Super cute hotel, our room had an adorable private patio and everything was very clean. Location is walkable to downtown but a few blocks away from the busy parts so quiet at night. The concierge was very helpful with local recommendations and with everything we needed during our stay.

We chose this hotel very last minute and we found a hidden gem! Location is excellent, literally 3 minutes walking distance from the beach. We absolutely loved the Spanish revival interior (floors and doors are gorgeous!), and the delicious breakfast!
We just left but we are already planning our next trip to Santa Barbara to stay at this amazing hotel!

The Eagle Inn is a jewel. It is on a quiet street but easily walkable to the beach. It has an old world feel with beautiful tiles, but is very well kept up. The front desk staff were very attentive. The breakfast is freshly made and it is lovely to sit out on their terrace.

Great location to downtown, restaurants, bars, the beach. FREE parking!!!!!! OMG this is such a plus these days! EXCELLENT complimentary breakfast. Ceiling fans in the room so you don't have to run the a/c to circulate air in the room (quite frankly every hotel should have ceiling fans). Overall, a great motel. We would stay here again.
