We choose this hotel for a stopover on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Check in went ok, the staff provided us with information and maps for Santa Barbara which were useful for finding somewhere to eat that evening. The room was basic and an alright size, which was ok for us as we were only there for... More

This hotel is located across from the beach, when we arrived we were upgraded to a room with a view of the beach which was brilliant. The room was nice and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the cheese and wine served in the evening around the pool area. More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and I would recommend it to everyone. The best points about it are: 1) Location - you just need to cross the road to get to the beach and a good selection of restaurants are nearby as well as the pier and the marina. The small bus to downtown Santa Barbara is... More

What a nice place to stay for a getaway weekend. Our room (king with harbor view) looked exactly like the picture on their website. The room was large and very nicely appointed. The one downside was that it had the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. With the room, large balcony, and view we could overlook the bathroom. Staff was very... More

Completely furnished with EVERYTHING, including washer and dryer. It has 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, large kitchen and dining, several big screen TVs. plus two patios. 5-7 is a wine and cheese hour and... More

We spent one night here. It looks like an average motel but the rooms are furnished very nicely indeed and the highest beds we encountered during our holiday! Air con in the rooms are very old and inefficient units so you are better off to avoid the ground floor so you can leave a window open at night. Our third... More

Only staying here overnight on a drive down the coast it was great. Staff were great, decent breakfast along with the evening wine and biscuits. Location is good being close to the marina and beach, but it is a little away from the main strip of shops and restaurants. Overall was perfect for our 1 night stopover. Maybe slightly overpriced...

We stayed at the West Beach Inn for one night when travelling up the coast and enjoyed a good stay in a comfortable room overlooking the lovely gardens and just a short walk away from West Beach. Parking upon arrival was easy and free of charge so that was a good start. Check-in was friendly, quick and professional and our... More
