/10. The cleanliness, the staff, the quality of customer service. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing was the room was small but for me on a solo date that was fine and that won’t lower my score. It’s also connected to a restaurant that has amazing food! I cannot wait to go again and stay here. Also, rent the bikes and explore the city. They are free as a guest staying there."
