We just had a wonderful anniversary getaway at this lovely little hotel. Amenities like the bottle of sparkling wine in your room at check-in, wine and cheese every afternoon with cookies to follow and robes in your room are quite nice (The wines are not wonderful but certainly drinkable). The location is superb - walking distance to ocean, restaurants and... More

Charming place very near the beach. We enjoyed a weekend here and the room was quiet and sweet although not large. Free bikes to ride are definitely a plus and they have done a great job of making you feel welcome. Just two blocks from Santa Barbara wine company and a few more to a fabulous deli called metropolis where... More

Since i came on this hotel after a Motel... More

This was a lovely place to stay over in Santa Barbara. The extra amenities they offered were really great. The dvd library available to guests was extensive, and even included new releases. The continental breakfast was decent considering the size of the hotel, and milk and cookies, cheese and crackers, and complimentary champagne or sparkling cider upon arrival were outstanding....

We stayed at the Lavender Inn for 1 night on the way from LA to San Francisco. The place is lovely with a very cosy home-like feel to it. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are nice as well. The beds are very comfortable indeed. As we stayed on the Christmas night I think the Inn was almost empty... More
