We loved the Santa Barbara Inn. Such a comfortable hotel to stay in. So convenient to the beach and walkable to the historic town center and Funk Zone. The staff were friendly and helpful with all of our requests. We had an ocean view balcony from our room. The room itself was large and clean. The pool area was beautiful although the hot tub was a little too hot. Parking was a bit expensive (valet only) but the valets were quick and friendly. We ate at the on site restaurant, Convivo, and it was amazing! We were here for our honeymoon and would gladly come back again!

Just okay

Just okay. For the price would have expected a little more. No perks, even asking for a little later check out - would have expected more as a loyal hotel.com member for many years.

We stayed at the Ritz last November and here this past week and I’d choose the Santa Barbara Inn hands down. It’s boutique-like with lovely grounds, super walkable, clean and the dining option is lovely. Valet was great and service very good.

Hotel was an excellent choice. The only hotel I could find that had ocean view rooms!...it did not disappoint. Bath robes and slippers provided! Heated bathroom floor! Great shower with soft water! Convivo restaurant was amazing...everything we ate was fantastic. Only negative was that the table lamps beside the bed didn't work properly. Otherwise everything was fantastic...no regrets!
