Top Outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

8/10 Good

"No Wi-fi and trouble with parking gate."

Harbor View Inn

6/10 Okay

"Great location near the beach. 15ish minute walk from teh main downtown of Santa Barbara. Property was fine, nice pool, okay gym, but rooms/building a little dated and falls into 3 star quality overall by pure hotel definition. Staff were friendly. Our door key lock ran out of battery so despite going down with full hands to get new keys, we had to call another guy, who had to call another guy, and 20 mins later we got into our room. The room was large but again, a bit dated in the style."

Ala Mar by the Sea

6/10 Okay

"The room was very dated, no closet, no dresser, bathrooms dirty and old. The AC didn’t work so the room was stuffy. A lady night desk person gave us another room for 1 night but we couldn’t stay because it was booked the next day. They did not fix the AC in the other room, when we went back. To check in, amenities needs or questions you had walk half block to another hotel Villa something.. no room phones to call front desk. Paid nearly $1000 and not what I expected for this amount of money. I guess you pay for the view and location. I asked for my room to be serviced it was not. I saw housekeeping and asked her and she didn’t understand what I said. I had to speak to her in Spanish and advised her that the door tag was put on door earlier this morning for housekeeping and we needed the service. She did it right then and there while we waited outside. I would not book this again."

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at the lavender inn and it was very nice. Check in was smooth and our room was very clean. The property is well maintained and they have also own an inn right across the street where you can rent bikes for free. The beach/boardwalk was a 10min walk. The breakfast the next morning had cereal, a variety of pastries, mini frittata’s, yogurt, fruit, OJ and coffee. The parking was also included in our stay and the inn is right off the highway. I highly recommend if you’re making a pit stop on a road trip or would like to be close to the beach."
