Santa Barbara Inn

My families stay at the Harbor View Inn, Santa Barbara was perfect and a great value! The location made it easy to walk to the best restaurants, shops, and the beach. Noise from the street did not reach our room on the third floor. The Inn is beautiful inside and out. Our room and bath was clean and spacious, the beds, pillows and sheets comfortable. Great sleep was had! I especially liked the robes left for our use. My family and I enjoyed the balcony, and the ability to sit outside, just breathe in the atmosphere for a quiet moment. The Inn’s grounds are lovely, the pool and hot tub are well kept, lounge chairs and towels provided. The Inn staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. A huge shout out to Cameron at the front desk who answered all my questions patiently. I look forward to another visit to Santa Barbara with my family.

After a long day of travel, we checked in at 9:20 pm. We asked if that was the restaurant/bar behind the desk and the hotel person said yes. We took our bags to our room and then headed to the bar. There were two empty seats at the bar. We sat down at 9:31 and the bartender said she was closed. There were 3 other patrons to our right and two to our left. They were all chatty and having libations. Taking pity on us, the bartender said she would serve us beer or wine even though we wanted hard spirits. She filled our order then said we had to leave the bar because they were closed. The fire pit outside was shut off as well so our only choice was the lobby or our room. We’ve never heard of a hotel bar closing this early, especially when it had paying customers eager to drink. I went to the lobby the next morning to share my frustration and was told the bar/restaurant had been contracted out to a third party. Hours of operation need to be renovated. I also hoped to get some complimentary coffee in the morning - it was 8:35 am and much to my chagrin, they stopped serving that at 8:30 am. Seems early to stop the coffee. Communication and customer service is not valued at this establishment . The room was nice and quiet and the amenities were included . valet was also courteous We had thought to spend two nights but decided their schedules were not conducive to our needs .

Comfortable bed, very good location of the hotel, breakfast was very good and overall professional and friendly staff, including the valet. Good size room. Bed a little too soft for our taste and the bedroom linens could use an update. But overall satisfied with our stay to this beautiful town and the surrounding area.

We loved the size of the hotel, its proximity to the beach and the fabulous Convivo restaurant.

It was quite a walk from the down town area. We walked in the day but Ubered at night.

The outside grounds. Staff was nice.

Charge for parking. Restaurant was like a nice cafeteria. Beds were too soft. Interior was a bunch of long hallways. Locations forced travel by car to other restaurants, etc. Overnight price way too expensive for what was offered.

It was across the street from the ocean. Beautiful view!

It was very irritatng to have to go down to the lobby to get coffee in the morning! Every other hotel I know has coffee makers in the room! I just went down with my bathrobe, my hair mess, but I didn’t care because that’s what they’re forcing us to do, so that’s what they’re going to get. We had a family reunion there and I found out that if you booked directly with the hotel, you got $25 credit towards breakfast in the restaurant. But on Booking.com, I was told that is not included. For such an expensive hotel, you would think that you would at least have a buffet breakfast. But no,You have to order off the menu. I was told that the restaurant was trying to force your attendance to buy there.

The valet was nice and helpful. The server at the restaurant Convivo for our lunch was good.

THE DISGUSTING MUSTY & MILDEW SMELL IN OUR OLD DATED ROOM WAS AWFUL. We left with headaches from the smell and had to wash everything that was brought into the hotel as the smell permeated everything. The furniture, furnishings, bedding, pillows - all of it had the musty mildewy smell.

Service goed, vriendelijk personeel

De gang naar de kamer straalt niets uit , inrichting g beetje ouderwets
