Top Santa Barbara City College Hotel Reviews

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean extra large room with two queen size beds. Ground floor. Parking was right outside our room. The hot tub in the pool were great. Within walking distance of the pier and the marina which both have great restaurants."

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is in a perfect walkable location in SB. We picked it because they allow dogs and the room is actually perfect to have dogs! Little kitchen, which makes feeding them easy. Also spacious! We brought a Great Dane and there was plenty of room :) Bed was pretty comfy and room has AC and a nice bathroom. The only thing I didn’t love was the noise. You can hear the people above you, but a sound machine helps! Honestly despite the noise, would stay here again ;)"

Castillo Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a good neighborhood walkable to many restaurants, beach and pier. The room was fine and clean."

Lavender Inn by the Sea

8/10 Good

"This hotel was a perfect location to explore Santa Barbara. It was quiet and clean, beds were comfortable and parking was easy. Our only issue was that we had no WiFi the entire time (3 nights) we were there and would’ve stayed elsewhere had we known beforehand. There was some sort of outage happening which is fine, they probably just should say so in case customers really need WiFi (for work etc). Otherwise really great! Personally I’d stay there again but would just call first to check on WiFi."

Beach House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at Beach House Inn! The property was incredibly clean, beautifully updated, and had such a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Everything felt well-maintained, and we especially appreciated how safe and secure the property was. Parking was also excellent, convenient, and hassle-free! Overall, a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back!"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A+"

Ala Mar by the Sea

8/10 Good

"loved the balcony looking over the street to the beach. Could sit out there more. room was clean and the price was great for the location. would stay again for sure. issue was checking in got there at 1:30pm and office was closed with a number to call. called number and mail box was full. I think a gentleman they hired told us to go to office of hotel in back. got there no one was around went back to other office and what i thought was a maintenance man gave us a number to call the boss. call him and he told us no one was to be at the desk until two. Question: why didn't they have a note on the door of the hotel we were staying at to tell us 2pm and where to go to get checked in. Went to lunch and all was fine after we got back and understood how and when to check in."

Casa Del Mar Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel’s location just off the main beach drive offers walking access to the pier and to recommended restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. As a weary traveler, I was rejuvenated by the afternoon offerings of wine and appetizers. What a treat! The only hotel shortcoming was the only way to regulate the temperature and get fresh air in our first floor room was to open windows. Sleep was disrupted by sirens and other outside sounds. Since a screen doesn’t offer much security, we were also a little on guard."
