Top West Beach Hotel Reviews

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Very convenient to things. Wonderful staff"

Marina Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Marina Beach is small but I found it a pleasant place to stay. The room is small but what is offered in-room is big: kitchenette, etc. The staff couldn't be nicer. I've stayed at very high end hotels where the staff makes me want to cancel my reservation. Here, they make one feel like they're glad we are here and they want to make our stay the best."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very cute clean and well-maintained. The breakfast they offered was wonderful. I had a great outdoor area to sit and eat or just relax and have a cocktail."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"They did a great remodel and it’s a great choice now. Will be heading back!"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Franciscan was an excellent choice for our stopover in Santa Barbara. Staff was excellent, beds were the comfiest hotel beds ever, grounds were beautiful, and it was the perfect location to walk to the beach and pier. They even have bicycles to use!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was helpful and very friendly. They kept the property in great condition. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the amenities including the hot tub/pool and the food for breakfast and happy hour was great. I would definitely come back here again to stay."

Riviera Beach House

8/10 Good

"This is in a great location close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. But for what you’re paying, it’s insane not to have a real shower. It’s just a “wet room” where there is a shower head and shower curtain but then the water goes everywhere. Prepare to have a soaking wet bathroom your entire stay. Cute hotel but would not book again."

ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property and facilities. Friendly staff"
