The hotel is impressive when arriving at night. We enjoyed the charm of the lobby, the antique elevator and the elegant furniture in the room. There was beautiful tile in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and the combination of air conditioning and ceiling fan made it comfortable. All the staff is friendly and professional. There is valet parking.... More

I have stayed in plenty of boutique style inns around the country with history and character. When you hear these words your going to have to make compromises. The room was small, the bed is small and the bathroom and closets were small. However hotels like this can make up the difference in great service and cleanliness, the Montecito staff... More

The Montecito Inn is perhaps in one of the world's greatest locations, and the hotel is has elegant, yet relaxed feel. We had a great suite with a fireplace, but it seemed like the details (curtains, linens, carpets, etc.) hadn't been upgraded since the 1990s or so. Also, the breakfast was nothing to write home about - cold cereals, baked... More

This boutique hotel in the heart of Montecito is a wonderful, historic quaint inn to stay at. The rooms are furnished beautifully. The staff is friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast and complimentary bikes are provided with your stay. It was wonderful to get up and just walk into town for incredible shopping and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again... More

This is a charming small hotel conveniently located in beautiful Montecito, where everything is walking distance. Our rooms were clean and comfortable, and fairly quiet considering they faced the street. The bathroom was on the small side but perfectly adequate. The staff at this inn are excellent, very professional. There is a good choice of restaurants and cafes in town,... More

The Montecito Inn is a lovely little hotel. We have stayed there several times, most recently in early December 2012. The Inn has plenty of old world charm, well-appointed rooms, a nice fitness center and a more-than-adequate continental breakfast. There is also a coffee and water bar off the main lobby. You can easily walk to a number of Montecito... More

We stayed here on our way from Monterey to a flight back home from LA. We really liked it. We had no reservation but called several places as we were driving -- the location and value at Montecito Inn seemed good so we went for it and were happy with the choice. Staff are friendly and efficient. On check in... More

I spent a week in Santa Barbara for training purpose (Feb 24 - Mar 2). Montecito Inn was the recommended hotel and the resulting experience was fantastic. The hotel is particularly beautiful and full of history remarked by the presence of Charles Chaplin in most of the halls and lobby. The location is perfectly inserted into a very nice and... More
