Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, only had one night and wished I would have stayed longer. The room was spacious and clean and the free breakfast was a plus. Super close to the pier."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Franciscan was an excellent choice for our stopover in Santa Barbara. Staff was excellent, beds were the comfiest hotel beds ever, grounds were beautiful, and it was the perfect location to walk to the beach and pier. They even have bicycles to use!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful and very friendly. They kept the property in great condition. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the amenities including the hot tub/pool and the food for breakfast and happy hour was great. I would definitely come back here again to stay."

Riviera Beach House

8/10 Good

"This is in a great location close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. But for what you’re paying, it’s insane not to have a real shower. It’s just a “wet room” where there is a shower head and shower curtain but then the water goes everywhere. Prepare to have a soaking wet bathroom your entire stay. Cute hotel but would not book again."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, clean and comfortable room."

ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property and facilities. Friendly staff"

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Santa Barbara West Beach location"

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great! The continental breakfast was good! Rented the free bikes which was an added bonus!"

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the coffee maker in the room was broken and the plugs for the chargers were blown out and were not working"
