Top Santa Barbara Harbor Hotel Reviews

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!"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I would appreciate it if you could add a few more items to the continental breakfast menu."

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."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The king room with a balcony was spacious, sleek and clean. Our room was by the door to the hallway and luckily we were there on a Thursday night so it wasn’t too active. The hot tub is wonderful and the staff are really helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again! The coffee and continental breakfast was a good way to start the day."

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."

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"Nice location and helpful staff."
