Guest Reviews
- Kenneth (10/5): - Done just it should be….
- Kathryn (6/5): - Excellent customer service, easy check-in/out, and great location. Ask for a room away from the street for less noise. Fine overall, but as is typical in the area, quite expensive for a somewhat standard room lacking in luxury.
- Cheryl (10/5): - The Inn at Summer Hill is a quaint little hotel with lots of charm in the city of Summerland. I stayed here while visiting my niece and I would definitely stay here again. The room was like a little cottage, and it had a patio that overlooked the ocean. The staff at the front desk was amazing and went out of their way to comp me breakfast and coffee. I felt very safe as well. The only negatives are the Road Noise and nearby train and there doesn't seem to be a daily cleaning service-if so, they missed my room.
- Wendy (8/5): Anniversary staycation - We ended up here for a last minute staycation for our anniversary. Beautiful room, beautiful view. Friendly staff. Got upgraded to a breakfast and happy hour which you usually only get booking direct. My only complaint and it’s kind of a big one is our shower didn’t work…at all. Didn’t realize until late at night so didn’t want to bother staff. We let them know at check out and they said they would have someone look into it, but I was disappointed that there was no discount offered due to this. For almost $500 I expected to be able to take a shower. This is a lot of $ for us and definitely a splurge, so it’s a bit disappointing. But that aside it was the perfect getaway.
- Lydia (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little inn. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was full of thoughtful touches—including a sound machine, which we set to ocean waves. It completely drowned out any highway noise, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. We’ll absolutely be back!
- Jimmy (10/5): - Wonderful place staff was great will definitely stay again. Just a few minutes from Santa Barbara.
- JANE (10/5): - Nora assisted me by phone and greeted me upon arrival - introducing herself, which was most welcoming! I arrived early and she still quickly showed me to my beautiful room overlooking the ocean. I love it! I’d seen this room on the website and admired it even then. Very happily installed here. Will visit again.
- William (10/5): - Great location on Lillie Ave within walking distance to breakfast and lunch eateries. Great trendy shopping and fabulous bookstore all nearby. Be aware the hotel is near the freeway and rail tracks, as is all of Summerland, so it can be noisy if you leave the window open.
- vickie (8/5): - The only negative at the hotel is that it is directly next to Highway 101. We had difficulty sleeping because of the traffic noise. Other than that, it was a nice hotel.
- Berivan (6/5): - It’s right by the freeway and loud. Early check in and check out is $25 per hour extra. Even though their website says breakfast is included, it’s not. They did not even want to give us the free coffee in the lobby saying we booked through a third party. We booked through Expedia and it was not cheap at all. For $350 a night, this was not what I expected. Hotel is clean and the room was nice. And the area is also nice.
- Cynthia (10/5): - Loved the comphy beds!
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Beautiful setting, tastefully decorated rooms that were very comfortable and luxurious
- Anne (10/5): - Lovely room. Relaxed vibe.
- David (8/5): - Great Property - A bit pricey and the coffee service was minimalist... Beautiful room with an incredibly comfortable bed... We will definitely be coming back!
- Christopher (10/5): - Fantastic place to stay! Great staff, great location, beautiful memories!
- Christie (10/5): - Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!
- Don (6/5): - Freeway noise was terrible
- Robert (10/5): - wonderful and romantic place to stay we loved it . Thanks for letting us make memories there for our anniversary, my wife's Birthday and of course we arrived on Valentines day! Robert & Jennifer
- Nancy (10/5): - What an amazing little get away for visitors from LA or even from Santa Barbara! We loved all the little bites they provided and the great view.
- Darlene (8/5): - Great location within walking distance to some good food and stores. Only problem was when someone decided to take a bath at midnight. Very loud plumbing. Definitely it drowned out the freeway noise.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Not in Santa Barbara!! - Nice hotel, ask for a room away from the freeway. We booked the hotel because the address was Santa Barbara but it was in Summerland!
- Michelle (6/5): Not worth the cost. - The Inn is quaint, but not a four star/diamond place to stay and is very overpriced. As others have shared, it sits right along hwy101 so it is so loud it’s not worth having your slider or even your blinds open- you won’t hear the ocean anyway, and because the deck is essentially a shared deck divided by railing it’s extremely not private. The room furnishings and decor are a little outdated and worn, the tub jets were filthy, and the bed was absolutely awful (so so saggy). We did not sleep well at all. The staff is friendly but the lobby and breakfast area are very small, and the food served is Holiday Inn quality (think yogurt hard potatoes, and precut cheese cubes from Safeway ). Their “spa” is not a spa, but a room they have two massage tables in downstairs. There isn’t even a check in desk. Our very expensive “spa” services were very mediocre and not relaxing- the therapists talked to each other much of the time and my facial was in the same space as my partner’s massage. We absolutely wouldn’t stay here again, but we would, though, visit the Stonehouse for dinner again- WOW.
