We stayed a Harbor House Inn over July 4th weekend and it was great. The staff are very helpful and always there to answer any questions you might have. This is not a huge place, but a quaint place a block from the beach. Our room was a Queen Suite with a complete kitchen and was furnished nicely. Having a... more

My boyfriend and I went to Santa Barbara and hated the hotel we had booked. So we canceled our reservation and went searching for another one. When we came up to the Harbor House Inn, we were greeted by a young woman named Alison. She was very nice and was happy to show us several of the beautiful rooms. She... more

What a great place! Karen and her front office staff truly make one feel like an honored guest with their friendly check in, one-of-a-kind welcome basket, and helpful suggestions. The king rooms are really more like cottages with everything you need for a comfortable stay - kitchenettes, plenty of space, stylish wood flooring, wi-fi, large closet with a safe big... more

checked in here after being disappointed by another santa barbara hotel (next door) we had booked months in advance. were very pleased with everything - convenient location, lovely and helpful staff, comfortable room (which felt more like a little bungalow house) and great banana bread in the welcome basket! one complaint - in the middle of the night we did... more

I just read a review from someone who stayed at the Harbor House Sunday night for their anniversary as we did, too! Actually, yesterday, May 11 was our 30th anniversary but we stayed at the Harbor House, Room 118B, one of the king suites on Sunday May 10. We were in Santa Barbara to see Derek Trucks at the Lobero... more

We came here for our anniversary trip. We'd never been here before and I was not expecting much. Nice web site, but you never know until you walk into the room. Booking the room online was nice because the price was $20 lower than advertised. I think we got a great deal. It was a Sunday night and in the... more

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway in Santa Barbara. After asking a number of friends where the best place to stay was, we were referred to the Harbor House Inn. The positives were that the room was clean and the welcome basket was a nice touch. However, there were many negatives which I wasn't expecting... more

When our front desk was informed about the broken DVD player, we asked this guest to let us know a convenient time to check or replace this item. We were told that they would let us know in the morning. At noon, both guests came into the lobby to inform me that it was ok to go into their room...

Is there really anything better than an inn that welcomes you with a giant breakfast basket filled with fresh fruit, juices, and just-made banana bread? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely inn. It's clean, in a great location, and even has bikes you can borrow for a trip along with nearby oceanfront. Very charming. Great value. I'd definitely... more

We have just had 3 wonderful nights at Karen's beautiful Inn. This is so very well situated, about a 5 minute walk from the Amtrak Station and 2 minute walk to the beach. On arrival we were given a "welcome basket" with fruit, juices, and a delicious walnut & banana cake - went down very well, thank you. The room... more

Our first time at this inn and the service is everything we expected and more. Very clean, too, and the bikes are great for exploring the area. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and we woke up to birdsong every morning. However, although the neighborhood is quiet, the walls are thin, so if it happens that the other guests are... more
