Place was located right across from the beach. Bed was very comfortable. Parking was $32 per night which seems excessive. No free breakfast. Place was very nice but was very expensive for what you got. I wouldn’t stay again just for an overnight stay.

The location was perfect! Our room was beautiful, and the guest service was great. My only wish is that there was a cafe or coffee shop available on premises since the ones on the street all closed early. Overall, we loved it and definitely will be back!

Great hotel in SB. Staff was really helpful and efficient. We never waited, whether at check in, check out, or for general questions. Room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was so cozy. We loved the pool and hot tub. The hotel has an incredible view of the beach and is close to everything. We did not need a car. All in all a wonderful vacation.

We loved staying in Santa Barbara at the Harbor View Inn. The bathroom was by far the best hotel bathroom we have ever used. The patio was lovely with a beautiful wisteria tree, the passing train (not loud) and the wonderful Mountain View. We love our visits to Santa Barbara and will stay at the Harbor View Inn again, for sure.
