Excellent room, deluxe double with balcony. Spacious, good bathroom with oval bath, seperate shower and seperate toilet. Good size balcony, comfortable chairs, view over State Street to hills, side view ocean. First class location.

Aircon was old. Not possible to set aircon to temp required, and have it stay on. It would go on and off. Kept room cold, but annoying. Front Desk said they would fix it twice, but did not. On day 4, I returned to my room at 10.30pm and found both sinks covered in muck. The guy they sent was puzzled! I asked for an explanation, which was not given, I had to ask at the desk. Some sort of blow back in the piping! I could not use the sinks that evening or in the morning. No apology. I thought this poor. As often the case, plenty of promises, not kept. Annoying that no restaurant for breakfast, so use Janice's next door, which is good, but.....

The location can’t be beat. Right across from the beach and plenty of restaurant options nearby. Rooms were modern and comfy beds. Nice pool and hot tub.

Although the rooms in the north wing were very nice, I didn’t like being behind the hotel and across the street. Walking down the street in the supplied robes to get to the pool felt really odd. Just too far away. When we started to get into bed and realized there was no supplied water, we called down to the front desk to inquire if there was any water on the property. They told us that there wasn’t but that we could get a $5 or $7 bottle from them. (Usually a nice place like this would supply at least one bottle per occupant.) Next day we went by the gym on our way to the pool and noticed there was a large cooler of water provided in there. Would have been nice to be told that the precious evening and we would have filled up our bottles there.

This hotel was the PERFECT place to stay for my first visit to Santa Barbara. It was right on the beach, had beautiful views from our room/balcony, and it was walking distance to the pier, State Street and tons of amazing restaurants. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We said it over and over again that when we go back, we have to stay here again. It was perfect!

My only complaint might be that there was no food onsite (room service) but Jeannine's is a few steps away for breakfast and lunch and there are more restaurants that I can count with all different types of cuisine less than a half mile from the hotel so the fact that there was no food onsite wasn't a deal breaker for us.

The location was perfect right across from the Pacific and the pier with its restaurants and marine museum. The Harbor View is also right next to State Street, Santa Barbara's main drag with its shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. The room had a balcony with lounge chairs. It was on the second floor meaning we could take the stairs. It was very spacious with beautiful mosaic tiling in the shower and on the bathroom's floor. The hotel is also quite large meaning all our friends and relatives who were coming to Santa Barbara for a reunion got rooms there up to the last minute that Easter weekend. There is also a restaurant with lovely outdoor seating and tables and very good food.

Location was great. We had an ocean view room which was very quiet at night (though a lot of street noise during the day). Staff was very friendly.

Two things: our room had a vaulted ceiling, and the air conditioner vent was right by the bed on the slanted ceiling so that it blew cold air right down on the bed every time it turned on. I found it very uncomfortable to sleep as a result. And I’d have preferred a restaurant in the hotel for breakfast, though there is a breakfast restaurant next door.

Good location. Room was very large, with nice sitting area and separate desk area. The bathroom was large and very nice, especially the shower. There was a balcony with seating

There was a $32 a night parking fee I was unaware of. Nothing else.

Location, location, location. That is what you pay for. This place is located right on the beach and within walking distance to all the restaurants and bars known as the "funk zone" of Santa Barbara. We were also able to rend bicycles and ride up and down the beach the next morning. Rooms are big and spacious, the balcony is nice, wifi works perfectly, and felt very clean and safe. Parking was easy.

Maybe not totally worth the price? Still not sure how hotels are so expensive in the US, price tag could come down a little bit, if there's a cheaper option available near by, I'd go for the cheaper option next time. Also no amenities? At least in the building they had us in there is no gym or pool.

The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. We had a lovely patio that let in the ambient noise of the surf and outside however, our room directly overlooked the pool area so we also frequently heard loud children playing outside and music from the pool. The bathroom was especially nice as it had a separate water closet for the toilet and shower and the sink and tub were in their own area. The location to the water cannot be beat.

The price for parking when there were clearly not enough spots for guests to park was frustrating. The accessibility to get to our room from the elevator with heavy bags was not ideal as there were two separate sets of stairs we would have to lug the suitecase up or down (even using the elevator).

The hotel was absolutely gorgeous! The room was extremely spacious. Perfect location. Restaurant connected to the hotel was so good! Across the street from harbor and walk onto state street for shopping and tons of restaurants. I can’t wait to go back. Although I won’t be booking with booking .com ever again. The price with the hotel directly was $300 less expensive 😰

The pool was not horrible but not that great. I will never book with booking.com again. The price with the hotel direct was $300 less expensive 😰

We stayed in a “King room with ocean view” and it lived up well beyond our expectations! Everything about our stay was exceptional. View from room and balcony was jaw dropping. Bedroom and bathroom were immaculately appointed. We stayed in for more hours enjoying the room & balcony than planned. Something that stands out about this property is that every nook and cranny is spotlessly clean - my personal kudos to the maintenance crew and managers. Although there is no onsite restaurant, proximity to the attached breakfast cafe and of course to the restaurants within walking distance makes it even more convenient.