- Jessica (10/5): - Charming room! Miguel at check in was so kind. Breakfast was enjoyable. While propert and room was very clean and well kept
- Evelyn (8/5): - I was very impressed by the friendly service, cleanliness and overall vibe of the place. I had only one issue and it was the sound of the traffic. Unfortunately, the cars went by all night and it was during the week. If your not looking for quiet then it is a lovely little gem.
- Miles (10/5): - Beautiful inn. The view of the ocean was stunning, the staff was friendly, the kitchen served an excellent breakfast and snacks, and overall we had a great time there. Amazingly comfortable bed!
- Craig (10/5): - Breakfast with staff cooking scrambled egg and bacon. Wine and cheese with crackers in the evening. Goodies served later. Ocean sound machine in room with fireplace. Fantastic B and B.
- Josh (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here. The room was cute and clean and more than anything the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins playing in the water. Close proximity to Montecito and Santa Barara was also a huge plus for us. Highly recommend.
- Taylor (10/5): - Wonderful service and accomodations. I'll look forward to visiting again!
- Matthew (8/5): - Room was great. Romantic feeling and cozy. The only real issue I can imagine is it being right next to a freeway. Inside the room it didn't matter so much, but it's quite noisy on the balcony. Overall, great room though. Close to Santa Barbara (<10 minutes drive) and Summerland is a cute town to explore.
- Robert (6/5): - Way too loud with constant highway and street noise. Room was expensive. I should have more carefully looked at reviews. Could not relax on nice deck overlooking highway and ocean due to crazy loudness
- Ryan (8/5): - I had a lovely stay, but was not aware that the beach sand contains tar. I had to use hotel towels and body oil to remyif from my feet. Then I was charged for those towels. There should be a guest notice regarding the beach tar so guests can be prepared. My intention was to enjoy the beach, not have tar stick to my feet that then ruined the towels I had to use. Paper towels did not work. I had to ask the park ranger how to remote tar
- Dominique (10/5): - It was a lovely property.
- Bonnie (10/5): - This place was so warm and cozy. I will definitely come back in the future.
- Trina (10/5): - We had an excellent stay. Location to the beach, Santa Barbara, montecito and Carpenteria was perfect
- Sarah (10/5): - Beautiful ocean view and walk to gorgeous beach with sea lions and dolphins and cliffs and birds. Very few people walking dogs. A few miles long and great for a run. Rooms beautiful and no issue with noise. Continental breakfast was delicious especially the bacon and eating outside. Will definitely stay there again!!
- Phillip (6/5): Cute Inn by the highway - Super cute little Inn! We absolutely loved our short stay! The road noise was horrible, I feel terrible for this tiny town. The staff was less than friendly but interaction was minimal.
- Amita (10/5): - very nicely maintained property
- Todd (10/5): - Very nice Inn. Would recommend
- David (10/5): - Elegantly done. Tasteful.
- David (6/5): - Nice, cute small property in Summerland. Nice ocean views. Large rooms with balconies. Bathrooms are old. Freeway noise is loud.
- Mayra (10/5): - I love that this place was super clean. The towels were semi new and soft. Also, the place was quiet and had a nice view from the balcony. The staff was nice and friendly and made you feel welcome.
- Maria (8/5): - Great location
- Patrick (10/5): - Wine welcome very nice. Breakfast very good. Good location. Very pleasant staff.
- julia (10/5): - It’s in a small community with a 10 minute walk or three minute drive to anywhere in the town the beaches all of 15 minutes away if you walk maybe five minutes by car I’ve been in this town before but I’m staying and so far so good I haven’t checked out yet
- Kevin (10/5): - The place and environment was chill. Great staff
- Eric (10/5): - Excellent place.
- Lorna (2/5): - We didn’t stay because it’s right next to the freeway and very noisy. We went somewhere else.
- Courtney (8/5): - Cute, clean and convenient to Santa Barbara. Walking distance to some really nice shops. We walked each day to the Red Kettle Coffee which was great and dinner at The Nugget which was also nice. Overall, nice place however as others stated it’s right on highway so be prepared for that. noise didn’t bother us, they provide sound machine and earplugs if you need them
- Carmen (8/5): - Hospitality was great- Sofia and Natalie welcomed us and we’re very helpful with suggestions and offered us wine/cheese and then to come back later for desserts. Breakfast was good. Unfortunately we could hear the guests upstairs walking around which disturbed our sleep.
- Michael (10/5): - Nice property.
- Frederica (8/5): - Clean, friendly staff, great location. They are trying a new system for breakfast and that needs some work.
