Wonderful Hotel in Santa Barbara! Review from Jan 20, 2026
The Santa Barbara Inn was a lovely place to spend time. The location is fabulous – right across the street from the beach. The rooms were lovely, spacious, and comfortable. We had dinner and breakfast in the on-site restaurant and both were excellent. Highly recommend this hotel.

The Best! Santa Barbara Inn 01/20/26
We stayed in a standard king room for 2 nights. Everything was great, from the check in to the check out. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very spacious snd immaculate, and we loved the location across from the beach. We walked to the zoo, which is just 1/2 mile away. We also enjoyed sitting outside at their restaurant, a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again.
