Nice clean place, decent value but I was a little disappointed. It's like an upgraded motel experience. Somehow after reading the reviews and looking at the photos I was expecting a bit more. If you are looking more for a bed rather than a place to hang out, this place fits the order. more

Taking a leisurely trip around southern and central California and up the coast ... and was looking for a one-night place in SB that wouldn't bust the bank. And I found one in the Inn at East Beach. Think of an updated California roadside motel ... one that if it were down in Malibu or Santa Monica would cost a... more

today 6/17/09, I received an email from Inn at East Beach with their current special offers, which prompted me to check out tripadvisor to see what the current reviews were like and mostly out of curiousity to see if anyone else had mentioned/had the same problem that we did there 3 yrs ago...didn't see any mention of it so thought... more

Having spent a lovely 24 hours in Santa Barbara with my girlfriend we can thoroughly recommend the Inn at East Beach and can only echo the positive comments people have previously written. The service, complimentary breakfast, andlocation were all excellent. The only thing to mention is that the rooms are (arguably) slightly dated. However, for the price in Santa Barbara... more

We spent three wonderful nights in Santa Barbara in April. Having spent three weeks on the road we badly needed a break. The Inn at East beach was not our first choice but tempted by the reviews we decided to book on sight. The Hotel is comfortable but not luxurious but has a very spacious kitchenette and is within two... more

We have stayed at The Inn at East Beach three times now and feel as if we have found our Santa Barbara "home away from home." We orignially landed there after reading a review in Travel and Leisure. Our hosts, Frank and Linda are what makes the Inn a remarkable and unique place. The rooms are basic, have nice conviencies... more

If you take away the disinfectant smell in the room, and take away the thundering herd of elephants in the room above us, and take away the sound of Niagra Falls rushing into your room when the room next to us turned on the shower....it was great. Oh yes, that was until we realized an hour outside of Santa Barbara... more

Stayed at the Inn a few years ago and had a pleaseant experience at the Inn up until the day of check-out. Lets start with the Inn/motel first. Decent rooms, nice pool, o.k. continental breakfast and no problems at all with our room. Our stay would have been nice too, that is until we checked out. I had the room... more

This is without a doubt the best deal in Santa Barbara. Frank, the owner/manager, has the gift of making you feel special. His opening line," I see you brought your daughter along", is to me as my wife stands by grinning from ear to ear!! The property is very well kept, pool is heated, rooms are clean with a fireplace,... more