- Martha (10/5): - The staff welcomed us with wine and cheese/ crackers and was very accommodating and provided stellar service. The inn is beautiful with ocean view across the highway. Like all other places in the area you hear the highway, but not the ocean waves. The inn also provided lil breakfast in the morning, but there are other cafes within walking distance. Love this place and would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (2/5): check in was awful - Check in process was a nightmare. Hotel requires separate forms for billing even though it went through hotels.com. Staff was not polite when dealing with these issues.
- Carole (10/5): Love this Inn!! - Fabulous stay! Chris checked us in and was fantastic. Made us feel welcome, told us about all of the amenities (free cheese and wine hour, dessert hour, etc). We arrived a little early for check in. Our room was ready. Such a cute and lovely place to stay. Great location. Will definitely stay again!
- Cameron (8/5): - Our stay was very pleasant. Checking in was simple and nearly complete when we arrived. Just a few signatures and it was done. The complimentary afternoon snacks were perfect appetizer prior to going to dinner. I do miss the small puff pastry they used to have for snacks but that is splitting hairs. The room was clean and quiet. The music playing on entry was a nice touch. The continental breakfast was good and the chef was nice and helpful. I would recommend staying here.
- Nancy (10/5): - Beautiful!! We really enjoyed our stay 💕 we’ll definitely be coming back.
- kristi (8/5): Nice weekend in Santa Barbara - Nice hotel and clean! Set right beside 101! Noise from highway on patio but slept well! Breakfast was great and staff was nice!
- Dale (10/5): - Second time there. Lovely little Inn and the breakfast was great.
- christiane (10/5): - wonderful welcome and really nice and clean hotel ..
- John (10/5): - This was our 3rd time staying and as always we enjoyed our stay. Great place and great service.
- Patricia (10/5): - This is the cutest little Inn. The staff was extremely friendly and the Breakfast was outstanding. The room was very homey, fireplace was beautiful and jacuzzi really nice.
- MAURICIO (10/5): - Everything
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a CNN lively, relaxing stay and a nice getaway!
- Sydel (10/5): - Loved our stay, beautiful hotel!!
- Leanne (10/5): - Staff was super friendly and you can't beat the ocean view! Chef was also great and made us a delicious breakfast we enjoyed on our patio overlooking the water.
- DIVINA (8/5): - The place has a beautiful view off your balcony. The room was relaxing and inviting with a jetted tub. The staff was friendly. The only complaint I have is the freeway noise is very hard to drown out. Nothing they can do with that because of the location.
- Beth (8/5): - Very unique property. Rooms are fantastic! Be prepared for hwy noise (but they provide ear plugs). Service could be better in terms of not closing the office at 3 pm. That is WAY too early.
- Brian (6/5): - Cute motel-like property overlooking the freeway and elevated train tracks. Convenient place to stay away from Santa Barbara if you don’t mind train and highway noise.
- Ralfanna (4/5): - Very close to the freeway- VERY noisy! P
- Richard B (10/5): - Enjoyed the beach cottage architecture. Need to update bathrooms with more light.
- Michelle (8/5): - The Inn is very cute but noisy next to the main hwy. We had a nice view of the ocean and the cookies and breakfast were good. We were disappointed that they put us in a room below someone else and there were only 2 other guests staying at the Inn. With all the empty rooms that night, you think they could have given us a different room.
- Allen (10/5): - Rooms and service were all lovely. The daily breakfast was tasty and beyond my expectations.
- Mary Rene (10/5): - Laura was so gracious and friendly checking us in and out. The continental breakfast was much more than we expected. It was a lovely room and comfortable bed, Even though the 101 is right across the street the room had ear plugs and a white noise machine, we didn't need either. It was quiet.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Staff was excellent and available. The room was welcoming and lovely. I forgot something in the room when we left and they called and emailed me immediately. That was pretty cool and much appreciated.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful service at the front desk and a great breakfast prepared just the way you like it. I would highly recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely views and convenient for walking. Beautiful room. Enjoyed the stay and will visit again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Quick Summerland Trip - Summerland and the surrounding area was beautiful. Lovely view from balcony. Hotel needs to be updated. Staff is friendly. Location was good. Room was ok, but could be so much nicer. Wood floors felt unclean.
- Kirstin (4/5): Don’t Get Suckered - Unfriendly desk clerk at check-in. At check out, the clerk never even asked “How was your stay?” That’s ridiculous. There was a giant chunk out of the crown molding in the bathroom. A botched caulking job around the faucet in the tub. Freeway noise is CRAZY loud, but I should’ve recognized this from the location on the map. I got drawn in by the whole “room with ocean view. Never coming back to this place. Trash management, clearly.
