I surprised my wife and 3 kids with a weekend stay at the Santa Barbara Inn for Mother's Day. My wife was a little tentative about a hotel stay during CV-19, but I assured her the hotel would be safe and we'd take every precaution we felt necessary. We weren't disappointed, and whatever reservations my wife initially felt were erased once we arrived at the hotel. The staff were all wearing protective equipment, courteous and friendly. The room was IMMACULATE and generously sized for our family. The quality and value of the hotel and room surpassed our expectations and I am already planning our return visit. I have a very happy wife!!!

We loved it as much as when we stayed 2 years ago. Times were a bit different with Covid but the hotel was super clean and the restaurant was delicious. So nice to be able to walk across the street to enjoy the beach! We will be back!

​The staff and all were amazing. The room was immaculate and the bed was super comfortable. Awesome way to spend our Anniversary. The wine in our room was an unexpected and appreciated surprise. We will be back.

​Great old Santa Barbara architecture with a very boutique feel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is current and beautiful. The gas lamps around the property at night are magical. Room was large and balcony too. It was nice and quiet, perfect setting for a romantic getaway or with family. Location is right across from the beach and a short walk to the pier. Would definitely recommend!
