Good value for money, given how expensive hotels are nowadays. Our room was clean, and though it was clearly basic and cheaply set up, it was comfortable and pleasant enough, without grime or wear. The hotel was cute and old school, with a neat interior pool. The employee who greeted us was nice and the coffee in the lobby in the morning was pretty good. The location was a pleasant 20-30 minute walk from the edge of downtown via the shoreline, or a short cab or bus ride (the bus stops less than 2 minute walk from the hotel). Overall, I definitely recommend this hotel if you're on a budget in Santa Barbara yet still want some charm and comfort while being right next to the beach and downtown!

Like I said, you get what you pay for, so I wouldn't expect a "suite"-like experience, but it was all totally fine :)

Perfect location, 5 min walk from East Beach. We've stayed in a few of the lower price hotels / motels in SBA and this one was by far the best to date. Great value for money, clean room - with a nice fireplace, which we used as it was a chilly evening. We normally stay in the Harbor area, but flipped things this time and walked from East Beach to the Harbor and back - which is just about perfect along the beach.

Only minor complaint was some noise from the room above, as it seems like wooden floors between the 1st / 2nd floor. But thankfully not too much stomping around in the room above us. Paid parking was a bit ridiculous, the huge empty parking lot told a story that nobody wants to pay $15 parking and guests would rather park on the street! A big upsell would be to ditch the silly parking charge and have free permits for the nice lot. Which would also make the street easier to navigate - without as many cars parked on it.

The accommodation is only a few steps away from the beach of Santa Barbara and therefore in a great location. You can also easily walk to the town center via a beautiful path along the beach. We really liked our room. It was modern and large. The bed was comfortable and there was also a TV and a fridge. Unfortunately, there was no coffee machine. We chose the room with a small balcony. We had a lovely sea view from the balcony and could sit outside. The bathroom was clean and everything worked perfectly. There was coffee and tea in reception in the morning as well as a small selection of pastries. The heated pool was open until 9pm. There were also tables outside to sit down.

There was no air conditioning in the room, so it heated up very quickly despite the outside temperature being only 22 degrees. There was a ceiling fan and an additional pedestal fan. Since we were able to ventilate from the balcony, it was okay for us. Unfortunately the WIFI did not work for us. Parking on the premises 15$. Parking on the street is free and not a problem to find acparking lot there.

Pool area nice and clean, just like the room. Room was silent. All receptionists were very friendly. No breakfast available but free coffee and pastries and apples are provided at the reception. Bus stop close by to go downtown (approx. 20-30 min). Gas powered fire place provides coziness in the room. And there was a small balcony.

Some additional utilities in the kitchen should be supplied, e.g. only one mug available, pans and pots are done and must be replaced. Some small renovation could be done - broken handle of cupboard, unfinished painting of bathroom door but didn't disturb us at all.

The rooms very clean. The staff was cordial and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The location was spectacular, close to the beach with a good restaurant facing the ocean. The place is a little dated, but the area felt safe and was very quiet.

The rooms seem to have portable stand alone heater. The older wall heater doesn't work. This was the second time we'd stayed there. The first time we didn't know the heat didn't work and ended up being very cold until some staff member finally said there would be a stand alone heater in the closet. There was, but we did not feel comforable leaving it on all night. This time we checked for a heater as soon as we arrived, put it on and by the time to go to sleep, the room was warm and toasty and we turned it off to sleep. That was the only issue. They should have told us when we got there the first time. But, as you see, we did go again to the Inn at the Beach a second time. We would go again.

I really like this beach motel. There are many types of rooms - some with kitchen and fireplace, some with balcony, some without, they’re all cute and airy. This is our third time staying here in a month and it doesn’t get old because we got different rooms. Location-wise it’s walking distance to the beach. This time we got room 129, a King suite with a kitchenette and fireplace. The problem with this room is that it has a porch that faces the west, so it gets the hot afternoon sun - not the best in the summer but perfect in the winter. That said, we were there on a day when it was 85F, and by the time we went back to the room it had already cooled to the 70s. With the fan on and windows and door opened, it got cool fast and was comfortable enough to sleep within 15 mins. The little kitchenette comes with a keurig coffee maker with caffeinated and decaffeinated pods, bowls and plates and mugs and even wine glasses for 2 people. The people working at the front desk are wonderful, from the girls in round glasses who checked us in to Amil who told us about Chad’s for a nice brunch place. I love sleeping in fresh air, but the king bed is comfortable. If you get a room with a porch/balcony, bring some wine to enjoy on the porch in the evening. I love this place. It’s got character, is very clean, and has a strong beach vibe. To me it embodies the best of Santa Barbara, fresh air and sun and nice people.

Window in bathroom doesn’t have netting so if you open it, moths might get in. The porch of our room faces the back parking lot so there’s no view and also makes the room extremely in the afternoon as that faces the west. Breakfast pastries are dry. When you sleep with the windows open, the sound from the freeway was a little too loud. I didn’t think I would be disturbed by white noise, but it was a little too loud, and we hardly slept the first night. On the second night, it got so cool that we could close the window and just turn on the fan, then we both slept really well.

awesome location (quieter, safe neighborhood, 1-2 minutes walk to the east beach, within 10 minutes walk to several good restaurants); updated and clean bathroom; great value for one night stay; self-service hot tea/coffee station at the lobby is a nice touch

the shower curtain is like one feet above the shower curb and a bit of water escaped to the bath floor during shower the mattress is not supportive enough for more than a one night stay for us; we would love to return for a longer stay if new mattress is implemented in the future!

The location -very close to the beach- is excellent, the staff is friendly and helpful, the room is spacious, the mattress is very good, and the morning treat with coffee, sweets, and tangerines was much appreciated. The room also has some extra amenities like an ironing board, iron, and two fans. We found easily parking on the road for free. Safe area.

The heavy smell struck me when I entered the room, even though the windows were open and the fan was on. I am quite sensitive to smells, and it took me some time to get used to it.

The walk to the beach would have been great if it weren't pouring rain when we went. This was a really cute hotel with, as my 16 year old stated, "a really fun vibe". It felt like an old school hotel that the stars would have visited in the 1950's. Very well kept up. And the beds were very comfortable, which was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving.

I got the room because of the fireplace and it wasn't working at that point. BUT when I called the front desk, it sounded like a very temporary problem that happened to be randomly not working during our stay.

It’s a very charming little place very small and circled around a nice looking pool area I like to layout it’s fun to walk around this place. The rooms are a good size for a couple. It’s right by the beach and right by a ton of good food and entertainment, and the staff was very kind. The man at the front desk was very helpful and courteous.

I would’ve liked the bed to be softer it felt very boxy. It wasn’t the worst. We got a room with a fireplace and it can take a while for that to heat it up but it does work quite well. Once it gets going, I wish there was more to the breakfast, but what they had to offer was more than enough very basic, at one point during a shower, I couldn’t get hot water for some reason that was unpleasant.
