Stayed two nights in this beautiful property that's perfectly located near many of Santa Barbara's popular attractions: State Street shopping and dining, the Santa Barbara Courthouse, Stearns Wharf, Shoreline Park, etc. and just a short, scenic drive to Mission Santa Barbara and the lovely town of Montecito.The hotel staff was helpful, the room was wonderful (upgraded to an oceanfront room...

This place was perfect. We went during a slow season (Feb.) so I'm not sure, but parking may be an issue if it's busy. There was plenty of parking while we were here though. The breakfast at their restaurant was the best breakfast I've ever had. They even make their own fresh handmade jelly. It was all very good and... More

Harbor View is a nice hotel. Great room - HUGE. AMAZING BED. We slept forever. Went Rip Van Winkle up in there. The hotel amenities aren't amazing. Room service ends at 9. no restaurant. Apparently there is a nice spa, but everything was booked. On check in, we had to return to the lobby to sign something that the check... More

I had an excellent experience here. The rooms are very nice. The service is over the top spectacular. Marco and the others at the front desk went to great lengths to insure our visit was flawless. The men in the parking lot could not have been more professional (my hat off to Paul and Tosh...great job!). If you're new to... More

Very nice hotel. Clean, spacious, and right near the water. Restaurants and the main strip is a good walk, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with some exercise. My only disappointment was that after paying a good penny for the room we still had to pay additional for parking. The surrounding area is calm and beautiful. Definitely a romantic place... More

This hotel opposite the Pier is a real Gem. Warm and inviting greeting. The room was a little dated in decor but very comfortable, lovely bathroom and spotlessly clean. The room had a great balcony overlooking the pool and the esplanade and pier. Would have loved to have stayed another night or two to appreciate Santa Barbara's beauty. Great location... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely property, located at the foot of State St. in the center of Ol Town Santa Barbara. Just across the street, about a 2 minute walk is Sterns Wharf and a wonderful broad beach that extends for miles in either direction. The front desk staff is friendly and very helpful with lots of...

Booked this through hotwire. The standard room was a little dated, but very clean. The room itself was enormous with a small patio. We were offered an upgrade to an ocean view for $40, but we opted to stick with the standard room. Parking is $10 extra a day. Front desk staff was friendly. We were offered turn down service....
