Really great Inn. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great Valet service. Accommodates young kids, with a pool and easy beach access, and older folks (grandparents) with a better-than-decent restaurant for breakfast/lunch and dinner.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely Incredible Service! Our experience was outstanding from the moment we arrived! Even before we got there, the staff sent a friendly text to check in—and they continued to stay in touch throughout our stay, always asking if we needed anything. It made us feel truly taken care of. The on-site restaurant was absolutely delicious, and to top it off, they even delivered waters to our room in the morning when I texted them. Every detail was thoughtful and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Ritz last November and here this past week and I’d choose the Santa Barbara Inn hands down. It’s boutique-like with lovely grounds, super walkable, clean and the dining option is lovely. Valet was great and service very good.
