8.2/10 Very Good! (1,012 reviews)
I believe this property was an apartment building a really long time ago. It’s cute and it’s clean. The bed was a little bouncy but it was comfortable. There isn’t A/C but there are fans in the room. It wasn’t extremely hot and it did cool down at night so that wasn’t an issue for me. The continental breakfast is pastries, fruit and coffee that’s it. The beach is walking distance and that’s the best part…yeah I’d stay there again I liked the quaintness of the property.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,334 reviews)
The Inn is about a 10 to 15 min walk to State Street and Stearn’s wharf. Aaron at the front desk was very pleasant at check in. Our room was clean and staff were kind. My wife and I chose to explore for breakfast and decided on Jeanine’s which was excellent! The Lavender Inn continental breakfast would have sufficed. There was ample parking on site. I would recommend exploring further south for nicer beaches. A trip through the Santa Ynez mountains to Solvang is a great take for a Danish touch. A lot of shops, restaurants and bakeries. Public restrooms are near the two free public parking lots.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,901 reviews)
The room was really nice and it was really clean so that’s a good thing. There’s a little bit of dust but nothing serious. The view was of a park and both my husband and I witnessed a drug deal not only was it just at the park. it was a big trashcan and it was sketchy. It looked like your car, but you didn’t. I didn’t so that was good thank God, but the back of the hotel like they have tile in one area, which would look nice if it wasn’t cracked and then you go around to the back and it’s like a carpet but not carpet I don’t know how to explain it, but it was really really old but it was in a very convenient place. The people that worked there were really nice so that was good. The pictures were definitely deceiving because the place didn’t look nothing like that. It was old looking not new looking so those pictures might’ve been taking when they first did the place but other than that, it was an OK visit it was our 39th anniversary and we wanted to get away and my husband ever been to Santa Barbara so I thought I would surprise him and he kind of was mad at first when he seen the hotel but then he was like after we got used to it and there was no vacancy so we couldn’t even switch our room, but we could stay there again because the staff and the rooms were clean, but the environment was a little sketchy
