Inn By The Harbor - Santa Barbara

Lovely hotel with great amenities. Large spacious rooms with a kitchen and a warm welcome. Great location walking distance to the beach and the funk zone. Great pool and hot tub.

I wish I was able to remember all of the staff members names because every single one that I had an interaction with were extremely nice and accommodating. They were professional and kind. Any situation I needed help with they were there without an attitude. I made reservations over the phone and the price that I was given did not change at all. There were no surprises. I enjoyed breakfast every morning from 7:00 to 10:00. I also enjoyed the wine and snacks in the evening from 4:00 to 6:00. Oh and of course the pool and hot tub from 9:00 to 9:00. The hotel has a beautiful garden throughout it is well kept. The rooms were a decent size. The rooms were also clean. The best part is the champagne in the fridge! I got a room with a kitchen and two queen beds. My parents got a room with a queen bed. You get some quiet time in the room. You do not hear your neighbors. Plenty of parking. The hotel is located conveniently close to all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Most of the activities are walking distance from the hotel. They have two sister hotels nearby and you can go and enjoy the pools there too. We all enjoyed our time here. Thanks to everyone. In all seriousness, ALL the staff need recognition from the upper heads. They work hard. The complaints that I have are the beds and pillows are not comfortable.

Penny and I travelled down by Amtrak Coast Starlight. The Inn by the Harbor was a short 10 minute walk from the train station. We stayed in a king bed 1st floor room, that also had a small kitchen, and a sliding patio door to a lovely tropical courtyard. We enjoyed three days at the Inn. Our typical day started with a delicious complimentary breakfast choices of fruit, bagels, pastries, cereals, coffee and OJ. We enjoyed eating at the outside patio tables. From there we checked out free multi-speed bicycles, and rode the beach promenade, and then up State Street. A different adventure on each day. The bikes needed to be returned after four hours. We then soaked our tired muscles in the hot tub spa, and jumped into the brisk pool. After soaking up the afternoon sun, we joined happy hour with wine nibbles (pretzels, mixed nuts, chocolates). Afterwards, we would make the 5 minute walk to the beach for dinner. We truly enjoyed our stay, from check in with Jesus, to checkout with Sam. All the staff were pleasant and very helpful. Not sure when we might return, but would definitely stay here again.

We previously stayed here in 2020 and when we decided on going to Santa Barbara for our honeymoon, we decided to stay at The Inn at the Harbor. So glad we did! We were upgraded to a suite along with a bottle of champagne! Pleasant surprise!! The grounds still have that tropical feel and the room was awesome! Love the fact that we can park the car and walk to the waterfront. Thanks for contributing to making our special event even more special!

This was our third stay here and we can’t wait to come back again. We (my husband and I) love the charm and quaintness of this place. We love the large rooms, the kitchens, and the location. We parked our car three nights ago and never got back in it because everything was so walkable. This visit we got lucky and had a room right by the pool. We loved being just steps from the hot tub each night! The beds are comfy and the champagne in the fridge is such a pleasant extra! And like every visit, the hotel staff is always so friendly and helpful.
