This is a quaint B&B just a block off State St and the ocean and Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. We stayed here several years ago and remembered it fondly. Caliornia/European feel, beautiful gardening, pleasant courtyard. We stayed again this weekend and was largely disappointed. The employees were not hospitality-minded, the linens were dingy, beds were worn and the breakfast... More

Loved everything about this inn. The Rustic California style was comforting and the room looked just like the photo. The TV, bath, bed made it feel more like home than hotel. Easy to imagine it was a Villa or Hacienda instead of a hotel. Staff was quick and efficient, The lite breakfast was clean, well done, fruit and butter chilled,... More

I would normally have given this Inn a great review. My husband and I have stayed here twice and really enjoyed it. But the last time, I accidentally left a $150 wool jacket in the closet when we left and of course when I called the hotel to inquire about my coat, I was told that the head housekeeper was... More

We visit Santa Barbara often, but this was our first stay at Villa Rosa (we usually stay at Marina Beach Motel which we thoroughly love). We decided to stay here because the last time we were in SB we were walking by and it looked really nice. So we opted for something new this time around. The location is nice,... More

We booked and room and when we arrived they had "given the room" to someone else with the same last name as ours. At first the receptionist gave us a little attitude "well they already checked in and paid for the room". We traveled 7 hours there for a wedding and they finally did agree to give us another room,... More

This was our second stay at the "inn" and only because my husband thought tha patio area lovely. On the 1st stay we checked out after one night- this was over two years ago. The rooms are still dingy and the furnishings well used. The bathroom only had a very small shower (not that clean) with a window overlooking the... More

Unfortunately, we won't be back!! We visit Santa Barbara regularly and decided to try the Villa Rosa Inn. We booked on line and when we arrived, we were offered a room we did not request. The room was dark and dingy. We accepted another room only to find the room poorly serviced and maintained. The carpet was stained, the walls... More

We booked room 12 online for 4 adults. The room was described as one of their larger rooms. Upon check-in we were given the keys to room 4 and was told that it was the room we booked. The room was extremely small so we asked if there was another room available. With a little attitude, the receptionist took us... More
