Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. It was our second time to stay there. The view is absolutely incredible. Will stay there again."

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and convenient for downtown and beach access."

Casa Del Mar Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel’s location just off the main beach drive offers walking access to the pier and to recommended restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. As a weary traveler, I was rejuvenated by the afternoon offerings of wine and appetizers. What a treat! The only hotel shortcoming was the only way to regulate the temperature and get fresh air in our first floor room was to open windows. Sleep was disrupted by sirens and other outside sounds. Since a screen doesn’t offer much security, we were also a little on guard."

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Our stay was only for 1 night, but the room was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful with their knowledge of the area restaurants."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel that is close to the beach, the pier, stores and several excellent restaurants. The king bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were uncomfortable and the counter space was small. The air conditioning was noisy and turned on and off during the night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with waffles, eggs bacon and sausage, bagels, pastries and muffins. The balcony is really a small patio enclosed by a five foot fence with a small table and two chairs. Overall, it is a good place to stay."

Villa Rosa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best 3 stars you’ve stayed at👌"

Marina Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best stay in Santa Barbara period. Blows away those over priced hotels. Clean and modern with super nice staff. My new favorite spot and glad we have it a try."

Ala Mar by the Sea

8/10 Good

"It was a fantastic experience, rooms were comfy and clean, bathroom was aesthetically pleasing, the architecture made me feel like i was in another country. The pool and hot tub was very immersive, and the breakfast provided was really well thought of. The only thing I could recommend in the future is that I needed to shave my beard and legs and arms during the trip (I was doing a bike race this weekend in SB), and it was pretty hard to shave effectively without a mirror in the bathroom (I’m not sure if every room doesn’t have a mirror in the bathroom). There was a mirror in the main room but if I shaved in front of there I’d get hair all over the floor in the main room. So I’d recommend a mirror in the bathroom. Other than that it was a phenomenal hotel experience!"

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The place was very pleasant! Having checked in late for only one night since I was in town for a concert I didn’t get to experience the full place me and my partner agreed we need to come back for a longer stay! They had snacks and treats in the room that honestly weren’t badly priced! Not to mention the complimentary beverages on check in, just so fun! Slept like royalty too, absolutely comfortable bed!"
