Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, I was disappointed I couldn’t use the fitness room until the poll opened and that was too late in the morning."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Well renovated hotel, with some nice amenities like a small breakfast and afternoon snack. Great location, close to the marina, wharf, and State Street. A little pricey for such a small room on weekdays, but I guess this is California."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"."

Harbor View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect! Our room was beautiful, and the guest service was great. My only wish is that there was a cafe or coffee shop available on premises since the ones on the street all closed early. Overall, we loved it and definitely will be back!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good

"The West Beach Inn should get five stars, except for the one item below. The Inn is truly a lovely place - great location; lovely garden setting; helpful, friendly staff, good amenities; genuinely a great place to stay! The only drawback was the old, very loud AC units - the noise is bad and affected our ability to sleep. The ownership should replace these with quiet, more efficient modern units - then this Inn would be five-star perfect!!"

Hotel Californian

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very well- located and very well-appointed. Rooms are fantastic and beautiful with everything you need. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I love staying there!"

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant stay at this property, a bit older but nicely kept up. Pool is large and clean, nice complementary wine and cheese from 4:30-6:30, breakfast is a good variety of choices though not a full spread, comfortable seating outside. A couple of suggestions: less furniture in rooms, makes it a bit crowded and covering the clear window part of the wall around the pool so area can’t be easily seen from sidewalk."
