Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

4/10 Poor

"Property location is fabulous. Hotel sits right on the beach and the noise from the surf fills the air. Because there are a lot of rocks, it's not an undulating surf, it's loud and it's constant. I like it. The property itself though leaves a lot to be desired. It wasn't third world filthy, but it wasn't very clean. Floors were very dirty. Window sills were also dirty. Baseboards were dirty. Bedding and linens seemed fine. Lots of deferred maintenance. Many things were broken or in bad repair. Bathroom faucet handles were barely hanging on. Marble backsplash was cracked. There was dry rot present in door casings and baseboards. Toilet seat was hanging on by a thread. Shower surround was worn and there was drywall damage and mold at the top. The walls are VERY thin and if the ocean-facing window is closed, the sounds of the surf are replaced by the sounds of the freeway which is <100 feet away from the front of the property. The rooms have a feel of an owner that's no longer putting any $$ into the property and is simply looking to sell it ASAP."

Clocktower Inn Ventura

4/10 Poor

"Staff was very nice but Our Room had a dirty bathroom and dirty floors. It’s very outdated and smelled dusty. Loud AC unit, bed and pillows were horrible too. Too expensive for what it offers. Basic continental breakfast. Reviews on this hotel must be fake because there is no way it was worth more than 1 or two stars. Parking is awful, we had to go park at the museum parking lot next to the hotel, which it took us 10 minutes to walk from because the parking is a public parking lot where they also hold receptions for weddings and other events. Not recommended."

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was comfy with nice linens. Loved the ample counter spaces, the nice open shower with plenty of room, loved the shuttered windows, the staff is super friendly and helpful, also there’s plenty of parking. Love the Spanish motif and beautiful tile work. Great location not far from beach. Definitely would stay here again."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great place will stay again, the lobby coffee was far better than the trendy coffee shop across the road, and the bar person could mix a great cocktail, at a great price too. They welcomed our dog with treats and scratches, valet parking was convenient. Would recommend hotel Santa Barbara to anyone."

2/10 Terrible

"Terrible for the price they charged. I paid $400 for my room! When my husband was ready to turn into the parking lot, I told him no, because I thought we came to the wrong property. I just didn’t expect $400 would get me a pathetic motel room. That was exactly what it was: an old motel. It’s no difference from Motel 6, I suppose. Each room faces the hallway with absolutely no privacy. My room was old, dark, with old carpet. The bathroom was so small that the vanity has no cabinets under. It’s a triangle room that would make one feel claustrophobic. Worst was the paper-thin wall. At 10:00 p.m., our Nextdoor neighbors were talking loudly right outside the hallway. The noise woke me up, and they continued talking loudly till past 1:30a. m. I heard many distinct voices there, like 4-5 adults and then plus children. My room does not have traditional AC, but one of those portable one with tube going through the window. It was loud and so we had to shut it off at night and yet we can’t open the window due to noises outside. A restless night for me after I spent $400, and found out that I was bitten by something when I woke up early in the morning( I didn’t put my luggage on the bed so it wasn’t from us). Hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Don’t trust the walking distance posted on Expedia. Used my Google map and the walking distances of everything are about 40 percent more than they describe. No restaurant and no market nearby. It’s a residential area "
