We spent one night here. It looks like an average motel but the rooms are furnished very nicely indeed and the highest beds we encountered during our holiday! Air con in the rooms are very old and inefficient units so you are better off to avoid the ground floor so you can leave a window open at night. Our third... More

Only staying here overnight on a drive down the coast it was great. Staff were great, decent breakfast along with the evening wine and biscuits. Location is good being close to the marina and beach, but it is a little away from the main strip of shops and restaurants. Overall was perfect for our 1 night stopover. Maybe slightly overpriced...

We stayed at the West Beach Inn for one night when travelling up the coast and enjoyed a good stay in a comfortable room overlooking the lovely gardens and just a short walk away from West Beach. Parking upon arrival was easy and free of charge so that was a good start. Check-in was friendly, quick and professional and our... More

I wish we'd been charged the normal rate as listed on Tripadvisor. At those rates, this place would have earned a good (though not perfect) review. At well over 400 dollars, including taxes (the most I've ever spent on a hotel room, by far), I expected to be wowed-and was far from it. Previous reviews have mentioned the friendly staff... More

I actually live and run my own business here in Santa Barbara, I am a 54 year old woman, and I have lived in Santa Barbara all my life, though I have traveled extensively. I decided to get a room on the beach for a couple of nights, since I try and swim everyday at the pool across the street.... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in a harbor view room (2 adults 2 children). The location is great 5 mins walk up 2 stearns wharf directly facing beach. Area was safe with plenty of restaurants nearby. A trolley leaves stearns wharf every 15 mins & for 25cent will take you up state street. This was a great service and we... More

Just had to take a minute to let people know that this hotel was great! It has great staff, Spa Pool was so nice to soak in after long walks on the beach that is just a few steps away. They helped print out some of my local Groupon Deals at no charge (hey you don't get that at the... More

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and the hotel itself is pleasant enough & the staff are friendly. Room was fine with a very comfy bed and alll amenities ok although shower pressure could have been stronger. However, the reason I wouldn't recommend staying here is the noise. On the 1st night, we were kept awake by horns... More

Thank you for your kind words regarding our staff and amenities. The Front Desk, Houskeeping and Maintenance staff all try hard to provide a comfortable setting for our out of town visitors and guests. Unfortunately the Marine layer seems to settle into Santa Barbara in June. In fact, it even has it's own name "June Gloom". Because of that, the... More
