Cheshire Cat Inn & Cottages

Oak Park, 2.8 km from The Mesa

"We loved our stay at the Cheshire Cat Inn. Everything from the easy check in, our cottage was adorable and spotless and the delicious breakfast delivered to our door every morning. The location is great, close enough to state street but also quiet and peaceful. We have stayed in Santa Barbara many times, usually closer to or right on the ocean which is beautiful but can be very noisy since the highway runs along the shoreline. We will definitely stay here again!"

Top The Mesa Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice, very spacious and was able to move around with ease. Front desk was so helpful in letting us know all the amenities they offer like their happy wine hour, media selections and locals eats. "

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, loved the balcony view of the beach and pool. Enjoyed spending time on the pool deck, relaxing in the sun. Only stayed 2 nights so didn’t get to partake of the amenities such as s’mores, bikes, jacuzzi etc but appreciated the fact they were offered. Staff friendly and professional, especially the valets. Would recommend!"
