Beautiful hotel & gorgeous room. It not only had two amazing beds, but also has two entrance doors and 2 delegate bathrooms. Staff was so great & even got me a hair appointment for the wedding I was attending later that day.

"A charming hotel"

Pros: The style of the hotel..
Cons: I don't know the solution, but the breakfast area. There is more space in the restaurant but it is not used.
Location: Santa Barbara is nearby which has a Mission, State Street with many restaurants and shops, and of course beaches.
The Montecito Inn was a very relaxing getaway. There are a few restaurants and shops in the area and the beach is a few minute walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is very clean and the room had very nice decor with comfortable beds. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was always coffee, tea, and water in the lobby for guests. The room itself was small along with the bathroom, but it had everything we needed and our stay was very enjoyable. The continental breakfast was ok, however, the room is small and doesn't work well when too many guests arrive at the same time. That is the only downside.

Wonderful Older Hotel

The hotel was well maintained and the staff was great. Every one of them were very helpful. When we were in the bathroom, we could hear noises from the room next door through the vent. It really wasn't bad at all. Once we were in the bedroom we couldn't hear those same noises. This is to be expected at least a little bit in an older hotel. As I mentioned above, it really wasn't bad at all. The area is very quaint and it was easy to walk to local restaurants or just walk around and enjoy the scenery. We stayed because of an appointment at the Sansum Clinic. It was very easy to get to the clinic from this hotel as well.

Disappointment.

Old beautiful hotel with lots of outside charm, but disappointing rooms. Coffee and tea service is only available in the lobby. And while this is not horrible, it is an inconvenience to carry two cups of coffee up three flights of stairs at 5 A.M., to say the least. But the real disappointment, (almost disgusting) part is that you can hear everything, and I mean everything, going on in the room next door's bathroom! There's an air vent connecting the two bathrooms and I could hear the next door neighbor discussing her bathroom production with her roommate, "Wow, I just peed a ton!" accompanied by the corresponding sounds of the pee hitting the toilet. Yes, that's right - not muffled sounds, but true-to-life-I'm-in-the-same-room sounds. You'll have to make up your own mind whether this is a deal-breaker.

Charming but dated

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, flavor and charm
Cons: Poor breakfast, continental breakfast like comfort inn, smelled old and musty, dated bathrooms, dated pool area
Nice location, shops and restaurants nearby. Charming old hotel but also smelled old and musty in the room. Old carpet and drapes that held the odor. Tiled bathroom really dated. Walk down rear firescape to get to pool which was dated. View from firescape was to backalley with trash and very unattractive. Original elevator very charming. Staff very helpful. Valet staff UCSB students who were very delightful and helpful with directions. For the price, you get a taste of the old world of the 1920s but needs attention.

Very nice place! :-)

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
I thought the hotel was a good deal for the money and I loved the charm and character of the buidling and the room decor. Staff was very pleasant and went out of their way to accomodate whatever we wanted. I will return. Thanks

Cute and historic

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
Cons: Noisy
A quaint and relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed the experience overall. A disappointing breakfast. A bit pricey for what it was, especially since the pool and hot tub were so small. Glad we had free internet.
