Santa Barbara East Beach Hotels

"View was really nice, hotel lobby and the outdoor area/fire pits are great. Staff were polite and friendly. The rooms are very clean, but they are outdated and there is a certain musty smell you cannot shake off. Otherwise it is a great choice! "

"Clean updated rooms , loved the water system , amenities , location , staff was all very friendly , bar in hotel and valet was great! Will stay here again! "

"Was not AS DESCRIBED!!! Filthy!!! mold on walls and in bathroom, so much dust, dust on ceiling fan blades. Bugs in the light fixture!! dirty sheets, old appliances, tv broken. Could not sleep or stay there. Paid for two nights never got my money back. Paid to stay somewhere else clean. See photos as proof. PS they charge $15 per night to park in their parking lot which is huge and empty. No breakfast included as it says there is. I wish there was a zero star option. If they offered this place for free I STILL would not stay here that is how bad it is!!!!"

"Staff was VERY responsive and fun to deal with......the upper deck has a great beach view.....the pool had shaded unbrella tables and seating"

"Nice hotel great location "

"It was short easy walk to the beach "

"Lovely lobby and seating area upstairs. Perfect location. Clean room. "

"Happily paid an upgrade for premium King full beach view w/ balcony… BUT HOLD THE PHONE. We couldn’t fit two teeny chairs on the one fully OPEN front balcony if you wanted to unless you did some cuckoo, over-the-railing gymnastics maneuver & then sat practically on top of one other with your legs entangled. It was so bad that we LAUGHED… until we marinated on it some more & became legitimately peeved. Thank heavens we were out & about for much of our stay because the TV didn’t even operate properly. Absurd. We didn’t even bother to request help at that point, because we really didn’t want maintenance/tech staff traipsing through our room since we had such a brief getaway as it was. To add to the fun, we couldn’t get Verizon reception on our phones in the room, even after connecting to the hotel using their WiFi password. We could barely, if at all, load online maps of local areas of interest, unless you had an hour to let it load. We’re truly baffled by this hotel. The final pièce de résistance was a lack of proper, REASONABLY accessible coffee service for guests. A 5:30am-8:30am coffee service is so clearly only for the business clientele jumping on early flights. For heaven’s sake, how embarrassingly cheap could a SB hotel be, especially one that thinks it would like to compete with the “big girl” hotels on the waterfront. We reside in SLO county & have a myriad of friends & connections who supply SB hotels with much-needed business during their off-season. What a shame."

"Clean, friendly staff, great location."
