CONS: - Hands down the worst mattress we have ever slept on, we could feel and hear the coils. When one of us got in or out of bed we thought it may collapse. To be fair, we were in room #19, maybe the mattress was bad only in that room, but it was very very very bad. - Tub/Shower faucet was difficult open - Ceiling fan light would not turn off. The room got hot so we had to leave the fan on but the light would not turn off and the only setting that worked was "high" - Lighting was not great, ceiling were too high for the LED bulbs they were using. - TV Remote was wonky, only buttons that worked were channel up/down and volume. PERSONAL MUSINGS: = I want to be fair to this property because it's adorable, priced fairly, employees were accommodating and friendly, and it's in a perfect location. That said, would I stay there again? Absolutely, but only IF they update the mattresses.

PROS: We went for a wedding at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center on the wharf. The hotel was 1.1 miles from the venue, which was perfect for us to quickly Uber from hotel to wedding. + Location is amazing. 2 blocks from the beach, 1 mile from the wharf. + Room was spacious + Relatively inexpensive for Santa Barbara + Added value great Grab & Go breakfast + Coffee machine available all day with plenty of variety to choose from + Great staff, friendly and helpful + Loved the nightstands, perfect for a CPAP + Spacious Bathroom / Good water pressure + Accommodated an early check in, HUGE plus after driving 3 hours to get there and wanted to shower, get dressed and relax before heading to the wedding.

There was nothing to dislike, but a larger breakfast area would improve the experience. The plumbing can be noisy.

Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, use of the pool and quiet at nighttime

The walls are thin :( If you’re on the bottom floor you can hear people above you really easily. Also the inn is a bit old so walls had some damage but nothing crazy.

The property was close to the beach and zoo! I loved walking around the area. It is a 30 minute walk from some of the more busy areas but I love walking so it was not an issue.

Breakfast was referred to as a "grab and go". Microwavable egg sandwich or burrito. wrapped muffins. No fresh fruit. Those super sweet "yogurts" that aren't really yogurt. The coffee was hot and fine.

the location was great; near the beach and walkable to a few eateries. But not right in the snazzy part of downtown. (fine with me) The beds were comfortable, the room clean. You can tell it's an older building, but they recently repainted the rooms. The pool looked great, we didn't swim but a family was enjoying it. Nice that it is off the street.

Small breakfast was a positive surprise, comfortable place located conveniently by the sea

I got the room because of the fireplace and it wasn't working at that point. BUT when I called the front desk, it sounded like a very temporary problem that happened to be randomly not working during our stay.

The walk to the beach would have been great if it weren't pouring rain when we went. This was a really cute hotel with, as my 16 year old stated, "a really fun vibe". It felt like an old school hotel that the stars would have visited in the 1950's. Very well kept up. And the beds were very comfortable, which was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving.

I did not like paying for parking in the middle of the week. The parking lot was almost empty.

The location was nice, very close to the beach. The breakfast was minimal..

Parking fee More breakfast options would be nice

Clean and well maintained

Stayed in February 2024

$15 extra for parking; glad we could find street parking to skip that charge. Breakfast was packaged muffins, and sadly burnt coffee.

Location, friendly staff, very clean, our room was in front & it was nice to have a big window looking out onto the neighborhood street. Found street parking in March; so skipped the $15 charge to park on cite

Older property-could use some upgrading.

Quiet, nice walk to beach.

Stayed in March 2024

Not sure why there was $50 charge for incidentals as there was no room service (no restaurant) and no mini bar. Accidentally spilled some water in the floor...wiped it up and the white cloth was brown! I totally understand a fee for pets and appreciate that pets are allowed but can’t understand why this fee is charged daily instead of just once….seems like a bit of a “money grab”. However staff were friendly and accommodating.

Location was good…near the beach. Appeared that the Inn had been renovated not too long ago. Funky style but nice.

Room decor and layout Parking and neighborhood location, toiletry products, enough towels, breakfast provided

Location a little far for walking distance to the main street. Coffee machine is there but was just presentation? no pods and coffee instead was in a thermos Rooms are a bit dimly lit

Staff were so helpful. rates were really good. extra confectionary items and drinks were charged at a very reasonable price

The rooms seem to have portable stand alone heater. The older wall heater doesn't work. This was the second time we'd stayed there. The first time we didn't know the heat didn't work and ended up being very cold until some staff member finally said there would be a stand alone heater in the closet. There was, but we did not feel comforable leaving it on all night. This time we checked for a heater as soon as we arrived, put it on and by the time to go to sleep, the room was warm and toasty and we turned it off to sleep. That was the only issue. They should have told us when we got there the first time. But, as you see, we did go again to the Inn at the Beach a second time. We would go again.

The rooms very clean. The staff was cordial and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The location was spectacular, close to the beach with a good restaurant facing the ocean. The place is a little dated, but the area felt safe and was very quiet.

I would love it if they would offer almond or oat milk with the morning coffee.

We had a King bed with a high ceiling. Very light, bright, and comfortable. The beach is a 2-minute walk, and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. All of the rooms face into the courtyard or pool area, but it's a surprisingly quiet hotel, which we like.

So close to East Beach!

Stayed in February 2024

There is road noise from 101, blinds on ground floor windows, bathroom sink was a little tricky, but works, louvre door to the bathroom.

Coffee was just enough — there were some good breakfast foods for a family. Newer quality toilet.

Stayed in February 2024

The breakfast was all prepackaged food. Nothing fresh.

The room was great! We had a suite and it had plenty of space for us as a family. The location was amazing. Walking distance from the zoo and the beach!
