10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Super helpful staff. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure and temperature in shower was great. Quiet property. AC worked great. Easy walking distance to things nearby. Very happy with our stay and would recommend!"

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Got greeted by amazing staff members. Quick check in, our junior suite was perfect for our family of 4. Super clean room, and hotel overall. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, my 5&6 year old loved it!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jorge was super helpful in getting us the perfect room, as we wanted to face the marina."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Nice location- Pool was well-maintained. My bathroom had hair in the shower when I arrived. And they weren’t able to grant me any sort of a late checkout. I felt like they were pressuring me out right at 11. It was fine-"

Mason Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"Good, great location. Close to beach and short walk to old town."

Marina Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Hotels.com site said the property has a pool—it does not. That was very disappointing. The hotel has an arrangement with the Franciscan Inn to use their pool, but that was not convenient. The room had a musty smell, possibly from the old AC unit. But the ceiling fan helped circulate the air so it was bearable. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

SeaCliff - High Tide - Santa Barbara's Best View of the Ocean

8/10 Good

"The location of the property was wonderful, as was the view. The balcony and rooftop area were great. Unfortunately our stay had a few issues. There was serious issue with ants throughout the unit. The host did respond immediately and maintenance did spray. The situation improved, but was not resolved.Three days into our week long stay full scale renovation began on the unit immediately above and the unit beside. Jackhammers, drills, saws and hammers operated 8am to 6pm for the next three days. Deafening noise levels prohibited any activity within the unit. The host was responsive and understanding. but was unable to curtail the construction. We were able to come to a reasonable agreement to reduce our expense. I can only hope future guests can enjoy their vacation experience in peace."
