Inn By The Harbor

We liked it, comfortable and clean Very nice 👍

It was wonderful. Only stayed for two nights wish it could have been more! WiFi worked perfectly!

Nice location, easy walk to beach and the main street. There were lots of very good restaurants in walking distance. Good breakfast, a pleasant surprise with the cheese and wine early evening and cookies and milk at bedtime!

The room stunk like a sewer and they were no other rooms available that day as I was told by the front desk employee. I called again after 11.30 pm because the smell was so strong and we just couldn't fall sleep; I was offered 2 single king size rooms ( all they had left) which wasn't going to work as we were vacationing as a family with a toddler who was asleep by then, and I didn't feel like moving in the middle of the night. Also, the service went downhill in a the past 7 years. We stayed there in 2011 and were blown away then by this hotel, not anymore. The hotel looks dirty and room looked dirty, old and dingy. It needs a makeover like fresh paint, new carpets and bathroom remodel (at least in the room we stayed in). Even the carpet was dirty with stuff all over it but no one from the housecleaning was available when I noticed it that evening. It was very difficult to keep the 2 year old off the floor all the time. The bathtub drain was clogged too and the water wouldn't drain for an hour after someone took a shower The breakfast now is very poor that consists of Costco brand hard boiled eggs, 4 types of Raisin Bran cereal and some pastries with butter and Philadelphia cream cheese on the side. I remember it to be completely different, and they used to serve cold cuts, variety of juice and fruit among other things for breakfast. I mean, it used to be delicious and you didn't have the need to go out to eat real breakfast. We were disappointed with our stay.

I usually won’t leave a review, but this time I will because we were very impressed. Inn by the Harbor in beautiful Santa Barbara, has an amazing view and the staff are professional and friendly! We stayed for three nights and never experienced any issues other than locking ourselves out of our room! Lol. When we went to the office and explained what happened, they made sure we didn’t feel embarrassed and instead made us feel very comfortable. The local restaurant’s on the ocean shore and close by are worth a visit!! We will definitely stay there again!!
