I am not sure where else I would stay!! Ideally located 1/2 block from the beach, walking distance to State Street and Urban Wine Trail, only a few minutes walk to the Marina. Super clean rooms that are spacious and have a couch and very comfortable bed. Great service. Only thing I had an issue with was the wireless signal... More

The inn location is perfect -- a short walk to the pier or marina and slightly longer walk to the downtown shopping area. Our room was in a quiet corner with a patio to relax in. The Brophy Brothers restaurant at the marina proved to be a great lunch recommendation and was also near the sailing ship for whale or... More

I found this hotel using Tripadvisor and it was all that people said it was. We stayed in one of the upgraded King rooms with a private patio. The room was large, very clean and well appointed. The bathroom was small but really beautiful with a soaking jetted tub. The patio was a nice place to relax in the morning... More

Stayed for two nights in May, 2013. Upon arrival, I thought, "this is a cool old Route 66 type motel." It was that and so much more. The room was huge, and nicely appointed save for the lack of much in the way of wall decor. The king bed was incredibly comfortable. There was a couch in a nook, and... More

We stayed as the Castillo Inn for one night, but we would have liked to stay longer. The position of the hotel was perfect for us as we were going whale-watching the following day. The parking was plentiful, with easy access to the accommodation. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. It had a nice seating area and there... More

Great location by the beach, clean, friendly, nicely appointed, and surprisingly quiet. Very reasonably priced. Take the $$ you saved on lodging and have a superb dinner right around the corner at Toma. The hotel staff recommended it, and it was a wonderful experience.

My girlfriend and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Santa Barbara on Sat. May 4th. We used Trip Advisor to look for a reasonable hotel for later that evening. We started going down the list beginning with the #1 rated hotel in Santa Barbara. They had a last minute cancellation but the room was $500 for the night.... More

The reviews said it all and we were not disappointed. The Inn is ideally located for the beach and close to the interstate 101 if you are travelling as we were. The rooms are compact and clean, with all you would expect from a good-quality hotel. You can even park outside your room. A light breakfast was also provided which... More

We stayed here in late March and experienced some amazing weather in Santa Barbara,we felt so blessed! This hotel is a block from the beach and a short walk to a park if you have children who need a quick swing and slide before hitting the sand! Staff was friendly and accommodating. We have children and as often as we... More

We could only get one nights accommodation at this place & we were both really disappointed we couldn't get another night . Dan at the front desk certainly was a very helpful courteous person who gave us a great suggestion for dinner and also driving advice. Rooms are very large with a sitting area, fridge, desk area. Beds very comfy,... More
