Nice hotel close to the beach
This hotel has a great beachy type feel to it. It is within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We got a room with a fireplace in it. The fireplace was easy to operate and really warmed the room up fast. The staff here are very friendly and make you feel at home. The rooms are a little small and could feel a little cramped. We felt it was a little over priced compared to some other hotels we stayed in on our other stops up the California coast. However, overall it was a great stay.

Subtle Misrepresentation
Pros:The continental breakfast was acceptable. Bed comfortable.
Cons:See above. This place needs a major renovation and refurnishing.
Location:DRIVE to the beach parking lot and have a lovely walk along a lengthy paved walk or on the sand. Restaurants at the harbor are excellent.
If you have read their web site, you have been subjected to skillful misrepresentation. I would describe this place as an aging one-step up Motel 6. Haven't been to a Motel 6 in years, so I may be underestimating them!
It is NOT on the beach, but over a block away across a Hilton Hotel parking lot. We were told by one resident that there was one room on the upper level that actually had a view of the water.
For the rest, it is a horseshoe shaped 3 level building centered around the pool with no view whatsoever. Pool and lower level are one story below entry ground level.
Hope you get a room with no one overhead, because the ceiling/floor is thin and you will hear any noise from above. The floor covering is thin fabric covered "carpet', a step above Motel 6 linoleum.
Our "superior" room was furnished with one uncomfortable arm chair and an armless desk chair.
There is no air conditioning, so if you are on the wings of the "u", you will gain no benefit from the on-shore breeze. You are left with a ceiling fan and an oscillating fan on a stand. Of course, you cannot leave your windows open with the drapes back, because of the traffic immediately outside the room. So avoid hot days!
Finally, you must park in a parking lot inconveniently located, for those above the lower level, at lower ground level adjacent to the building. Unload your luggage at the office, drive to the parking lot, and walk back to your room as much as half a block away.

so much better than the big chain hotels
Pros:Frank, pastries, the breakfast, rooms are nice, plenty of off street parking
Location:Beach is just across the street, many restaurants are located a short walk away
The Inn At East Beach is a retro expierence. Frank is hysterical, and so welcoming. The hotel is in a perfect location, walking distance to almost everything. Frank provides a beautiful breakfast that includes eggs, yogurt, fresh made granola and the most delicious pastries from a local bakery. Frank insists that you take more "for a snack later." This was the best choice I've made in a while and I would highly recommend it.

The Inn at East Beach!
The inn is a nice place to stay, the Inn Keeper is amazing!! What a sweetheart. Frank made feel like you were the most important person that was staying at the inn, and made everyone I talked to there feel the same way. From now on when I go to Santa Barbara I will be staying with Frank at the Inn at East Beach.

The Inn at East Beach is awesome.
Pros:Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, close to the beach
We stayed at Inn at East Beach for just one night, but we wish we could have stayed longer. Our room was so cozy - complete with a fireplace. They serve a great breakfast. The manager is a friendly, helpful guy with a great sense of humor. We can only say good things about the hotel. We definitely recommend it.
