“Exceptional Experience !”

I had the opportunity to speak with the owner of the Old Yacht Club Inn (Eilene) during my reservation process. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the rates are also excellent!! We are very happy with the place and have not even checked in yet. Anthony & Darla

“Love This Place”

Reviewed May 5, 2013 via mobile

Stayed here the night before and the night of our wedding and was so happy we did. Our room was super cute and had plenty of room. The location was ideal, walking distance to the beach and the service was amazing. Everyone was so nice and accommodating.

We appreciate your 4 star review of our property especially since you stayed here the night before and the night of your wedding and were so happy that you did! We're happy you did also and that you found your room super cute roomy, especially the night before your wedding. Walking distance to the beach is a plus. Thank you... More

“The Worst”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

We had a small wedding in Santa Barbara last year and a friend thought this place would be great. We stayed one night! We had a room downstairs at the foot of the staris (an upgrade because it had a patio that looked at the driveway). The bathroom was clearly a converted closet, long and skinny. The sink was a...

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your free room upgrade with your private enclosed deck. Most of our bathrooms are small like you point out. When the home was built in 1910 it only had shared bathrooms and we converted all of the walk in closets into private bathrooms so that all guests would have private baths.... More

“Tired, but true”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

We recently spent a full week at the OYCI. We had one of the best rooms I think, in the second building. While the staff was truly wonderful, the room, the bkes, and particularly the plumbing were not. Our room was on the ground floor, had a kitchenette, and deck. Everything was well worn. The first night we had guests... More

We value your input especially since you spent a full week visiting with us. Thank you for complimenting our "truly wonderful staff " and location and how our Innkeeper, Jazmin did a remarkable job, responding very quickly when a plumbing problem occurred. We will check the paint in the kitchen area that you pointed out. Thank you for that. "... More

“Disappointing”

We tried and tried to get in touch with the manager because the dust was coming into our room through the heater, as well as other problems. The staff wasn't able to help us. We wanted to change rooms, but she never returned our call, so we finally left a message telling her that we were leaving to find another... More

The staff notified us right away so we were able to contact our in house maintenance repairman. After he looked at the heater he let us know that the... More

“Totally lacking in so many ways”

Reviewed January 26, 2013 via mobile

No heat. No hair dryer. No breakfast before 8:30. No peep hole in door. No staff after 7pm. Ironing board is for tabletop & only table big enough is coffee table so you have to kneel on floor & let clothes drag on floor to iron them. Would never stay here again.

The whole Inn has heat, both central heat and individual heaters/fireplaces in the rooms.

Enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays. They gave a great deal of 1 night free with 3 nights stay.
