We had looked at a number of places in Santa Barbara when planning our trip, and we were taken by the value of the offer, including breakfast, and also the rave reviews for the hotel general manager, Frank. We were absoultely delighted with our stay here. Its got free parking, pretty sucure, has a small pool, and is literally a... More

The best thing about this hotel is Frank, the general manager. He is perfectly lovely and hospitable and so nice. Plus he makes really yummy jalapeno quiche! The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. My only drawback was that there wasn't a hairdryer in the room.

We arrived late in the afternoon after a long flight from Sydney Australia and a drive up the coast. Frank was very welcoming and gave us lots of restaurant vouchers and advice. Parking was free and our room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The room wasn't particularly soundproof but we were so tired we slept well. Included breakfast... More

We really enjoyed are stay at the Inn at East Beach and our visit to Santa Barbara. Frank really made us feel very welcome.

The manager, Frank, is a gentle soul. He knew and addressed me by name. We were provided with lots of discount coupons to local restaurant s. The rooms have been rennovated. Although they are very plain, they were extremely clean.

Have tried other motels nearby and settled happily here. The 90+ pics tell the story. How many inn keepers/ desk clerks do YOU usually want to pose with? Frank simply Is The Best. Also... More

The room was great, very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The property is a bit dated and the pool area nothing special but for the great price it's what you expect. The location is great being just a block back from the beach. What sets this motel apart is the service. Frank and his partner are incredibly friendly and point... More

I was a little worried booking at Inn at East Beach BECAUSE it was so expensive... I was worried that the low price and nice website were lures and that I would end up with a not-so-nice hotel. My worries were unfounded. This place was great, the staff is friendly, the breakfast is of course continental, so don't expect eggs... More

What they say is what they give. This is a nicely appointed, designer decorated boutique hotel, in a prime location--(1 block to beachfront, 1 block to zoo, walkable along causeway to Stearns Wharf and SB Visitor's Center, as well as, is conveniently bus-accessible to all points downtown). Highly maintained by both Frank and Linda who oversee all details for the... More
