Great Value

The Parkside Inn is an annex to the Hotel Mar Monte and is located approximately two blocks from the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable and the building was well maintained. The Inn has no amenities onsite, but guests are entitled to use everything the hotel has to offer. While I enjoyed a massage, my husband enjoyed breakfast and a swim. The Hotel is a beautiful Landmark property, and staying at the Inn is a remarkable value.

A great surprise for the money!

We stayed here not knowing what to expect. It wasn't out of the way-only across the street-so not inaccessable to restaurant,pool etc. The room was charming with full shower/tub bathroom. We liked it so much we stayed again on our way home to San Diego.Staff very friendly and cooperated fully to save my sweater from being lost so it was returned to me when we came back the next week-Thumbs up to all who made our stay so enjoyable

A hidden treasure for sure!

This hotel, although set apart from the main hotel, was a pleasant suprise! I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking to stay in Santa Barbara and not spend an outrageous amount of money. It's just as nice as a 3 star hotel, very close to State Street and the pier. The staff is amazingly courteous and friendly. The room was beautiful, cozy and felt like home. We honestly had a hard time leaving the bed because it was so comfortable. I give this place two thumbs up!!

Nice location for reasonable price

The Parkside was close to the beach and reasonably close to downtown. The pool, exercise room, and restaurant were located in a different building. We did not take advantage of these facilities.

Walk down to the beach. There is a 25 cent bus that runs along the shore to several attractions but it appears that it stops running early in the evening.

Close to the beach

While very close to the beach, the Parkside Inn was about a mile from the happening, restaurant area. The room was very large, suite style with a nice balcony that was accessible from the bedroom and the living room. The bed fixings (comforter especially) could use to be more comfortable.

An OK place if traveling with pets

The Parkside Inn is a satellite owned by the much larger and more expensive Mar Monte Hotel about 1 1/2 blocks away and you have to check in there and then drive to the Parkside, where there is no front desk. The room was clean but unattractive and sparsely furnished. They accept pets but charge a one-time $75 cleaning fee in addition to the room rate. You are allowed to use the big hotel's pool and facilities.
