Anniversary Getaway
My boyfriend and I decided to get out of L.A. for our two year anniversary. Niether of us have been to Santa Barbara so I chose this hotel since its only blocks from the shore. The room was beautiful and just perfect for the two of us. Clean, lots of parking and no noise. Would highly recommend the place.

Perfect Weekend
After reading some of the reviews about the hotel, I was not to sure what to expect when we got to the hotel. Yes the hotel was next to a park and the freeway, but there is nothing wrong with that. People were complaining about the parking being narrow, if you don't know how to drive then don't park in the lot. It is not a bad place to stay like other reviews were stating. The staff from Hotel Mar Monte was great they attended to all our needs. They were just a phone call away. They helped us with taxis, extra bed, and had great suggestions for restaurants. The Parkside Inn made our trip perfect. The location was great, not to far from State St. I didn't want to write this review because I would like to keep the Parkside Inn as a little secret for ourselves.

Disappointed - Under Construction
The room was great but we were really disappointed because the hotel is under construction so the main reasons we were staying there - the pool/jacuzzi and the workout room were not available for use.

Great value for the price
Great comfortable quiet room. Good service. Close beach access. Berm in parking lot makes negotiating the parking lot quite difficult. Area is a bit industrial surrounding the hotel, but it was quiet. Loved the bedding, pillows, and refrig, coffee, etc. Very clean and well-stocked. Unfortunately, pool and jaccuzzi was not on site and being refurbished in the Mon Marte, so one had to drive to use them at the Hotel SB.

Comment on previous reviewa
Previous reviews about registering at a hotel a block away was helpful. I arrived during the day, they gave me my room earlier than the check in time. It was a bit sketchey at first-as an 'older woman alone' but the room was nice and clean. The location is close to the beach walk 5 to 10 minute walk for breakfast, plus the 25 cent shuttle is close by to take you to downtown SB or Montecito. The beach area, and zoo is very close. i lived in Sb for a long time-now I stay there several times a year. i would have felt more comfortable with my husband- but as time went by i was ok. cleaner that i anticipated by the reviews.

East beach grill--Great breakfast, an easy walk and if you are walker a great beginning or end to a long walk. Reasonable prices, great service. If you are there on the weekend it is easy walk to the beachside street fair.

Bad Time in Santa Barbara
The main difference between this property and a motel 6 was the size of the towels. The property was lacking in any amenities. The sound of the ice machine was a constant companion.

Cozy
Came in on a very rainy night. Confusing as to where to check in. Staff was very understanding and helpful. Would have liked more accurate description on exactly where my room was. Otherwise, all okay.

Happy Every Time
Santa Barbara is beautiful and I go to get away from all the city/work stress. I have stayed at Parkside and even received a free upgrade once at Hotel MarMonte. I love that the beach is walking distance - plus don't forget to have blueberry pancakes beach side. You'll know what I mean when you see it. I never mind what I pay because service is always excellent.
