Located 1 block from West Beach, this boutique Santa Barbara inn offers individually decorated rooms with free WiFi. Guests of this inn can enjoy free use of 3-speed bicycles.

The unique guest rooms at the Harbor House Inn include a TV with premium cable film channels and a Netflix account. Select rooms include a kitchen. All rooms offer air-conditioning as well as tea and coffee making facilities.

The location is great, two minute walk to the beach, less than 1/2miles to the pier. The kitchen although small had everything you could need, pots, pans, dishes, salt, pepper, coffee, hot chocolate and even some butter, micro, stove top, small fridge w/freezer. The motel is old but very well kept up and clean. The bed is quite high, wife had to use a chair to climb in, but was comfy and had a ton of covers. I will try to stay there again next time in Santa Barbara. The courtyard/parking area w/seating and plants is compressed but extremely attractive.

The accommodations at the Santa Barbara Casa Del Mar Inn include a work desk. In-room spa services are available upon request. A hair dryer and ironing facilities are provided.

Loved the room and the location. The breakfast buffet is definitely more of a snack not a real buffet. However, we were pleased to have coffee available. The wine and cheese, again very basic but a cute touch. Beds were comfortable!

This Santa Barbara inn is located next to Pershing Park and 2 blocks from the beach. The inn offers a daily continental breakfast, an outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi.

Lavender Inn by the Sea features a refrigerator and coffee maker in every guest room. DVD players and free movie rentals are also included in each room. Guests will also receive a welcome beverage.

I usually don't do written reviews, but this was by far the best Inn I've ever stayed at. Aron checked us in but what he actually did was being a tour guide telling us everything we could check out in the area, all while being one of the kindest human beings I've met. Then we got a free room upgrade and the new room was basically a flat including a fully equipped living room. In addition, they provide you with champagne on the house upon arrival, every single day there is a complimentary wine tasting with snacks, you can fill up your water bottle as often as you'd like free of charge all day, there is a really nice pool, and you can do laundry (wash and dry including detergent for four dollars) and rent bikes for free at their partner hotel across the street. I'm still speechless as they offer all this at a comparably really low price and everything is super clean, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the location js just perfect, no matter if you arrive by car or train, and the beach as well as downtown are within walking distance. Thank you so much for everything!
