Top Stearns Wharf Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great little spot. The rooms were clean. They had happy hour and coffee and breakfast every day Mickey at the front desk was awesome."

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We all loved it soo much!"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"My friend's and my room was nice and clean. I thought it was weird that we had to walk outside of the lobby to find the elevator, though. When my roommate and I took our showers, there was either body soap or shampoo in the container that was supposed to be conditioner. And the conditioner was in the body soap container! I was also disappointed the next morning that there was no variety of hot food, like eggs, and meat like bacon or sausage. However I did enjoy the custom brew coffee machine that offered lattes and cappuccino."

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Bien ubicado habitación amplia"

Lavender Inn by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned every day. Offered continental breakfast, and wine and cheese in the evening. Also free onsite parking. The things that were missing was a full length mirror, only one mirror in the bathroom. Also a vanity mirror to put on makeup would have been nice."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend the Hilton Santa Barbara! I will be staying here again if I return to the area. The pool was so much fun and everything was so clean and easy to use. Our check in ran smoothly and Cupid was lovely and very helpful. The room was amazing as well, very spacious and fun to hang out on the balcony. There is beach access right accross the street so that is a plus as well!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room but very small bathroom… a shower crammed in with the toilet and sink. Not adequate especially considering the price of the room. Coffee was very weak and the breakfast offerings were not good."
