Recent Santa Barbara hotel reviews by fellow wanderers

Inn By The Harbor
"Upon arrival, we were greeted by Mickey at check-in. He was incredibly helpful, offering dining suggestions and providing a general orientation to the area. He was so personable and friendly, which made a great start to our stay. The room was large and very clean. The beds were comfortable. We used the pool/hot tub, and both were well-maintained and clean, as was the general pool area. Pool towels are available. The complimentary breakfast was a nice extra - nothing fancy, but certainly enough to get the day started. The property was well-maintained and fairly centrally located. There were benches outside each room and nice plants/greenery throughout the center of the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again and would recommend the property to others."
