Excellent stay! We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here 40 years ago and spent our wedding night here. Lovely to be back. They even made us our signature drink that we had at our rehearsal dinner, a scorpion. Staff is excellent, property is beautiful, we will be back!

GREAT ANNIVERSARY STAY      Tue, 06/17/25, 12:42 PM

Fabulous hotel, great staff, amazing bar appetizers, it was great. We had such a lovely time. The pool area is nice with umbrellas to provide some shade. Just across from the beach it’s a great location. We had a nice walk to the wharf and back.

EXCELLENT STAFF   June 13, 2025

Our family stayed at the Santa Barbara Inn for our son's wedding. The staff was excellent from the valet, to the cleaning staff to the restaurant servers to the front desk. They couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We will be back

EXCELLENT!   Jun 16, 2025

We enjoyed staying here. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful...Hotel is 2 min walking distance from the beach and state street about 7 minutes on a bike. Electric bikes are available for rental right across the street from the hotel. The pool was heated to a comfortable temperature. We also had breakfast and a dinner at convivo. The food was amazing. A lot of flavors. Drinks were delicious as well! Overall we enjoyed our stay very much at the Santa Barbara Inn.
