Value and convenience near gorgeous East Beach
The Santa Barbara Inn is located just across the street from East Beach, which is widely regarded as the finest beach in Santa Barbara. The inn overlooks the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by palm trees and gardens. The electric Santa Barbara shuttle (fees apply) stops in front of the Santa Barbara Inn, allowing guests to see the sights in the most convenient, eco-friendly way possible. Travelers can walk to both the shops and eateries at Stearns Wharf and Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens. The famous wine country area is only a 45-minute drive away.Santa Barbara Inn Rooms

$anta Barbara
The restaurant is closed 24/7 and there is a pathetic buffet forB'fast . Really awful, very much of nothing. There is no fitness room. It is valet parking only - and the reason may be to keep traffic noise down for 'mountain view' rooms. A room on the east side 3rd floor may get a mountain view, just barely. Very nice staff otherwise. They even left aChristmas present for me in my room on Christmas eve, that was a nice surprise. They may want it back after reading this review. Overall it is nice, but not my first choice.

Good Location, low level
Was very well located, close to the beach, but the rooms are very old and poor quality.

Not what I was expecting
The hotel was old and even though the walls had been recently papered and painted, the important structural things had not been updated. Moldy old tile and bath fixtures (smelled the room), popcorn over the cracked ceilings, broken too-small ceiling fan, no air conditioning, wall paper peeling off walls in bathroom from insufficient fan... the list is long. Additionally the amenities where poor as well; torn bedskirt, no coffee in room, no shampoo/conditioner or bath gel, no in room safe, no comfortable chair to relax on. Our room was supposed to be a 'garden view' but that turned out to be a view of a parking lot and the backside of another tall building; the only 'garden' was a bougainvillea growing on a shed. The staff was very friendly and wonderful, but the hotel was more of a 1 star motel with a nice paint job.

Santa Barbara Inn
The hotel was nice. It's located approximately 3/4 mile from the main part of Santa Barbara. It is right across the street from the ocean, and that was very nice. The rooms were clean and pretty good. Overall, I think this was a nice option considering hotels 3/4 mile down the road.

A place to relax
The Santa Barbara Inn had all that we wanted a comfortable bed a fantastic restaurant on site serving lunch and dinner and a sunday brunch and a staff that were very respectful and pleasant and quick to respond to our request. We had several meals in our room and we did not wait long at all for service. The balcony was large. The room had very fine furnishings with a refrig in room. We enjoyed continental breakfast provided every day, along with the norning news paper. The Inn is right across the street from the beach and close to the warf.

Good location
The staff at this hotel was very nice and helpful, and the location was great. The electric shuttle stopped right in front of the hotel to take us to the main shopping area, and the beach at the hotel was beautiful and quiet. They upgraded our room to an ocean view, but they were re-sanding the balcony above us so there was a lot of noise the first day, but they finished by 5pm and the rest of our stay was quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

The Zoo is right around the corner, and it is very cute. It only takes about 2 hours to see the whole thing...and don't forget to look for the giraffe with the crooked neck!
