Coast Village Inn

Great stay and lose to everything. Love this property

We really appreciated how kind the service people were. The room was very clean. The bathroom needs a fan and the shower needs to be redone. It was small and water flow was so low. The curtains were hard to open and shut. The bed was super comfortable and the blankets were great! Overall a really good experience.

We enjoyed the quaint and quiet area nice place to just walk around and go to the nearby coffee houses. The hotel itself is very dated though I find it clean to a certain standard and the staff is nice. They can use a little updating so the guests will be more comfortable. Overall, satisfactory.

Decent.... strong smell of chlorine or csomething. But room was great!

The perfect little hotel that’s walkable on Coast Village Rd. Right in the heart of Montecito and easy access to restaurants, shops, and more. It’s simple, classic, and very charming.

Great location and ambiance!

Nice little retro motor inn set back from the road a bit in the village of Montecito. Spit-shined rooms are on the small side, with old fashioned windows that open and a ceiling fan but no A/C. Bathrooms are particularly tight but the shower (our room had no tub) was fairly roomy with a light rain-style water pressure). Room had a set of drawers, an open closet space and a bit of room to move around. (Adequate for 2 persons but definitely not roomy.) Coffee in room or in the lobby, no breakfast. Several breakfast places within a few blocks walk. The 2nd floor rooms are only accessible by a steep flight of stairs, may be difficult for some with luggage but staff is happy to help if available. Parking, a bit tight for large cars, is in front of and behind the motel. Walk to everything in town or under the freeway (via tunnel) to Butterfly Beach. A dozen or so free beach cruiser bikes for guest use and it's an easy ride along Butterfly Beach and up around the cemetery into Santa Barbara and along the beach strand. (On the way back though you'll have some uphill climbs to walk/deal with and might take the main drag back instead, Cabrillo-to-Hot-Springs roundabout-to Coast Village Road. there is a bike lane. Five stars not because it's the Ritz or comparable, but because for what it is, a retro motel nicely kept over the decades, it's a good choice in a very pricey area if you're ok with the little quirk. It's kinda nice that this place still exists and has not been replaced by yet another sleek white-and-black generic dull modern box. Your little room will take you back to the 50s or 60s and the "this place needs an update" crowd will not be happy here.

Our stay here was fabulous! Nearly restaurants are excellent and close to the beach! We love biking in the area and that is a huge bonus!!
