Sleepless nights,
Doc Jul 19, 2009
I've had better nights' sleep in a tent. The rooms were extremely old, weird green carpet, discolored towels, one of the most ... uncomfortable beds I've ever been in, very dark (you can't open the windows or everyone and their mother can see in), TINY, and the worst of it was that it sounded like a herd of elephants over my head at 6am while people started waking up and the maids started going into rooms. It was pure torture, and we paid an obscene amount of money for that torture. I love Santa Barbara, but I've rarely felt like I was fleeing a city just to be in my own bed again. The only upside was that it was blocks from the beach and 3/4 mile from downtown, so it was all walkable. But at night, there are homeless people who will approach, so I wouldn't do it alone.

unexpected disappointment

The pictures are VERY deceiving! i paid a large amount of money and was very disappointed! no room service, small rooms, bad ... location. It felt like it hadn't been updated since the 90's. Rooms very stuffy and air conditioner didn't work well. I will be much more careful the next time i book a hotel online.

Pic looks great - hotel is NOT
Santa Barbara Lover Apr 22, 2009
The facade of the hotel is beautiful in the pix, but the hotel is like a Motel 6 upgrade. It is like they used a wide angle ... lens on the front - it is really tiny. Behind the lobby the long, narrow building which are the two rows of rooms on two floors. You park right in front of your room, and parking is precious - the view from your room is another long, skinny, drab, old apt building. Hotel is an older building (not in the historic GOOD way) and for the price not at all what I was expecting or hoping to find in beautiful Santa Barbara. So many other choices in this city and this hotel was expensive - so I would never stay here again. Not at all what I was hoping to experience.

Christmas Day
Jenifer Dec 26, 2008
My husband and I went to the Inn by the Harbor with my parents on Christmas Day. The rooms were cuter than I had anticipated. ... It was cozy and clean, with nice little accents and details. The rooms aren't all exactly the same--my parents paid the same for their room, yet our room had a larger flat-screen TV and a large stuffed chair in addition to the chair at the desk. There are DVD players in every room with free DVD rentals at the front desk and free wireless internet throughout the property. The surrounding location doesn't look like much, but it's actually a short walk to the Harbor and a five-minute drive to the Santa Barbara Mall (actually a large outdoor shopping location). I'd recommend it and would definitely stay again

My review of Inn by the Harbor
Larry Nov 25, 2008
We were very pleased with our stay----the wine and cheese were great, along with the cookies and milk!! We stayed in a room ... near the park and this room/area was very quiet. The office computer was very fast and the continental breakfast was more than ample!! We were only 2 blocks from the main harbor, and again my wife and I really enjoyed all aspects of the hotel!!! And if you like Mexican food you must visit both the Rose Cafe in town and La Super Rica on Milpas Street----awesome!! (La Super Rica was Julia Childs' favorite). While at La Super Rica Dennis Franz (you know--Andy Sipowicz of NYPD Blue) came in and sat ride down beside us---awesome---my first real live sighting of a TV star!!!)

Not good feeling
Debra Oct 6, 2008
While the attempt was there to update and older motel, I didn't feel safe in the neighborhood or the ground floor room. It ... was obvious it had been a smoking room in the past. What was clear to me is that the photographs of the place make it seem much nicer and nearer the beach that it actually is.

Susanna May 23, 2008
The Inn by the Harbor was a very convenient location and a very good value for the dollar. The staff was very helpful, the ... room was clean and comfortable, and the overall appearance was very nice. It would have been a bit cramped for 2 people but as I was by myself it was very comfortable. The best part for me, as I did not have a car, was the location not too far from either the harbor or the bus lines.

Access to town by walking great
Katharine Feb 12, 2008
Although the room was small, it had all the necessities, and was very attractive and clean. We enjoyed the sliding door ... access to the balcony and the view onto the quiet center courtyard. We especially enjoyed the wine and cheese offered in the late afternoon. The breakfast had ample choices so that we got a good start on our day and weren't hungry. We were visiting my brother and family whose home is in Santa Barbara, and had planned activities with them every evening and one full day. We did not wish to rent a car on top of that, but wanted to be independent during the day. This hotel allowed for easy access to the waterfront, and State Street, where we could choose to take the bus or go on foot.
