Montecito Inn

Everything was all right we had a delicious diner at very reasonable price at the hotel at the desk they were very king to guet and print our boarding past for our flight the next day thank you thank you

Friendly and courteous staff. The rooms are nicely redone in an old hotel built in the 20's by Charlie Chaplin. The bathrooms are small but efficient and with nice toiletries. The only negative is that is that the hotel is close to the 101 freeway, and there is a constant traffic buzz. On the plus side, a pleasant and cozy bar with a good selection of wines by the glass. The on premises restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. All in all a good experience

Close to shopping and beach,excellent and friendly staff,multiple dinig choices

Its low key, but elegant. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Enjoyable breakfast in sunny cafe. Located on main drag, easy walking to shops and restaurants. Valet parking at no extra charge!

Short Saturday night stay. Under $200 for a Saturday night through Orbitz. Great value for a summer weekend! They permitted an early check-in (10:30 a.m.). Very small room and thin walls but great service, great restaurant on premises and nearby. Tv nice with a DVD player and cable. Pool small but pleasant and fitness room satisfactory and well appointed with towels and water. Great access to freeway and a short bike ride to the beach on their free beach cruisers. If you stay in your room get a larger room. I'll stay again.

We only expirienced friendly and helpfull staff and the rooms have a wonderful classical and charming atmosphere. It was really a great place to bring children. Great dining at the hotel and just outside the hotel.

The hotel certainly has history and charm, but it is now bounded by the freeway and a very busy street and is therefore noisy. Our room was tiny, especially the bathroom (think airplane size plus a small shower stall), but the bathroom does have lovely hand-painted tiles and nice soaps and towels. The hotel does have pretty, old world decor in the public areas and fresh flowers througout - nice touch. The room has a small 'frig, good TV, DVD player, but is small. Just not our style. Folks into antiques might like it. Also, the complimentary continental breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary, especially for an award-winning cafe (but the coffee was excellent).

Very warm and friendly, elegant details in the room. The room was comfortable and cozy and the bed was so soft and welcoming. There wasn't a counter to put your things on as there was a pedestal sink in the bathroom, but the old-school style was worth the minor inconvenience. The location was charming, but my husband was disappointed that we could see the ocean from our window, just the roof of the hotel.

I thought the hotel although small had everything that I needed. Although the room was small and the view was a roof, as a single person it was fine for me. The queen bed was very comfortable, the maid service did a good job and the mini fridge was a plus. They have a small gym with an ellyptical, treadmill, free weights,recumbent bike and small machine set up. The walk to the beach is a good 2 blocks and the beach is small but nice. Although, I didn't dine at the hotel, it has a very good reputation. They have a small bar with a light menu and the staff was friendly. Montecito shuts down around 10pm, so if your looking for nightlife, you'll find it on State St, The hotel made for a pleasant stay and I will go back again.

Beware, the Montecito Inn does not have air conditioning! In addition, the Inn is situated directly above the main highway and the traffic noise in the room is very loud throughout the night. Both the Inn's restaurant and bar close at 10:00 p.m. and we were unable to obtain food after a late arrival due to a particularly long and stressful car journey. My daughter had taken the trouble to obtain a gift certificate for us to eat at the Inn's restaurant and the staff were obnoxious to us when we did not consume enough food for the full amount on the gift certificate. They refused to issue a refund and we were unable to use the excess amount on the gift certificate to tip our waitress. In addition, the restaurant food was poor at best. I would avoid this Inn at all costs.
