    Pleasant stay with friendly service.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Queen Room with Two Queen Beds
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The shutters in our room let in lots of light at night due parking lot spot lights. The laundry was directly below us in room 218 and they bang around each morning at 6am. I'd prefer real eggs for breakfast but the meal was far above most hotels meals and the service was excellent. It's a long walk to the main part of downtown so we drove when not on our bikes.

    The location was convenient to the waterfront and several restaurants. The room was nice, clean and spacious. The front desk staff were great. The room price included the use of bikes and helmets to ride as long as we wanted. It was convenient to get breakfast on site.

    There was some black specks in the ceiling and the wall by the tub was painted sloppy. It’s was two tones. The bed was not too supportive and there were stains on the box spring. A little bit of deep clean was needed especially given the prices. The prices was high but if I had more people it would’ve been ok.

    The breakfast was brought to us and it was good. The place was clean enough. It’s was great to park our car right next to the casita.

    We did have 2 issues with the in room safe requiring staff assistance but we were assisted promptly

    We stayed in the Jacuzzi tub suite which was very nice & roomy. The balcony was nice. Great location. Quiet neighborhood in residential area. Walking distance to State Street, Funk Zone, beach & 2 piers. The staff were very kind staff & helpful. The call to order breakfast was good with the option of in room service. The Inn reminded us of our stays in Italy. We would definitely stay here again & highly recommend The Eagle Inn. Thank you!

    They didn't mention to us we needed the key card for the fireplace and heater to work in the room. Usually, you insert the key card to operate all the electricity in the room, not just a couple of things, so we didn't figure it out until the next day. The terrace wasn't as private as we hoped.

    Location and room set-up. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and private. There was plenty of parking.

    We booked a Casita for 2 nights and couldn’t have had a nicer time at the Eagle Inn. Comfortable bed, lovely spa tub and fireplace and our own private covered parking. Short walk to the Harbor and Beach - which we loved. We’ll be back for sure. Nice touch with the free refillable water bottle!

    I would definitely consider the Eagle Inn for a future stay in Santa Barbara.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It is an older property. Some creaky floorboards, depressions in the carpeting and a steep staircase. Nothing I could not manage but people with mobility issues should request a ground floor room. Train horn is noticeable- but probably for most of Downtown Santa Barbara.

    The staff was very hospitable. The location was close enough to the train station for travelers on foot. The property is in a residential area and fairly quiet. The breakfast was tasty and just enough to get the day started.

    Nice location and quiet bed and breakfast.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • San Nicolas Casitas
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Coffee in room and breakfast room is a bit weak. Separate coffee machine in lobby has stronger coffee. Gate to the main house is locked between 10:00 pm and 7:30 am, so plan accordingly. Breakfast on the first day (eggs and bacon) included only one strip of bacon, no potatoes. Breakfast on second day had two strips of bacon and some potatoes, but it was evident that staff was not ready for us at 7:30......no coffee, tables not set, saw only one person cooking and serving. Perhaps someone didn't show up.

    San Niklas Casita is upstairs (above carport), separate from the main building, and is large and quiet. We didn't use the fancy tub, but the bed was very comfortable, and fireplace very cozy. Breakfast choices were good, although I prefer a buffet type setting. Cookies in afternoon are a nice touch, and filtered water dispenser made more sense than individual bottles of water.

    The room was noisy from the room above. On mentioning that to the office my wife was told we were in a cheap room. Our Aussie dollars did'nt think it was cheap.

    Location was great. Breakfast was nice enough but scant.

    The only thing I can think of, is better room coffee (maybe Peets or Starbucks pods). We went out for coffee each morning.

    I loved the large patio, fireplace, comfortable canopy bed, and the beach and restaurants within walking distance. I also appreciated the cleanliness and the staff, especially Peter. Peter was great! He was extremely helpful, attentive. and welcoming.
