“Intimate andgreat location!”

Great location, one block from the beach and two from State Street. Love the suites and the extra personal touches. THe only thing I would like is either airconditioning or a fan in the sleeping area. The room was extremely hot.

“Great little place”

We wanted a small place to stay near the water, and were very pleased with the hotel. It was charming, clean, and comfortable. It's a block from the water, just across from the marina and a short walk to the wharf. There was a nice breakfast place just around the corner. State Street was a short walk away. We only needed our rental car to explore the hills. When we go back, we'd definitely stay there again!

“Best overnight stay in Santa Barbara”

This was perfect value for the money and I will definitely return.

“cozy and relaxing!”

SB was very relaxing! beach was great and loved that hotel was walking distance from everything. Complimentary beach cruisers were great too! You felt right at home. Will definitely stay here again.

“Money well spent”

Beautifully decorated rooms and excellent service. So close to the beach yet without all the noise. Welcome basket of goodies were delicious. Pay the extra money and get the king deluxe room. You will not be disappointed. Would gladly return without hesitation.

“Perfect Santa Barbara Getaway”

Everything about the hotel is exemplary. While it's not a traditional hotel with room service, it's more like being given a wonderful stocked duplex for the weekend -- a home you wish you owned. Our "apartment" came with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a full kitchen, a ridiculously comfortable bed, towels you want to take with you, and a lovely basket of fruit, banana nut bread, jams and juices. I wish I could have made an offer on the place. The location is ideal.

“Hospitality Rules”

Hospitality is a key value at Harbor House Inn. These people could not have been more helpful. The rooms are older and, while very clean overall, you should be prepared for the old-fashioned bathroom, etc. The carpet in my room showed its wear and the antique furniture did not include a comfortable chair. But these minor items were overcome by the cleanliness of the bath, kitchen and linens; the little extra's that made the stay comfortable; and the helpful staff.

“Cute place”

The hotel is cosy and the room and kitchen are cute. A lot of attention to details. The location is great and very convenient. The survice is also good and the management is not stingy with the supplies like in some other hotels. The basket that one finds at arrival is furbished generously. The only complaint we had is that the room is rather small and more importantly, it was rather warm even though we were there in the second half of March. Could not sleep well at night because of the heat. There was a fan in the ceiling but not convenient to cool the room and we never found out if there was any air conditioning because we could not change the temperature on the thermostat. If it was not for this detail, we would not hesitate for a second to recommend wholeheartedly this hotel.

“Quaint, hospitable, friendly, walkable.”

Quaint courtyard, spacious room, clean and furnished with antique furniture. Free use of bikes a plus! Walkable to beach, wharf, dock, State Street. Friendly, helpful and hospitable staff overall. Fresh baked goodies at check-in desk. Welcome basket with on-site baked banana nut bread (heavenly!), drinks, locally-made biscotti and other goodies. Thought it was a little overpriced, but for Valentine’s weekend, it was all worth it. Will be back no matter what the cost. First time staying in Santa Barbara.
