Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff is always friendly, helpful and attentive"

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was so clean!"

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great place close to the wharf and the staff is super friendly"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great. They kept our bags all day for free after we checked out. We ate dinner we bought in their lobby while waiting for our taxi on the day we checked out. They were great"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent location and within walking distance of many of Santa Barbara's top attractions. Stearns Wharf and State Street are both about a 15-minute walk away, and you'll find plenty of great restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby. The property is well maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms, as well as a nice pool and spa to relax after a day of exploring. Parking can be limited, but once you arrive, there's really no need to drive. Most of the area's attractions are easily accessible on foot, making it a great place to stay. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

Ala Mar by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Best bang for your buck around. You can't beat the location if you want to enjoy the beach. It's close to the fun on the pier and you can still walk downtown relatively easily (although it is a good distance for a stroll). There are many eateries close by for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The little pool they share with the sister hotel next door made for a refreshing dip and the hot tub was enjoyable to relax in. The staff were kind and helpful although sometimes there's no one at the front desk so no help when that occurs. Parking is very tight, as it goes in cities like this so be aware that if you don't get a space then you'll have to track one down on the surrounding streets. And you need to be realistic that at this price, you are not getting a super fancy, luxurious resort hotel. It's a cute little boutique hotel, they're old buildings and some of that show, but it came off as beautiful character to me personally. So make sure you have proper expectations and a good perspective going in. They do a fun little happy hour with some wine, crackers and cheese as well as a continental breakfast that included pastries, pie, fruit, bagels, cereal, waffles, juice and coffee. It was just what we were looking for and we really enjoyed our time there!"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this little boutique hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. A big plus for us was the parking. Yes, they have covered parking if you want it, but we also had parking right outside of our door, which made it super easy for packing and unpacking. The location was great for walking along the waterfront and visiting great restaurants. This is a definite yes, for staying again if, we are ever in Santa Barbara again."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay for our mini-honeymoon! The room is very comfortable with a great location near many restaurants, coffee shops, and places to drink wine. The staff were all friendly and very, very helpful! There is a mild amount of noise being near State street but nothing that diminishes the stay at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Santa Barbara."
