Beautiful property, will definitely go back. The location is right across the street from the beach, nice rooms and pool. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc I told them it was our anniversary when I booked and it was never acknowledged at the hotel.

Loved my weeklong stay. The room overlooking the pool and beach was so comfortable and amazing. The restaurant is 5-star whether it’s morning latte, scrumptious breakfast or lunch or incredible dinner choices impeccably prepared. I really didn’t have to venture beyond the restaurant for amazing fresh Mediterranean/Italian food and stellar service. Thank you for making my work (writing) holiday so memorable!!

Stayed here for our anniversary and it was perfect -- quiet, elegant, and comfortable. Appreciated having an exceptional restaurant on property. Gym was nicely appointed. Loved our location on the beach which was near State Street, but just far away enough that we weren't bothered by noise and traffic. Would definitely stay here again.

This was our third time at the Santa Barbara Inn. We love the location, proximity to great walks on the beach. The zoo is a wonderful experience as is the botanical garden just a few minutes drive. The dining both inside and out on the beautiful patio is attended by awesome staff serving fantastic cuisine.
