Friendly staff. Clean room. Complimentary breakfast and cocktail hour.
The steps. If ever stay again, I'd like a bottom floor.
4.5
Außenbereich ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Die Zimmer sind sehr groß. Wir wurden sogar geupgradet. Parken ist kostenlos möglich.
Kostenloser Kaffee, Tee, Wasser und Äpfel den ganzen Tag. Nachmittags gibt es zudem auch Wein, Käse, Cracker und Cookies gratis.
Das Frühstück ist in Ordnung aber keine riesen Auswahl. Alles in Plastik eingepackt, selbst das Plastikbesteck. Man muss auch auf Papptellern essen und aus Pappbechern trinken.

It looked like there was mold in the crevices of the bathroom.

Next to older apartments.

Great location
No elevator and we were on the second floor. I would not have been able to carry up our luggage on my own.

We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a 2 room suite which was great as we were travelling with kids.
Rooms are spotlessly clean
The breakfast was ideal
Rooms are a little dated

Breakfast was great! Loved that we would borrow DVDs to watch in our room. Easy walk to the beach. Rooms were very clean and well maintained. Kitchen was clean and had all the stuff you would need. Staff was helpful and kind.

Very nice room. Comfortable beds.
A bit pricy. Would’ve expected better breakfast for such a price.

The position is good, within walking distance to the beach,harbour, shops and restaurants. The pool was good and the garden areas were lovely.
Afternoon wine and nibbles were a nice touch.
The rooms were dark and very dated and didn't look very clean.
Breakfast was very limited and not much choice.

They upgraded our room when we arrived and the suite was very nice. Hotel had a hot tub which we used as it was rainy and chilly that week. We were able to walk around Santa Barbara to shop and eat dinner. Overall, very nice for price point.

Breakfast in the lobby was nice.
Did not look like the pictures. Small very outdated room. Overpriced.
4.0
The bed was comfortable, the wifi was fast and the staff was helpful and friendly. Property was well maintained and pretty.
The pool was smaller than expected, and closed one of the days. There was a breakfast buffet, but we missed more fruits and vegetables, and cold cuts/cheese.
When we arrived we were offered an upgrade, which turned out to be on street level, although the room we had booked looked like we’d be staying on the second floor. No explanation was given.
5.0
They thought of everything! The property itself is beautiful and well maintained- but it was the extra touches of hospitality that really ranks high! The happy hour made for a wonderful welcome and we loved that we had bikes at our access to explore on.
5.0
Inn by the Harbor was exactly like the images online- the courtyard garden was just lovely to look at and walk through. plenty of parking and the staff were always very friendly - there was a happy hour - complementary breakfast with nice, casual seating both inside and out and a lovely complimentary bottle of bubbles in the minibar. definitely booking there again.

The wifi kept dipping in and out.
4.0
Breakfast was great! Staff was very nice. When there was a request for something it was taken care of.
There was not a dresser to put your clothes in. They did have a closet. Brought my own extra hangers.
4.5
They had a lot of great stuff. Wine hour, breakfast, pool, free champagne.
The price. Might be normal but that's my dislike.
4.5
Almost everything. Style of hotel (as refurbished, remodeled motel). Room upgrade. Decor. Pool. Laundry facility. Friendly, efficient staff.
Poor selection of local (recommended) eateries for evening meal.
5.0
The stay there was dreamy and magical. Starting with the pleasant and warm welcome at the entrance including an invitation to cookies and wine for no particular reason. The place is simply lovely and green with a lovely little pool. Definitely one of the most beautiful places we visited - and we would love to visit again in the future.
There wasn't anything we didn't like - we were sorry we only stayed one night (we couldn't stay longer)
4.0
courtyard was beautiful
happy hour was good and coffee was good in the morning
pillows were too soft for our taste
spa was cool and not relaxing
view out our window was not desirable (rear parking lot with workers trucks right there)
bathroom door was difficult to keep open while you were in there but there wasn't a fan so it was necessary
2.0
location was ok
very dated not that clean small cold pool
2.5
Breakfast was good and really tasty
staff were nice
room was clean
It felt like a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel I paid $400.00 a night for .
It seemed a bit extreme.
4.0
Breakfast was good, staff friendly. Hotel was nice but for the price and pics online I was shocked that it was on a busy street and thought the property would be nicer
