Top West Beach Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean facility. Smelled good. Free breakfast."

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great, perfect location and the room was clean and well appointed. The staff was very friendly and you can't beat the free Happy Hour wine and cheese. The only negative, which was minor was that the HVAC was pretty loud and had a rattle that made a real racket when the AC was running. Ear plugs solved the problem. Other than that, I highly recommend the place."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful gem a few blocks down from the beach near Pershing Park. About a 1.5 mile round trip walk from the hotel to the pier/Jeannie's at the Shore, to give a perspective regarding distance. Amenities including free parking, all day coffee/tea, breakfast and afternoon wine were such a joy to have each day during our stay. Super friendly staff and front desk. Had a great visit."

Ala Mar by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely hotel. We reserved a 2 bedroom room and ended up with a mini apartment with 2 cute little bedrooms, a little kitchen a nice living room, and beautiful patio to the pool area. Furnishings are old fashioned and the place could use a slight refresh on somethings (tub was a little old and could use a deeper cleaning) but I loved it. So worth it for the money (everything in the area was expensive that weekend but this was on the lower end and way better than other options at the price) and the location is perfect. May not be for everyone if you prefer more modern amenities but I loved it and will definitely be returning. 4.5 stars for me"

Mason Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Mason. Welcome drinks and fresh cookies! Phenomenal location. Safe parking lot. Clean rooms and facility. Staff were always very friendly and helpful. Room was on second floor and beds were good. If you are noise sensitive I’d say pack some earplugs as you never know what kind of neighbours you’re going to get. Only noise that bothered us was the AC unit in the room. They work well but are much too noisy for us. The staff mentioned that they are considering replacing with much quieter ones and that would make us return with a five star review. Perhaps skim the pool a little more often to keep ever present bugs in check. All told a great hotel."
