Hotels in Santa Barbara Beach, Santa Barbara

"What’s great. Location. What everyone needs to know is (no fault of hotel as they all are) it’s right on a busy road between the hotel and beach"

"We got stuck in a building a block behind the main hotel, but on the plus side it was clearly new, spacious, and immaculate. The pool is a joke compared to how the photos make it look, probably measures 30 x 20 feet. Four or five adults paddling around and it felt full. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a quick dip. Also cut it short due to blaring pop music all around the pool, for some reason management thinks we all need to listen to Rihanna and Justin Bieber at moderate high volume all day. Couldn’t really nap or read because of this unfortunate assumption. Not a resort, but a well-staffed, clean and very well located hotel. Recommended with just a few caveats. "

"Small room. No dog area when it is a dog friendly motel."

"This is my second time staying at this location. Clean rooms, nice staff, and a very short walk to the beach and short drive or bike ride to the wharf, Funk Zone, West Beach, and Harbor. I brought my beach cruiser bikes this time and they allowed me to lock them up to the pole (or anywhere I wanted) right in front of my room. The only downside to this second stay was that there was a weird sewage smell in the bathroom and I didn’t think there was anything they could do about it, so I didn’t report it. It wasn’t too bad though, so I managed. I will continue to stay here anytime I visit SB, which is often. "

"Great accomodations. Nice ocean view. Professional valets. Great time. Expensive coffee at the cafe (espresso and latte $18 including tip)."

"No hot water for two days was a total bummer. The rooms are tiny. You will not have room to open a large suitcase unless you put it on your bed. Great location though. Pretty lobby. Know that you are literally right next door to the train station. Wine in the lobby in the afternoon is a nice touch."

"Price is pricey for this particular stay, but all is good"

"Overall very good experience. Close to Amtrak but no noise. Walk to beach and harbor. Easy walk to State St. great breakfast included. "

"A few good things: - small variety of items able to be bought on-site - mini fridge in the room - excellent waffles for breakfast - located near a few convenience stores The negative: - asked for a wakeup call, staff confirmed, no wakeup call came - very difficult to find staff to help after dark - noise carried through the hotel door making it hard to sleep & giving privacy concerns - unable to turn off super bright lights under and behind the bed. Staff at desk confirmed they do not turn off - no door on the shower - no phone or alarm clock present in the room - must be very careful with door tag as one side requests maid service."
