Very nice location, an excellent place for going to the beach or for a run! It is clean, comfortable and very family friendly. My only complaint would be that there is no coffee machine on n the rooms. Otherwise great place to stay.

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!

The hotel overall is good. The restaurant and bar closed 8 pm on some nights. That’s ridiculously early for a hotel. The Bartendar was like, I will do one last call and that’s it. If you want to close this early, please don’t work in the hospitality industry. Their recommendation was to go to another bar, restaurant or hotel. Ok thanks, next time I will stay somewhere else.
