    spacious room
    happy hour
    limited breakfast variety

    I had a lovely two-night stay in a spacious Standard Queen Room where I enjoyed the free breakfast options and the relaxing garden area. The outdoor swimming pool was a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The happy hour with wine and snacks was a nice touch. The only thing I'd suggest is that the breakfast could use a bit more variety over a longer stay. ☀️

    complimentary wine hour
    friendly staff
    great location
    dated room
    loud fridge

    Had an awesome time here with friends! We loved the complimentary cheese and wine hour and enjoyed lounging by the pool. The location is great for exploring spots like the beach and Salt Cave SB, which was a unique experience for our group. The staff was super friendly, and the breakfast options were decent, especially the pastries.

    Our room was a bit dated and could use some modernization. The fridge was pretty loud and woke me up at night, which was a bit of a bother.

    update needed

    I had a lovely stay at Inn By The Harbor. The welcome on arrival was fantastic. the staff jumped at the chance to help. The complimentary wine and cheese hour was a nice touch, though I didn't get to enjoy it much because we were busy exploring. The courtyard was absolutely beautiful and inviting. I really appreciated the free bike hire, perfect for checking out the nearby areas. The breakfast had decent options like pastries and fruit, just what I needed to start the day. I did notice that the room could use some updating. although it was clean and comfortable, the kitchen area lacked a door, which made it a bit noisy at night with the fridge. Also, the pool was small but had plenty of seating, which made it nice to relax by. Overall, I loved the charm of the place, but a few updates could make it even better.

    great spot for walking to parks and exploring nearby landmarks

    The staff was fantastic, and I really appreciated the free bikes, which made exploring the area a breeze. I loved being just a 10-minute stroll from Ambassador Park, where I could unwind and enjoy the beautiful views. I stayed in a comfortable standard queen room, making it an ideal choice for a solo traveler like me wanting to immerse in the local charm, but the rooms could use a refreshing touch.

    fantastic location
    tiny room

    Charming stay with delightful little touches, lovely pool area, and a fantastic location. We could walk to attractions easily and enjoy the surroundings. Perfect for our family getaway!

    But seriously, the room was smaller than my handbag!

    friendly staff
    cheese and wine hour
    high room cost
    intimidating walk
    inadequate lighting

    The staff exuded warmth and hospitality, making every interaction delightful, particularly during the free cheese and wine hour. The room was spotless and comfortable, complemented by the convenience of bike rentals for exploring the area. However, walking back from the Funk Zone at night felt a bit unsettling due to inadequate public lighting.

    We enjoyed a lovely two-night stay that felt like a mini getaway. The garden views were breathtaking, and the complimentary cheese and wine hour was a delightful surprise. Don’t miss out on the free bicycles—exploring Santa Barbara on two wheels was a highlight of our trip!
