My wife and I just spent the night at the Best Western Beachside Inn. We were in one of the parkside rooms which was spacious, newly renovated and very clean. I don't know why people have said there is no AC because ours worked well and they have ceiling fans also. Continental breakfast was great and the staff were friendly... more

I have stayed at this hotel four times: the first three were for business, the last one was with a large group of family members for a short vacation during the hotel's high season. I had very positive experiences when I was here on my own for business. The visit with my extended family was unsatisfactory. I would rate this... more

This was a "motel" not a hotel. From the multitude of very loud vagrants camping on the park bench across from our balcony to the EXTREMELY loud street noise from the street below, it was not a viable option to open the window in order to get air moving in the room. Not disclosed to us prior, this hotel has... more

We had difficulty in finding a reasonably priced one night stay at the weekend in Santa Barbara and booked the Best Western Beachside Inn with some trepidation. We found the position of the hotel to be ideal, the room a little small but clean and well equiped, car parking only $3 extra and they allowed us to leave the car... more

This hotel is situated at the harbour end of the town right across the road from the beach. It is a short walk to Stern's Wharf & State Street. There are longer, scenic walks right along the coast with plenty of places to stop & take coffee. Sunday mornings are very pleasant with artists & craftsmen selling/displaying their goods along... more

This hotel is run down, dirty and overpriced! We stayed there during the first week in June. The room was a 1-bedroom suite and $236 a night. The carpets had stains, the bathroom had peeling paint, was dirty and the toilet seat wasn't even attached! Front door did not shut all the way, Most the other hotels have a higher... more

This hotel is horrible. The hotel is directly on the street and our room was unbelievably loud. All the beach traffic pretty much is outside your window. Their were also ants that we found crawling on our sheets and after reading the reviews this isnt the first ant complaint. Be very wary staying here its overpriced, noisy and dirty for... more

Most of all the hotel staff was so nice and very accomodating. Two days after we checked out I realized I forgot my binder with has my... more

Before I booked this hotel, I checked the reviews here on Tripadvisor. One user noted that he was ultimately disappointed with the look and feel of Beachside Inn after passing by more aesthetically pleasing neighboring hotels such as Oceana and Habor View Inn. This user certainly hit the nail on the head! Compared to its neighboring hotels, Beachside Inn was... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in April. The room was located near a hallway, near the elevator and stairs. So it got quite noisy at times. The room was nice as it looked like it had been remodeled, except for the bathroom. It looked like they tried to remodel it, but it just didn't happen. There were... more
