Top Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Perfect location two block walk to the Santa Barbara pier easy parking close to stores and restaurants"

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Pool hours are not ideal but otherwise the hotel was great"

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The Lavender Inn by the Sea was such a cute and charming place to stay! I loved the smaller, more intimate atmosphere, the delicious breakfast each morning, and the relaxing pool. It’s also conveniently located near Stearns Wharf. I truly enjoyed my stay and would happily come back!"

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"Nice staff, clean hotel and room. Really loud bar directly next to the hotel. Overall a little pricey for what it is."

Castillo Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Close to beach beautiful day"

Harbor View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful accommodations and amazing location. Staff was so friendly too! Loved every moment."

Marina Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel was a lovely place to stay. Well maintained, friendly staff, and the location can’t be beat. The inclusion of breakfast was a plus, and a great way to start the day mingling with other guests and the staff. I highly recommended the Marina Beach Hotel. That said, the nightly rates increase significantly on weekends. It would make the overall experience more agreeable if the room rates were more consistent throughout the week, especially since the accommodations themselves don’t change. It’s hard not to wonder why the same room costs considerably more simply because it’s a weekend."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is very well located and comfortable."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Professional staff. Full breakfast buffet to accommodate most dietary needs."
