La Playa Inn has a very convenient location, the rooms were clean, and overall, I had a good stay. The only area for improvement that I can think of is the bed was not to my preference. The mattress was really soft, and I prefer something a bit firmer. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could!

Loved this gorgeous, Spanish style hotel! It was conveniently located nwar State St., the beach, and 101 fwy. Unfortunately, there were some issues with our room; TV kept shutting off, and the remote for the TV seemed to also unintentionally control the the fan. Maybe cross wiring?! We had our fan replaced and TV repaired (remote still controlled both LOL). We were gifted a bottle of wine with a, "sorry for the inconvenience," card which was extremely thoughtful! All of the staff were friendly and courteous. There was a nice continental breakfast; muffins were hard, but the ham and cheese Croissants, and fruit were great! We were on the 2nd floor and the people above us were stomping around most of the night. I'd definitely stay at La Playa Inn, again, but request 3rd floor!.

The hotel was clean, staff was lovely, basically a bargain hotel. Not luxurious, no extras. Faux wood floors. It is a place to stay but in no way a vacation.

Decent location on one of the main roads into the coastal esplanade. Relaxed Mediterranean feel in common areas with terracotta patios and plants. Rooms OK - guess depends which one you get. Relatively small but clean bedrooms with Jim particularly stand out features. Beds raised on a strange metal frame. Parking included is safe, undercover and free - a refreshing change from the money making of others. Basic continental breakfast will set you off to a good start. Hotel walkable into SB, the coastal strip, pier, shopping inland and everything you’ll want to see.

The hotel itself is very nice. Newer construction, very clean, continental breakfast is served daily. The mattress was very soft (not comfortable if you prefer more firm). The towels were odd...not good drying ability (felt a bit waxy or something and not absorbent). The location itself wasn't wonderful as it is situated right across from a park, which was inhabited by homeless people. We didn't have a vehicle, so we walked everywhere. You'd probably like to stay closer to State Street/101 to be in a better area.

Easy check in/check out process. Parking included on the property (covered and uncovered spots). Location is great. A couple blocks from the water and main street. Rooms were good size and clean. Good noise cancellation. We didn’t hear any of our neighbors.

Great location for beach, walking and views. Rooms on upper level have vaulted ceilings, bright and roomy. Continental breakfast was really good. Only complaint is that they did not care whatsoever about recycling plastic, glass or anything!

I give it a mixed review. This is the second time I stayed here. The first time was better than this time. Excellent location, coffee, cleanliness, and outdoor aesthetics. Problems: The bed is extremely soft to the point of marshmallow. We had to change rooms 3 times due to screaming plumbing pipes, and inadequate accommodations. The room we ended up in was a view of the parking lot and main street traffic with a noisy a/c that kept us awake. The breakfast food is not good. The water is icky so bring bottled water for yourself. Also, you will need to bring your own soap, shampoo and conditioner and lotion because the hotel provisions are icky. Prices are way to high for what you get.

Our stay at La Playa Inn was delightful. On our arrival we were given loads of information about the town centre and how to navigate and some suggestions for sightseeing. The hotel itself was immaculately clean and spacious. With two teenage girls there was plenty of room to prep for going out. We were a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 12 minute walk to the town hub. We loved staying in Santa Barbara I would highly recommend the town and this hotel.

This was an incredible trip. My fiance and I got engaged and the hotel gave us a nice bottle of wine and were incredibly kind the entire trip. I loved the covered parking and the room was really nice. My only critique was that the thermostat was hard to use and we got confused on how to use it so our room was kind of warm, but the screen door locked on our window which made it comfortable at night. I could see this being an issue later in the summer. We walked to state street multiple times from the hotel and were able to walk to the beach and enjoy the pier. I would recommend and would stay here again. Thank you La Playa!

The location was excellent. It was walking distance to Stearns Wharf, the beach, and State St. The staff at the front desk were outstanding. They were super helpful in guiding us with recommendations for places to eat and also had good insights regarding our questions about the various museums, mission, and the Courthouse.
