The hotel was fine in an average sort of way, comfy bed, nice location across from the beach, tasty breakfast, fridge, updated bathroom, etc.. Nothing really stands out about this hotel as it was average in pretty much every way. The hotel delivered on my expectations physically and didn't deliver in any other way. I wasn't fond of the staff,... more

We stayed at the West Beach Inn August 6-8, 2008 for our 20th anniversary. It is a small motel (40 something rooms in all), but well maintained rooms and ground made it feel like a larger hotel. The room was nice, recently remodeled. We had a harbor view king room at $270.00 midweek, a little pricey, but I guess that's... more

Very close to the beach. The exterior of the motel is nothing special. Rooms have been recently renovated- everything appeared new or near new. Bathroom was tiny but nice. Small refrigerator and free wi-fi were nice touches. Free breakfast was also a nice touch. Main portion of State Street is about a 15 or 30 minute walk (depending on how... more

We switched to the West Beach Inn after reading reviews of cockroaches about our already booked hotel. The inn was pretty bland on the outside, not much can be done to its 1960s concrete stucco exterior. It has a nice location, good price for the area, and nice interiors. From looking at the outside, the room interiors were a lot... more

for the price, go next door to the Harbor Inn, which is stunning and modern in comparison. The hotel location was convnient , about 15 min walk from State street, but aside from the location, the hotel felt more like a motel! it was old fashioned with a motel like breakfast. For the first time in my life I was... more

My friend and I travelled to Santa Barbara to attend a wedding and chose the West Beach Inn for the good reviews and value. We were not disappointed - the room was just lovely, the location was great - close to State Street (loved the trolleys). The continental breakfast was just a perfect way to start the day - although... more

We booked this hotel after reading the other positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Stayed two nights with two teenage daughters and we all loved it. The bathrooms were nicely appointed and clean. A tad small but fine. Rooms were very spacious and beds were awesome. Pool and jacuzzi a hit with all of us. Very nice continental breakfast for something quick.... more

For a more reasonable price, it would've been average, or even a bit above, but at the price we paid, it did not deliver so I have to say it was below average. We paid extra for a balcony, but the view was mostly of a parking lot and there was a lot of street noise, so it didn't work... more

I picked this hotel based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed! We had booked two single queen rooms (2 nights); one room for I and my boyfriend and another for his father who is wheelchair bound. The customer service was wonderful. They even offered the handicapped room, when they noticed our father was in a wheelchair.... more

We used the Santa Barbara free travel agency at hotspotsusa.com to book this hotel. We called them the morning of our stay and we were happy with our room. The pool and hot tub were clean, there's always fresh fruit and coffee, they have towels for the pool and even a cabana you can use if you're checking in early... more
