"Pleasant place to stay in a beautiful town"

8.0

The location was good in that it was an easy walk from the train station, restaurants, downtown and the beach. The outdoor seating area is nice, especially at the end of the day. The pool area is also a plus. The hotel is well run and cared for. Reception was accommodating and we especially liked Lee. The breakfast was ok and the happy hour was a nice amenity.

The breakfast could use more variety; it was the same every day. The fitness center was really a very small room with only a treadmill, peloton bike, rowing machine and upright ski machine. The bed was too soft; mattress needs replacing. The Inn was pleasant but in our opinion overpriced; a solid three- (maybe four-) star establishment.

Great place to stay. Rooms are a little dated but a beautiful small personal hotel. Highly recommended. Not far from the centre and pier. And there is free bike hire and a daily wine happy hour!

"The price has really gone up in recent years, but it is still our go-to n Santa Barbara"

10.0

This inn is just lovely, and you can’t beat the location…you can walk everywhere (harbor, wharf, State Street). There is always a warm welcome, and wine and cheese at 5pm, and a nice breakfast (included). Parking is free. There is something so charming about this establishment that it just makes you happy 😍 While we have definitely seen significant prices increases over the years, it remains our go-to on our trips up north from Laguna.
