    spacious rooms
    great pool area
    ocean view room
    out of order spa

    Had an awesome time with my friends! We explored some of the prettiest parks and hiking trails nearby. The pool area is great and the rooms are spacious. I'd recommend getting an ocean view room if you can!

    We had a small hiccup when one of the spas was out of order during our stay, but it didn't ruin our fun.

    convenient location, modern rooms, nice pool area

    Room placement way too distant from the main facilities!!! Disappointing lack of complimentary water, especially when other amenities were underwhelming. Elevators out and confusion during valet parking left a bad impression!!!

    comfortable bed

    will come back

    The north wing city king room was spacious and super clean, felt really new. Bathroom was particularly nice. Bed was extremely comfortable. Location is perfect, super close to the funk zone with restaurants and bars. Easy bike rentals available too. Free wifi worked well. Didn't love the view but was fine since we spent little time in the room.

    air conditioning issue

    I recently stayed at Harbor View Inn and loved its fantastic location just steps from the beach. The rooms were modern and comfortable, perfect after a day of exploring. A small hiccup with the air conditioning kept me from a perfect stay, but overall, it was good.

    The hotel is beautifully decorated and easily accessible, with spacious rooms and lovely views of the ocean. I particularly appreciated the friendly staff and the quality of the amenities, making it a comfortable and relaxing stay.

    A cocktail bar by the pool would be nice.

    family friendly
    limited dining options

    We had a wonderful time at this hotel! The location is perfect for exploring downtown Santa Barbara with our family and dogs. We especially loved walking to the nearby beaches and parks, soaking in the stunning ocean views. The room was spacious, accommodating our needs easily.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly dining options nearby.

    ocean view
    basic amenities

    great view but some small concerns

    The room had beautiful decor, contributing to a pleasant ambiance. The large balcony gave us stunning ocean views that truly enhanced our experience.

    While everything was good overall, some amenities felt slightly basic for the price range.

    Strongly recommend for a city holiday

    Cozy room, spacious area, with a large lounging space for relaxing and a convenient beach access that made our weekend getaway enjoyable despite the weather being less than ideal for the pool.

    great location
    unexpected charge
    limited options
    poor view

    Spacious King Room with a City View offered a comfortable stay, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The entire staff, particularly housekeeping and front desk, was attentive and friendly. Great location near the beach, with plenty of dining options within walking distance. I appreciated the proximity to ice cream and coffee shops. However, I encountered an unexpected parking charge despite not using valet services, which needed follow-up for a refund, and the breakfast options were limited.

    big room
    clean facilities

    This was just an appropriate option for an overnight stop in Santa Barbara with outstanding value. The room was big and clean, and everything seemed to work well. For best results, check out Santo Mezcal for some excellent Mexican food nearby.
