Nearby breakfast and dinner choices are very good.

Step back in time

Enjoyed this themed, somewhat quaint hotel. Relaxed in the breakfast room reading the (complementary) LA Times and watched the world go back through the wide windows. Had a late check-in, so no say about my room, and received on overlooking a messy back part/alley area. Not at all pleasing. As the rooms are a bit small (which made clear in their adverts), a window/view of some sort is almost nearly a necessity. Lovely place and a memorable experience for my teen-age daughter.

Classic hotel experience

Be sure to drive into town and check out the wine tasting!

The Montecito Inn is a step back to an earlier time, before huge chain hotels and time shares. This small, intimate hotel is a relaxing blast to the past in a gorgeous neighborhood in Montecito. Our hotel room had two televisions, a fireplace, a large jacuzzi tub and an oversized shower. The interior design in the hotel was simple and classic. The location was perfect, just walking distance to many restarants and shops.

Nostalgic Santa Barbara retreat

There is a shuttle that runs from the hotel directly to State St. in Santa Barbara.

We had a lovely stay at the Montecito Inn. The Inn is a few minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, yet does not have the Santa Barbara price tag. The hotel has been restored immaculately to it's original condition. It was built by Charlie Chaplin and was host to Hollywood's elite in the early 1920's and 30's. The room had an old-time feel to it, yet had all the modern conveniences, desk, tv, high speed connection. Only drawback was that outside of the room you can hear some freeway noise. Other than that, very relaxing, best value for ambience and location... I would definitely stay again.

My review of Montecito Inn

The Montecita Inn was good and bad. The service and customer care was excellent. The rooms we're small for the money, extremely stuffy with no air conditioning and loud, loud, loud. Would not recommend to friends simply because of the room comfort and noice level due to having to have the windows due to no air circulation in room and situated near a major freeway. No air conditioning in the rooms. Hotel staff however was extremely helpful and friendly.
