when we got from L.A. to Santa Barbara, we had great expectations about Frank's place having read so many lovely descriptions and valuations in the internet before. - We have to admit that every positive remark was more than true! we loved to stay at this place so much that we had to take an extra night, although we ran...

Good location, parking available, security gates to the rooms. Swimming pool a reasonable size, patio area to sit and eat the complimentary breakfast provided by Frank, but if you are a couple Frank says in the morning the man should come to reception and fill a try with the breakfast goodies on offer and take back to the room for...

Its hard not be a little disappointed when a place gets such overwhelming great reviews. I concur with the other posters that the service here was wonderful. I've never seen anything quite like it. The breakfast was also well above average. The hotel itself was nice enough, but it is centered around a pool and courtyard, and the layout makes... More

We had a great time at the Inn at East Beach! We were visiting for our friends' wedding and could not have been happier with the Inn. The continental breakfast was a pleasant surprise and the staff was great. Frank made our day, every day. More

Booked this due to the excellent tripadvisor reviews and it didn't disappoint. Frank greeted us upon check-in and couldn't have been more helpful, supplying us with brochures and info on Santa Barbara. There is free parking in the lot behind the property which was good. Room was tastefully decorated complete with coffee maker and fridge. There is no in-room safe... More

During a recent road trip, my husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this property located less than one block from the beach in Santa Barbara. Friends told us about this place, and I would definitely go back. When you check in you are greeting by one of the owners who are fantastic. They welcomed us, gave us... More

We stayed in a suite with no neighbors and a balcony. We stayed three nights and our first morning were greeted by Frank in the breakfast area. He made us feel at home. Their were fresh baked goods, strong coffee and plenty to eat. Frank was smart and very cool. We are from Miami and very well traveled . Fine... More

My fiance and I recently stayed at Inn at East Beach for two nights while in town for a concert at Santa Barbara Bowl. We were able to check in early and enjoy more of the day in Santa Barbara. About the location: The hotel is two streets from the beach and close to a crosswalk. It is located in... More

Room lovely with great toileteries. Frank the owner could not have been nicer and so helpful. The breakfast was great and Frank gave us pastries and coffee for ongoing trip. We walked into town(we are both in our 60s) and it is a long way but hotel is 5 minutes from beach. Lively place to stay. More
