The hotel is older, but the exterior is stylist and clean. However our room were very dated. Needs serious update. The tv was old with bad quality picture terrible sound. The kitchen and bathroom were so dated like 80’s and this was Felix room. The heater was so noise. Location was ok, close the beach, but also to public park with so many homeless. For this price definitely not worth.

I would give this Inn a 10 star if I could, our room was clean, everyone working at the Inn made us feel special, they offer free complimentary breakfast every thing was fresh and clean. They also offer free wine and cheese in the evening. Very helpful with instructions to the area around us with restaurants and places to see. Very special Inn.. We are returning next month for a little getaway.

I would have rated the property excellent except for one thing which happened to be important to me, which was that the Wi-Fi connection was very inconsistent to the point of being unusable. When it worked, it was fast enough, but it dropped out every 5 to 10 minutes and then came back five minutes later. Over and over.

What a pleasant surprise. We stumbled onto this unique little property by accident. At first, we thought it was just like one of the many little motels that you see dotted up and down the highway. But as we walked and toured the property, we soon came to realize that this place was super unique. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. When we got to our room, it was immaculate, which seems to be more and more uncommon these days, unfortunately. As seasoned travelers, we’ve seen it all from one star, all the way to four stars. This place is definitely a keeper-one that we will come back to when we’re in the area. The beds were comfortable, pillows were great, and the shower was good. We had no complaints about anything. Spent a wonderful three days in the Santa Barbara area and had a blast. It is located in a great area, right next to the marina and beach. Both were within walking distance. We highly recommend this property!!!!

We loved the courtyard pool area clean and pretty. The staff was super friendly and they did a nice breakfast, and a wine and cheese every day. When we arrived at our room we received a lovely bottle of California sparkling wine🙂🙂 Thanks to the staff

For the price, not worth it. The rooms were dimly lit with low ceilings. The room was clean it just didn’t feel like anything special. For the price, I think you can get something more charming and upscale. Coffee was hardly drinkable. The pictures are a bit deceiving I would say. Just pretty underwhelming for the price.

The picture shown is not Inn By the Harbor, but their sister property across the street, however, Inn By the Harbor has a much nicer courtyard overlooking the garden and pool whereas the property shown here overlooks the parking lot. Room was somewhat dated but very comfortable bedding and double queen room even has a kitchenette! We enjoyed the wine and cheese served in the lobby for happy hour and had a nice walk to State Street for dinner and walk down to the harbor in the morning. Overall, a lovely stay.
