Top Santa Barbara Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and hotel was quiet."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"It’s like a small apartment for the weekend and it’s perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Love the morning breakfast and happy hour as well. Location is amazing and close to everything. This is our 4th time staying here and it’s our hotel of choice for SB!"

La Playa Inn

8/10 Good

"A lovely space and we appreciated the air conditioning on the hot days. An easy walk to the beach. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace outside our room on the second level. We arrived unexpectedly late (midnight), exhausted after travel delays. While I appreciated that the front desk was staffed at that time, the staff member who was working was not very helpful. He wasn't very friendly and gave me the minimum of information and it wasn't until our last day there that I realized they served any breakfast. He never said a word about that. I went out on foot searching for food on our first morning. We usually used the outside stairs to exit, so we did not see the breakfast spread in the lobby until we were checking out. It wasn't a very big spread, but it would have been enough for me, and it would have been nice to know about. But now you do know about it, so I do recommend this place for a nice space with good value."

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Good location, clean rooms. Valet Parking."

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Easy and fast check in/out Facility was clean Common area/lawn seatings were appropriately clean Had a great stay!"

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked staying at Casa Riviera. Very clean and well stocked. Small kitchen area with a descent size fridge, sink and a good coffee maker. Great location to walk to local restaurants and sites like the Santa Barbara Bowl. Private… parking and felt safe."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great spot! Close to the ocean and down town. The staff was helpful and friendly. The bikes were great to have as well."
