Lavender Inn by the Sea

8/10 Good

"The hotel is more of a motel, with most of the rooms facing the garden and parking. I was here for business and it happened to be during spring break. There were college students arriving late at night and being very loud. I had to call reception to ask them to go to their rooms. Turns out, the front desk closes at 11P and there is no one monitoring the property. Also, the walls are pretty thin, so I could hear my neighbors talking (unclear words, yet noise). And the lower level rooms do not get a lot of sun. The beds are comfortable and breakfast is nice enough for a hotel. I prefer the sister property, Brisas, but they're higher priced most nights."

Villa Rosa Inn

2/10 Terrible

"The rooms and location are pretty great. The hospitality is terrible, we were made to wait for 2 hours post check-in time, as our rooms weren’t ready. The parking spots are limited, you’d be lucky to get one. The breakfast was very limited, I wish they had at least one source of protein and fresh fruits."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"A very quaint and comfortable property located within three blocks of the beach and a half a mile from the Santa Barbara pier. Room was very comfortable with a large king bed small kitchen and small 3/4 shower bathroom, too. Concierge staff, especially Mickey, were very helpful and entertaining with restaurants dining tips etc. However, as a retired commercial real estate appraiser with 45 years experience, the accommodations were overpriced for what was presented. What’s up, kid?"
