It was quiet and personal. Wonderful as always.
I will definitely stay here any time I am in the city. Excellent staff, great location, and worth the price.
Love the hotel. Wish it wasn't taking so long to get the restaurant in.
Loved the hotel and the location! Great vicinity to Santa Barbara.
I visit Santa Barbara often but have never stayed at the Montecito Inn before this last week. From now on it will be my "Go to First" hotel, Location is perfect; Staff, Incredible!; Comfort; Value....The Montecito has everything a large Hotel brings but with intimacy and personal attention... If you're undecided, book the Montecito Inn. You will be very pleased you did!
Wonderful. Will be even better with the new restaurant. Suggestion...on several travel sites it still says breakfast and the $10 parking charge.
Great!! Experience, room was amazing! And because we booked with orbitz we got upgraded to a suite. This small hotel is located in the middle of a of small town walking distance to a lot of small shops and local restaurants.
Loved the hotel but want a restaurant to move in. The staff is great.
The location is great - in walking distance to shops and restaurants. However, it's also close to the 101 so can be noisy. In addition, directly across from the hotel is a BIG construction site. Also very noisy. The restaurant in the hotel is closed for another 8 months but there are plenty of other places nearby. The beds were comfy. The water pressure a bit poor in the shower. Despite a few bumps I would stay there again.
The Montecito Inn is stylish and quintessential. It is in a perfect location from where one could explore all of greater Motecito and Santa Barbara. Just walk to any of the fine shops and restaurants in the Lower Village or get on the local raods or the 101 within a minute. The staff are always attentive and friendly. Will look forward to our next stay!
Beautiful and quaint hotel in Montecito. It takes you back to the golden age. Staff was very nice, and went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. We loved the free coffee and tea. The only downside is that it is close to the freeway, and the passing cars can be a bit noisy.
very nice old hotel. Very clean and the employees very friendly and helpful.
Lovely location and room Not without traffic noise from the freeway and late check in at 4 and out the next day at noon but we would stay there again.
Enjoy our stay would come back....staff were great and friendly ....
The hotel was great. I expected the rooms to be a little nicer based on the pictures, but it was still overall a good experience. The bathrooms are older, and I had trouble keeping my electrical devices plugged into the wall.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was fun to discover the hotel's history (originally built by Charlie Chaplin). A modern hotel yet they kept the charming old-school touches (including the original elevator... the kind you pull the gate across before operating). A couple minutes from East Beach, yet so much to do with walking distance. Will definitely return.
We liked the hotel. We would like to go back. Continental breakfast was minimal in quality, less than I would expected from an otherwise fine hotel. More like a budget motel.
Elevator from hell or the 20s. Small rooms not real luxury staff so so on the hwy free breakfast worth the cost. Valet parkers were nice. More blue hair than you can shake a stick at. If I had it to do over I would stay in Goleta. There's a nice resort there by the ocean. Never again. Charlie Chaplin Manville good but he has been there for a long time
We were looking forward to a nice quiet weekend getaway which didn't turn out to be the case. We were given a room behind the elevator on the 2nd floor, and next to a door leading to the outside which opens up to rooms on the other side of the hotel. We didn't notice any of this when we checked in. We were woken up around midnight the 1st night, and were up for a couple of hours. This was from the party people returning to the hotel late and gathering around the outside door. The walls of the rooms are so thin that you can hear every conversation or noise that takes place outside the room. The worse is that we were woken up again right before 6am, and it sounded like someone or something was constantly banging on the room walls over and over. We found out later that it was from the elevator, an old elevator which had 2 doors to open and close manually. The same thing happened the 2nd night. We were able to sleep from 2:30am to 5:30am only both nights and this is not my idea of a nice quiet stay! The rooms which were given to us were probably the same category, if not worse, than a cheap motel. The bathroom and shower were so small that you could not move or turn around. The shower water temperature fluctuated from warm to extreme hot. The AC/Heat did not work and had an error code displayed. The rooms were not cleaned up properly. This is not what I expect from a hotel which had a 4+ rating, and we will not return there nor recommend it to friends or family.
I had a really nice stay at the Montecito Inn this past weekend. There are many options when choosing where to stay in and around Santa Barbara, but I'm very pleased with my decision to go with the Montecito. Not only were staff extremely friendly and attentive, but the location was perfect - two blocks away from the beach and next to excellent restaurants and boutiques.
