great place for a few nights - right across road from the beach and harbor. Good breakfast to start the day - walls in the bedrooms a bit thin but for the price this hotel was great value. Very friendly and helpful reception. More

We made a reservation at the Beachside Inn 6 months in advance as part of a wedding block. We had even planned our vacation around it. However, a huge storm in New York delayed our flight over 4 hours, causing us to miss our connecting flight in Denver; thus we were unable to get to Santa Barbara in time for... More

Most of the accomodation in Santa Barbara seems to be high. We thought this hotel to be a little costly for what it was, with that said after staying we enjoyed our one night stay at this hotel. It is very clean and tidy, Bed was comfy . Nice little pool area, not that we used it . Staff very... More

This hotel is very good value for money- The room was clean and tidy not huge but you are only sleeping in it - you overlook the pretty garden area and the pool which was lovely and also had a spa in the pool area. There was free wine and cheese between 5.30 and 6.30 p.m. which was great for... More

This hotel isn't in the best location, however we didn't realise this until we got there. Luckily, we had a car to get around. Breakfast was a huge downfall! Expect some cereal and maybe a slice of toast if you're lucky. Small rooms, but we were only staying overnight to break up the drive from San Francisco to LA. More

Stayed here for 3 days as part of our Highway1 drive holiday (LA to SF). Arrived in Santa Barbara and commenced looking for accommodation on spec. Having been disappointed in some offers (mainly due to excessive price) we came upon this gem. Immediately clicked with staff who couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Very customer focussed. Staff were very... More

We did not have a reservation for a busy Saturday night, so we considered ourselves fortunate that the Best Western Beachside had a cancellation. Our room was spacious, clean, modern and comfortable. I am very fussy about beds/sheets and I have to say that both were very comfortable. We also had a small sofa (sofa bed), coffee table, and fridge... More

the hotel location is ok, right on the beach front and a few blocks from the main street. the hotel itself is a bit tired, there was no aircon just a fan and the bathroom needed a refurb. it was ok but there is plenty of other choice here More
