Cabrillo Inn at the Beach is one of the older hotels/motels in Santa Barbara. We've been staying there since mid-1980s. It's located just off the 101 and right across the street from the ocean. The view from the rooms is spectacular. Each morning, Lupe' serves the best coffee, juices, and variety of breakfast rolls and quiche beside the pool. She... more

The price is right, especially with their dinner package. It's across the street from a beautiful beach. The staff is more than friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast works very well. With a car, it's close to everything. It's been around for a while but they are upgrading. My wife and I can't wait to return. more

We've stayed at the Cabrillo Inn on a number of occasions over the years and with each stay the quality of the facilities there continue to deteriorate. We won't be staying there ever again. If you like staying in an upgraded card board box and enjoy being treated by the hotel's management like they're doing you a favor to even... more

We stayed here three nights in May after cancelling our Carnival Paradise cruise - (we had just had a 7 night cruise to NO WHERE because of the outbreak of swine flu and didn't fancy another 4 night cruise the same) Mexico was off the itinerary. We caught an Amtrak train and had no clue where to go but were... more

The rooms were way to old. I was suprised the TV was in color. This Inn is a terrible place to be, don't ever want to spend another minute there. We had the beachfront view but the room was total junk. 169 a night; i rather pay 20 bucks more and get casa del mar right next door. Overall this... more

Stayed in room 229, shared balcony with ocean view which is gorgeous, but across a busy street. No air conditioning, stuffy room, homeless people living in a van right next to hotel. Don't stay in room 229 if you want to sleep at night, because you can hear everything in the room above you. The floor creaks really bad. We... more

I agree with most of the other comments. This is a no frills motel but to my mind a perfectly acceptable choice. Yes, it’s a little bit out of the way, but we found the heated swimming pool a nice touch and most of all - the room and linen was clean. The sweet danish and cake rubbish for the... more

We had researched hotels as my husband had appt. @ Sansum clinic & thought we should @ least have ocean view. We learned the following: The East beach is the best, quietest, etc., vs the west where the Marina, restarurants, hotels are practically on the sidewalk, etc., ... the Cabrillo, Santa Barbara Inn, & the Mar Monte are on the... more
