"Eric in restaurant great service. Hotel great location and staff friendly. Beware of the tar on the beach, never experienced that before. Can't go wrong with this hotel."

"Lovely quirky motel. Very comfortable bed. Bathroom wasn’t very clean. Someone had used the toilet and not flushed. Shower could have been cleaner. Great location, 2 mins to sea front. 45 min walk into centre of Santa Barbara."

"Really nice stay! Modern and very clean. I love how close we were to everything. Walking distance to shops, the harbor and restaurants. The hosts were very nice and the communication was excellent! We will definitely go back."

"Room was smaller than anticipated. I thought we were going to get what was advertised, a room with French doors and a view. We unfortunately did not get that. The walls are very thin as well. We were woken up at 6AM by the garbage bins getting slammed around. The little street that leads to hotel parking at the back of the building is an extremely steep hill. We scrapped our car multiple time entering and exiting. Didn’t matter how slow we would approach the steep hill. Overall, okay...

"This is a really nicely updated motel turned inn. The single standard rooms are very small but they do a great job making the bathroom large enough for when you move from the living area to the bath. The furniture and accessories are all nice. We only found a couple housekeeping misses when we checked in with some hair on the white bedding and some spilled mexican food on the swivel chair but I cleaned it up right away and it was easily forgotten. The girls at the front desk were very nice...

"We had stayed someplace else earlier on our trip to SB and wanted to extend it a day and came across this gem. The brother and sister running the inn were extremely nice and affable when we checked in. We had chosen the basic queen room because we were on a budget and also didn’t require much since we were only staying the night but were given a free upgrade into a deluxe king studio which is what we had dreamt of since my wife was wanting a spa tub to soak her tired legs from our previous...

"I don't usually fill out surveys, but this property and the staff is extemely deserving of a great review! I stayed here years ago and the staff and property was over-the-top. Blue Sands has only gotten better with age."

"Small room, very few amenities"

"Helpful staff. Check in was a breeze! Calm and relaxing vibe throughout the hotel."

"Everything was great"

"I loved my stay here and the location is amazing. I will come back for sure. The staff were super friendly and helpful and being downtown Montecito was so beautiful."

"This was our second stay at Pali House Santa Barbara. It’s our favorite place to stay! I would have given this most recent stay 5 stars except we were not told there was a wedding reception happening the one night we were there which included closing the entire patio area. There was quite a bit of noise/music but I will give the hotel credit for ensuring the music went off at 10:00pm. Other than that, we had an amazing time! Will stay again."

"Wonderful, well maintained, quaint and cozy. Close to the beach and State Street and Sterns Wharf."

"Very relaxing and peaceful"

"We loved staying in Santa Barbara at the Harbor View Inn. The bathroom was by far the best hotel bathroom we have ever used. The patio was lovely with a beautiful wisteria tree, the passing train (not loud) and the wonderful Mountain View. We love our visits to Santa Barbara and will stay at the Harbor View Inn again, for sure."

"Clean room and its location to the beach was great. Many restaurants within walking distance."

"We had an awesome time at hotel Californian there rooftop pool is great. All the restaurants which are all walking distance were delicious. Very friendly staff and great rooms with balcony views of the ocean."

"It jor good experience sleeping with others when they talk bad words in their sleep"

"Clean room, parking"

"Small rooms and outdated"
