Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed and complementary breakfast and parking."

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, and the entire property was quiet and peaceful. Everyone mostly kept to themselves, which made for a relaxing stay. The air conditioning worked amazingly it kept the room nice and cold, which was especially appreciated during the warmer weather. The pool was also clean and well maintained. The only minor downside was that there wasn't a microwave in the room. However, there is a shared microwave located in the laundry room next to the washers, dryers, and vending machines, so it wasn't a huge inconvenience. As for the staff, we honestly didn't interact with them much, so I can't fairly comment on the service. We didn't need to ask for anything during our stay. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would definitely consider staying here again."

Hotel Californian

8/10 Good

"The property is indeed unique - - beautiful architecture - our room however was extremely overpriced for having it face a parking lot and garbage area . The room itself was clean although the carpet had several spots all over. For 1300 / night I would expect more, at least a bigger property with more to do … The pool area was the best thing we experienced in the hotel although they didn’t really have food or drink service - waiters would show up maybe once / hour. They are located in the best Santa Barbara Funk Zone as it’s called but that also within 2 min walk of commercial transportation train tracks."

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our family trip with beachside inn. The staff was very friendly and helped us get adjoining rooms. the parking was easy and were able to walk around. Since it was hot the pool was nice and clean. The breakfast buffet was a nice way to start the day, especially with our picky little eaters. overall nice stay."
