The hotel is beautiful but what impressed me the most was the staff being with reception. My check in time was at 4pm but I was way early and really hoping for earlier check in but I didn’t have my hopes up , and what a wonderful surprise when I asked the receptionist was so nice and attentive he immediately checked me in and thank God because I had a very tired toddler. Valet parking was amazing and very helpful with giving us directions . What an amazing experience I had here this set the tone to my families road trip we will definitely come back.

Staff was exceptional in every aspect, place was very clean and quiet. Cost of stay was a bit high in comparison to other hotels based on size. Overall happy with my stay at Montecito inn, definitely will be staying there next time.

Valet parking was unable to park my vehicle because of a manual transmission. It's been the first place were I had to park my vehicle on my own. Parking was a bit limited, and had to wait a bit to make room for my vehicle.

Great location in walkable upscale ‘village’. Pool and hot tub good for family, good fitness room. it’s an old hotel, cozy and charming and a bit worn but clean. Beds very comfy, tho room clean is by request only. Noise at nite wasn’t a problem for us. Friendly staff. A big plus - our 3 generation fam of 5 had adjoining rooms with connecting door!

You’re paying for the Montecito location so don’t expect a bargain. Rooms - at least in our older part - are cozy with some pretty beat-up furniture and fixtures. And yes, bath rooms are very tiny, one person at a time - in ours the door scraped the toilet seat when it closed!

Location Location Location. Doesn’t get any better than this. Old property with lots of charm and character. Old fashioned Otis elevator was fun. Old carpet was less fun for the asking price of a night’s stay. Key didn’t work the first go around. Front desk corrected with a smile and good attitude.

THIN walls. Baby next door. I could hear most of the conversation and the baby crying.

Really cool decor and a very distinct style. Nice pool that was open later than usual.

The breakfast setup left a lot to be desired. Set up in a little bitty lobby without adequate tables and chairs. Don’t understand why this wasn’t offered in one of the facilities that had tables for you to sit at. Would have been much nicer.

Location very convenient to the party I was attending. Room was comfortable and to my surprise received an early check in which I didn't expect. Easy access to the restaurant from the lobby for breakfast. I was able to walk to anything I needed which is a big plus when you are in a new area. Worth taking a walk to Butterfly Beach taking in the scenery and ocean air. I only stayed on night this trip so can not speak to the other amenities of the Inn.

Bathrooms are a little dated and I could clearly hear the people in the room next to me.

Nice room, valets charged my e car each night! Pool was nice, if a little small. Close to Butterfly Beach.

Extra money automatically charged for food I didn’t want. Food was mediocre and overpriced in the restaurant. We came to SB partly to check out different restaurants. Didn’t want to pay for a restaurant that we had no interest in.

Great parking, charging, and staff

bathrooms in the 2 queen bedroom, rooms were very small and difficult for two people to occupy at the same time. It wqs good that they had two bathrooms, but both were single occupancy style narrow bathrooms.

It was in a good location near the beach and close to the highway. The hotel was clean and efficient and good value.

It had noisy roadworks outside which was unfortunate. Also a busy Highway the other side, but you didn’t notice it.

The location was good and the property has lots of charm. The food at the restaurant was very good. The pool area was beautiful. It was too cool to be in the water but a nice place to lounge. The bikes were a nice addition as a way to sightsee.

Because it’s older the bathroom was tiny. Not usually a problem but we were there for a wedding so took a bit of planning to get ready etc.
