This motel is in a good location and the manager is so helpful and welcoming which outweighs any disappointment with the standard of the rooms themselves. We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms which was large but quite dated and a little dark. However while we were there the manager told us about the planned upgrade which looked really... more

A two-year divorce battle left me stressed to the point of not being able complete a full sentence without stuttering or searching for the right word. I knew I had to take a break, but money was an issue. God bless you and your Catch a Break Special. I was thrilled to find such a great price, but concerned that... more

Basically this is an older Motel style property. I read many of the reviews here and was suspicious of the number of great reviews which were balanced by a number of bad reviews - no middle ground. I would say that this is not the top of the range accomodation however you pay for what you get in Santa Barbara.... more

We were unsure what to expect after reading all these reviews - they are quite mixed. Firstly the room was huge - way bigger than I expected and the bed was very big. The bathroom is seperate. We had a bit of trouble starting the shower but rang down to reception and they told us it was just a bit... more

Expect a *two* star hotel and you will enjoy yourself. It's definitely a beach motel. I'm not sure what others were expecting but Santa Barbara is a pricey place for everything, especially lodging, especially last minute! The minuses of the hotel were that it is quite old, building and furniture-wise, and the sound carries in this relatively small hotel. The... more

Santa Barbara has a hotel/motel problem. There are few inexpensive hotels and many expensive hotels. We chose the Inn at East Beach for a wedding based upon TripAdvisor reviews. Honestly, the Inn at East Beach is a Motel 6 posing as an Inn. The "suites" are standard hotel rooms with the added value of a fireplace. The double beds were... more

I did my research...granted I didn't have too much time to plan since we decided to take my in-laws to SB for the weekend for the first time kind of last minute. Most hotels were booked, esp. the one we had stayed in previously. I read some reviews, but you can't totally depend on them since half are positive and... more

I really enjoyed my stay at the Inn. I chose this location after reading all the reviews on here. The staff at the Inn was superb... so friendly! We arrived later than expected the first night, and manager was very helpful in checking us in quickly and recommended a place for a late night meal. The room was very cozy--... more

The owner of this hotel hasn't put a cent into the place since the 1960s, or so it appears to me. I had the upgraded jr suite too, which had a kitchen that had tables and chairs which looked like they came from a little girl's doll set from the 1960s. The carpet was a worn out green fabric which... more