- Wendy (10/5): What you always hope for with a room - Lovely room, very comfortable bed and very friendly staff
- Joseph (8/5): Had a good weekedn - Fixtures are a little outdated like the shower trim plate falling off and the rooms being a little dirty but the staff and location make this hotel a worthwhile stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - All excellent. Just a better n timely breakfast would be appreciated
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Was difficult to get an uber/lyft from this area for some reason. We had to go old school and call a cab to get into Santa Barbara. Maybe this was due to lots of people being here for memorial day weekend and there just aren't enough people still driving for uber/lyft post covid yet. Wont hold this against the Inn on Summer Hill, but just something for people to be aware of.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I absolutely loved this bed and breakfast!!! I had planned a little weekend getaway for my Birthday. Well,it also happened to be on Easter weekend. Everything in Santa Barbara was so expensive, but this place was just the right place with everything I wanted!!! A wonderful ocean view, free parking, jacuzzi tub, balcony, yummy breakfast in bed served to you every morning, and free wine and delicious desserts are given to you every day!!! What more could you want, plus in the darling little town of Summerland!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice romantic, and peaceful getaway!!!! We loved it!!! :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This place was great. Although it is located next to the freeway, there was very little road noise from our room. The rooms are adorable and the bed was very comfy. There was a yummy free breakfast every morning, and dessert every night. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
- Sarah (10/5): Great for couples! - Our stay this past weekend was excellent! The room was exactly as we expected it, clean, and very comfortable. The view of the ocean was gorgeous and made for a very romantic and relaxing getaway. They provided a half bottle of wine upon check-in, and breakfast at your door each morning. Also the little town of Summerland is adorable and perfect for a short couple's getaway. We couldn't have been more pleased!
- Mike (4/5): Disappointed stay - Dissatisfied. Paid extra for the convenience of a second bathroom. The second bathroom was unusable. Toilet didn’t work properly. The shower didn’t work at all. Upon leaving manager said they couldn’t do any price adjustment since I booked thru Hotels.com. So beware. She said she would send email for discount on next stay. She never did. But who would want to stay there again anyways. After this experience. Furthermore the room was extremely noisy form traffic and trains. If you value sleep don’t stay here. The room was clean and comfortable despite all the other issues. But considering how much I spent $$ was expecting more. I know they say you can please everyone but I don’t think anyone would have been satisfied with this experience.
- Paula (10/5): - Very accommodating delicious breakfast & coffee delivered to our room.
- Erin (10/5): - Most beautiful and peaceful place I’ve ever stayed.
- NeboR. (8/5): - It's a nice rustic inn 10 minutes away from Santa Barbara. The beds are nice and comfy and the rooms are clean and pretty spacious. The only downsides are that the amenities are closed due to COVID and, if you are a light sleeper, the inn is probably too close to the highway. It doesn't get too loud but you can definitely hear the traffic.
- Patrick (10/5): - So nice! Anniversary trip and we were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries and wine. Breakfast delivered to the room every morning! Beautiful room and clean...Excellent service!!
- NERI (6/5): - They do not have an excellent breakfast menu as they did in the past, which is the whole point of staying at a bed and breakfast. We were offered scrambled eggs. ☹
- Brad (10/5): September 5 2020 - Beautiful room Excellent service and a great breakfast!
- Jasmine (10/5): - The room was really alaizng
- Chris (10/5): - Even though the property was steps away from the 101 freeway, when the sliding glass door was closed it was unnoticeable. Beautiful ocean views from the patio, a comfortable bed and complimentary wine and cookies!! Breakfast delivered to the room was super convenient and overall the wife and I had a wonderful overnight at Summerland!
- Maude (10/5): - Great!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ramon welcomed us like family.... had a glass of wine 🍷 and a nice snack near a warm fireplace. Rooms are beautiful and nicely decorated. Beds are perfect, bed sheets of good quality. Love to look out the patio door and see the ocean. Noise of the freeway is only negative. We will definitely return. Thank you
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The Inn is stellar and beautiful. The service is exceptional. Unfortunately if you walk onto your balcony you may see the pacific ocean, but all you hear is the very loud and busy 2012 freeway.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was amazing and Ramon at the front desk was great he gave us incredible service helpfu and informative about the things you guys provide at the hotel will definitely look forward to another get away here.
- MJ (10/5): - Staff was so nice, room was awesome and beautiful, wonderful stay. Loved all the succulents in their landscaping, too.
- Ian (6/5): - Inn is beautiful, staff very helpful and nice, loved the room and the daily breakfast and happy hour but unfortunately, at the end of the day, you expect to sleep which didnt happen due to the incessant noise from the close proximity to 101 and the honking train. The noise was so bothersome, we even kept the balcony doors closed during the day. If you are noise sensitive, this is not the place for you. If you can handle lots of nackground noise, go for it.
