"Beds weren’t too comfortable but the room was overall pretty clean. There were pieces of hair here and there in the bathroom. The room smelt of really strong bleach unfortunately and there was no switch to turn on the bathroom fan to try and air it out and the window didn’t open either. The hotel is very small and isn’t in a super scenic location but it was fine for the one night trip we had. We reserved the double queen and it was a good size with a small fridge, working AC, and lots of closet...

"The room was great! Comfy bed, nice shower, and even complimentary robes! The hot tub and pool were fantastic! It happened to be a cold few days, but the pool was heated and the hot tub was very large- could fit up to 14 ppl. Also, the hotel is an a super ideal location-Right in front of the harbor and the lively, beautiful pier. The complimentary, evening wine and snack hour was great! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The only downsides was that there was no microwave in the room...

"We absolutely LOVED everything about this quaint little hotel nestled beneath the palm trees near the beach. The customer service was top notch from the welcome email received right after booking, to the follow up saying they were looking forward to our arrival. Ben at the front desk treated us like family from the moment we walked in, greeting us with fresh coffee, warm cookies and the inside scoop on a map with everything we would want to see within walking distance. We were pleasantly...

8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (1003)
"Overall. A pleasant stay- clean, comfortable and affordable. We found out after booking that it’s $15a day to park, although we were able to find street parking (if you don’t mind searching for it at the end of the day). The Inn is kinda retro with a lot of sets of steps up, and down, to get to the second floor. If you don’t mind steps and kinda a “hostel” vibe with a lot of foreign travelers, the location is great and one of the more affordable places by the beach in Santa Barbara. "
