Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel that is close to the beach, the pier, stores and several excellent restaurants. The king bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were uncomfortable and the counter space was small. The air conditioning was noisy and turned on and off during the night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with waffles, eggs bacon and sausage, bagels, pastries and muffins. The balcony is really a small patio enclosed by a five foot fence with a small table and two chairs. Overall, it is a good place to stay."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff and clean room with good overall location walkable to main Santa Barbara tourist locations, however directly next to a gas station. The room and property are dated but generally well maintained. Between the decent complimentary breakfast and the pool/jacuzzi area, the stay felt worth the $. Plentiful, complimentary parking is also a plus."

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay for our weekend at Palm Tree Music Festival! The room was clean and comfortable and they have great vending machines for late-night snacks. The staff was super nice and it was relatively close to where we wanted to be. The only thing we were bummed about was the pool needing a little maintenance but we just dipped our feet in instead of taking a swim. Parking is also free which is so uncommon nowadays! Overall great stay!"
