We had researched hotels as my husband had appt. @ Sansum clinic & thought we should @ least have ocean view. We learned the following: The East beach is the best, quietest, etc., vs the west where the Marina, restarurants, hotels are practically on the sidewalk, etc., ... the Cabrillo, Santa Barbara Inn, & the Mar Monte are on the... more

The Cabrillo Inn in Santa Barbara was nice but very far away from the Amtrak station where we had a car free experience. If I had a family and wanted to stay away from the crowd and had a car I might prefer to stay at Cabrillo Inn. The rooms where simple and plain. The staff was very helpful and... more

The Cabrillo Inn has a fantastic beach location but unfortunately the cleanliness of the room (bathroon), maintenance (clogged drain in tub), and smoking policy (people smoke on the common deck) are not the best. Not a good value for the price. Look for something else. Would not stay there again. more

When we arrived I was amazed at how delapitated the property was for the $179.00 price although it was right on the cross from the beach. The rooms were even worse. Very old, lumpy, uneven beds. Smelly carpet and 1970 furniture and bedding. No air conditioning or bright lighting in the rooms and very few parking spaces on the lot.... more

After checking many places on the net and looking through Tripadvisor. My wife and I decided along with my 20 and 18 year old girls and my 12 year old son we choose the Cabrillo. The 2 days and nights we stayed we had a great experience. The staff was great and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There is... more

This hotel is okay if you're not looking for a quiet romantic get away. The staff is friendly enough with good resturant suggestions. The rooms are clean. My main problem was with the noise made by other occupants of the hotel. Because most of the rooms surround the swimming pool, you can hear the folks in the pool at all... more

The staff was polite and helpful. I felt relaxed and comfortable during my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained. The pool area along with the water was just right. The view of the beach was excellent!! I definitely recommend this hotel to other potential visitors. more

We came to Santa Barbara for a family reunion. This hotel is right across the street from the beach. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. We had a nice ocean view. No hair dryer. I did bring my own just in case. NO AC and it was 93 degrees. I'm told the weather was unusual. We went for... more

Last December, our extended family f 12 stayed at the Cabrillo Inn for a one-week reunion. This was our second reunion at the Cabrillo Inn and we had a terrific time. The location is spectacular, the staff most friendly, efficient and accommodating, and the amenities most enjoyable. They are renovating the rooms over time and the "new" rooms are even... more
