We stayed here for 1 night on our way to Los Angeles - the service was very good and the rooms lovely and spacious. We could park our car right outside our door and there was a free breakfast in the reception area as well as a laundry and swimmimh pool. We would stay here again.

We were very pleased with our experience at this hotel. We found all the staff to be genuinely friendly & most helpful and the "extras" were much appreciated like the wine & cheese afternoon / evenings & complementary breakfasts. The room was clean & quiet & close to the pool & wirlpool.

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I think of an Inn or Bed and Breakfast. I kind of expected something more intimate, but in any event, this was still a decent hotel. The rooms are clean and nice, there's a nice pool and whirpool and our room faced the courtyard. They also offer a free continental breakfast... More

We stayed 4 nights during a 3 week trip around USA and were looking forward to a relaxing stay in Santa Barbara after visiting 3 cities and a busy schedule. This hotel fitted the bill perfectly - old fashioned, comfortable, friendly with great rooms and a lovely pool and spa. The breakfasts were great and it was lovely to get... More

The Inn by the Harbor was our third hotel on the way down to LA. We were staying for two nights, arriving at about 7pm. Check in was really good. Frank (I hope I remember his name correctly) was on hand explaining the hotel facilities and really making us feel welcome. Inn by the Harbor is what I would always... More

Stayed here for a long weekend while attending a wedding. This might be the perfect location if you're looking for an affordable, adorable location. Rooms were simple but nice, the pool is very cute, clean and perfect. Location is ideal, close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Staying at a hotel on the beach would run you at least $300...

unfortunately we only spent 1 night on our drive through California at the Inn but we classed it as 1 of our favourite, the room was clean , comfortable and well presented. The staff were always smiling. The cheese and wine at 4.30 was special to be followed by cookies awesome!!!! If you are in the area Highly recommend it

We stayed here at the end of March as part of a 2 week trip through coastal California. The Inn by the Harbor was easily my favourite hotel of the whole trip. The room was clean, comfy and homely, the staff were very friendly, and the location was great. The breakfast was ample, and the extras such as the wine... More

Hotel rooms satisfactory and quiet. Pool, bar with continental breakfast, cheese and wine 4.30-6.30 and milk and cookies 6.30. First night went down into reception to see what the cheese and wine involved and met many lovely people and wine and cheese and biscuits flowed freely until 6.30. Very social atmosphere. We only wished we could have stayed longer than... More
