Nice...but, not sure it's worth the $300
The hotel was nice and in a great location. However, I was expecting slightly more luxury for the price. The Best Western down the street gave it a run for its money.

Great location for a weekend break.
This hotel is in a really great location but the room had a funky smell and was not exceptional for what the normal rate would have been. Good hotel not great.

Great weekend getaway
Our first impression as we drove up was 'wow, great location'. Our second impression was the nice receptionist who was funny, thorough and professional. Once we got to the room we were impressed by its cleanliness, view, and were generally positively surprised at the good quality. Every contact with staff was pleasant, professional and helpful. There were lots of couples there, it was very romantic. We couldn't get the jacuzzi to work so that was kinda awkward, like sitting in a warm bath. Apart from that, great trip.

Great location with the beach
Great location with the beach and pier right across the street. The harbor is just a short walk away and shopping/drinking on State St. is also walking distance. The hotel room and grounds are 1st class. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Santa Barbara and the Harbor View Inn.

Weekender Away from LA
All that we expected
Although we didn't opt for a room with a full or partial harbor view, the view of the Santa Ynez Mountains from our room and deck was spectacular. The location is wonderful, the room spacious and comfortable, and the staff friendly. Can't report on the pool or fitness center as we didn't visit either. Would I come here again for a weekend away, absolutely!!

Perfect Location
We walked along the pier, had lunch and then sat around the pretty pool. We had a very nice dinner at the hotels cafe and received a 20% discount.

Very Beautiful and Comfortable
This is by far my favorite hotel in Santa Barbara. The service is impeccable and the surroundings are gorgeous! It is located right across the street from Stearns Warf and at the bottom of State St. so it is a great location. My family loves the pool because it is right across the street from the beach. I stayed in an ocean view room and it was so large and comforable. It had a balcony which overlooked the pool and the beach. The gardens are fabulous and the added bonus of room service seals the deal. I love It!

Shopping tip:
Short drive from hotel
The shopping in Santa Barbara is great. The Harbor View Inn is located at the bottom of State St. which has fabulous shopping! It has every store imaginable. It is either a long walk uptown or a short drive. There is public parking everywhere in Santa Barbara so parking is a breeze!
