Top Outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best mattress of all our stays and finally a hot tub that wasn't just warm water. Nice pool, great location, nice breakfast."

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

10/10 Excellent

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."

Ala Mar by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the property is beautiful! The motel has a relaxed atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable, and cozy."

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."
