A very clean hotel. The location is excellent. It’s across from the beach and not too far from the downtown area. The check in and out was very smooth. I highly recommend if you want a clean peaceful place and to relax at the same time.

We had such a great stay at the SBI. The property is beautiful, our room was a great size and very very nice, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Couldn’t recommend more for your stay in Santa Barbara. | Liked: cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities.

A fantastic hotel in Santa Barbara. We arrive 3 hours before check in… no problem. The valet took our car and assured us that our cases would be taken to our room upon allocation… they were. Front desk … no problem, gave us a card the we could access the pool and explained where bar/ restaurant were. Our room… so good. Great king size bed, wonderful furnishings, superb bathroom. Plus views over the beach and ocean from a lovely balcony. Food from the restaurant … excellent. Do not hesitate just book it for the service you could desire.
