Santa Barbara Inn was a great location. Literally across the street from the beach & ocean. Prob a 15 min walking distance to the wharf and lower State Street (downtown). Most restaurants are located down the street. But they have a delicious restaurant, Convivo on the property. Very small pool but if you want to swim in the ocean, it’s steps away. The value was great for the location.

Beautiful property and location. Clean. Wish we could have made coffee/tea in the room. They only offered coffee in the lobby, no tea. Hotel and valet staff were excellent, but hostess at Convivo (the restaurant) was not accommodating and had a bad attitude.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The first thing I said after walking into the lobby was "Wow! It looks just as pretty as the pictures". The hotel itself is beautiful, clean and perfectly located. The room was large, the bed was comfortable and I loved the heated bathroom floor. The restaurant inside the hotel, Convivo, was delicious for both breakfast and dinner. There is also an excellent sushi restaurant just down the road. This hotel is on the beach near Stearns Warf, and downtown Santa Barbara is just a few minutes by car. The Santa Barbara Inn exceeded our expectations in many ways. We'll be coming back next time we're in Santa Barbara. Highly recommended!
