Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little inn conveniently located, great breakfast, kind helpful staff."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

Casa Del Mar Inn

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay. The Spanish architecture was beautiful. We also loved all the lush gardens! Would definitely stay here again in the future."

Riviera Beach House

8/10 Good

"It would be 5 stars except the room we were given was way smaller than the images we had when booking. Had the deluxe room (king) with the garden patio. We had roughly 2-3 feet of space to move around the bed. Other than that, people/location/vibe were great!!"

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Loved our location. Right on State Street so easy walking to restaurants and shops. Beach was a 15 minute walk. Sheets and bed were lovely. Parking service was handy - right out back"

Marina Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Marina Beach is small but I found it a pleasant place to stay. The room is small but what is offered in-room is big: kitchenette, etc. The staff couldn't be nicer. I've stayed at very high end hotels where the staff makes me want to cancel my reservation. Here, they make one feel like they're glad we are here and they want to make our stay the best."

ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property and facilities. Friendly staff"
