"We just walked in and turned out they had rooms! Lots of great features!
It is very cute and feels personal, very friendly stuff! 
loved the design beautiful in and out, and really well done finishes with heated bathroom floors! 
Restaurant has happy hours and good menu! The octopus was delicious!
Location is awesome 15 min walk from the Pier and all Main Street. Nice beach just across the street. 
Would stay there again!"

"If you are looking for a classy getaway on the central coast, look no further than the pristine Santa Barbara Inn, an upscale boutique resort which completed its renovation in 2016. My family and I visited the Inn for a few summer nights and had a top-notch experience. We stayed in two rooms with uniquely different views; one displayed the majestic mountains and the other showcased the palm tree-lined Pacific Ocean."

"The Santa Barbara recently re-opened and we didn't know what to expect when we booked a room for one night. Now that we have stayed, we only wish that we had booked a longer stay. The bright new rooms are beautiful and the location is perfect. The amenities were top notch with soft towels and bath robes. We even checked for the brand so that we could purchase the towels for our home. The bed was comfortable and luxurious. The service that we received from warm and friendly. The valet/bell staff greeted us when we pulled in and the Front Desk Receptionist seemed happy to have us stay. During our short stay we encountered a housekeeping employee who smiled and greeted us. Upon check out the Front Desk receptionist thanked us for staying. Overall the Inn is lovely, the staff are gracious, the amenities are luxurious and the room where we stayed was large and beautifully appointed. We will definitely be back!"

"This may have been the absolute best hotel experience I have ever had. My friend and I are doing a California road trip from SF to San Diego. After driving through Big Sur with no cell service for over 3 hours we decided to stay in Santa Barbara where all the hotels were sold out. Luckily, we found this place that only had rooms because they had just opened the day prior. From check in to check out EVERYTHING was perfect. The room was quite possibly the most beautiful hotel room I had ever seen..and we were the first ever people to stay in it. Currently, this hotel is ranked #40 of all SB hotels. I know with confidence that this place has the potential to make it to #1. Staff is friendly and knowledgable, food was great on the morning at Convivo restaurant. I truly cannot put into words how impressed I was..but anyone considering staying here absolutely should do so. You won't be disappointed. Best of luck to the SBI team!"
