The Inn felt very clean and was away from the touristy area of the main resorts. Perfect location. The staff was kind and eager to help and make recommendations. The beds are delicious and I love that everything felt quaint and cozy and not ultra sleek or too modern. Lovely amenities and loved that the pool was open late. Super COVID safe. And so close to the beach! We loved our stay.

Such a great stay, the staff was fantastic and the overall experience was just what I needed. Also, shout out to the tiled bathroom. Very cool vibe. The hotel's location in proximity to the hot springs was also ideal.

I feel like boutique hotels at this price point are rare in the US- most of the time we stay in Marriots and Hyatts that all feel the same. The Montecito Inn is unique. It has history and charming vibe, but is also comfortable, cozy and conveys a level of luxury. Location is fantastic- just 8 min walk from Butterfly Beach which is fantastic for morning runs and evening sunset watching. The Inn is right on Coast Village Road with some of the best cafes and restaurants. We couldn't avail of the amenities due to covid, so cannot speak to those. Hotel staff was friendly and welcoming, and the hotel kept strict standards of cleanliness.

When I lived in Beverly Hills, the Montecito Inn became a favorite "escape" from the traffic and congestion of Los Angeles. It is historic property build by Chaplin and Arbuckle and has been wonderfully updated. Solid, quiet, clean....classic. The restaurant is wonderful and I highly recommend it. The beach, shopping, and numerous restaurants are within walking distance. Highly recommend.
