Parking was so easy, expected to need to search the streets for a space but they have a parking lot and spaces available. Was a little dubious about how nice the room would be from the pictures but we were blown away, was so fresh and clean, north building looked like it had just been built, wish we had time to stay longer, whole area was clean and lovely to walk around at night

Unwelcoming stay.

To start this off, this was our first trip to Santa Barbara. We were super excited to finally go on a nice vacation near the beach and simply enjoy ourselves. So we decided to choose Harbor View Inn after reading so many great positive reviews. After 5-6 hour drive, we expected to feel welcomed but this wasn’t the case. I have never in my life am the type to pull the race card nor complain about experiencing segregation due to the color of my skin. However from this stay I am disappointed that it still exists. It was VERY highly noticeable that the guests staying in the west wing were all of white descent. Remind you the west wing had all the accommodating necessities that you expect to experience from Santa Barbara like the pool, gym, full balcony, views etc. From our 3 nights 4 days stay. We have passed by the west wing every morning and late evening to get to the beach and back to our room. Just by passing through it was plain to see the people who walked in and out of that building and multiple different couples enjoying their time on their balcony were unfortunate for me to say but within the white descent. It was obvious what race was prioritized/accommodated for. We were put in the “North wing” where we felt excluded and hidden. Not to mention how we were spoken to by staff members especially Cameron (front desk) he was unwelcoming and LACKED Sympathy. We have been to so many hotels in CA but this was the first time we didn’t enjoy our stay. We highly don’t recommend.
