Stearns Wharf Hotel Reviews

  • Santa Barbara Beach Getaway - 2 Blocks to Beach & Town
    Short and Sweet…
    5 out of 5
    Our stay in Santa Barbara was made more pleasant by this lovely Mediterranean style apartment home. Everything was well-appointed and updated and extremely comfortable. We found beach chairs in the basement and a very nice washer and dryer. It was within easy walking distance to everything we needed and the off street parking was a major convenience. It was a bit on the noisy side at night because we preferred to keep the windows open. Also the owner required a separate and lengthy rental agreement which I hadn’t encountered before. I would very much recommend this rental property.…

    Expedia Verified Review…
    4 out of 5
    So much character! We loved the location, the staff, the 1926 Otis elevator... the room was small but sweet, with a view onto State Street. We had an issue with the first room -- the air smelled bad (like cigarettes) -- so we were immediately switched to another room and the air was fresh. We will definitely there again. Our only criticisms: the bed was rather soft and lumpy; and the toilet paper quality was horrible. It fell apart in our hands before we even used it. I know it's an odd complaint, but there you go.…

    This boutique hotel was a great find! It is located in Funk Town, within walking distance to dozens of bars and restaurants, the beach (less than a mile), and the Arlington Theater (about a mile). Every employee we ran into was incredibly friendly and nice. Beautiful courtyard with games for hanging out. Free coffee (good coffee), pastries, fruit, oatmeal, etc every morning.…
