Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Because it is a motel the doors open directly to the outside and there was a gap between the door and the door frame where the light of day was visible. Additionally, the screen on the sliding door was broken and didn’t latch and had a hole in it so it was difficult to get fresh air into the room. Generally the room requires updating. There were appliances plugged into surge protectors.

The inn boasts classic Mediterranean flare, surrounded by lush gardens. Its proximity to the waterfront and downtown makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. Each morning, guests are treated to a continental breakfast. Don’t expect to walk out of there full but it’s plenty for a small bite. In the afternoon, unwind with a glass of wine during the inn’s small bites and wine reception. Lounge under the sun or enjoy a leisurely read in the charming courtyard. They have tons of foliage and it’s beautiful. Cool off in the pool or relax in the hot tub. The pool is also heated for the colder days. Explore the waterfront and nearby attractions on one of the inn’s complimentary bikes. The rooms are average and the bed was actually comfortable and we slept well in the quiet which was very nice. The inn’s design exudes a relaxed, coastal vibe. The staff at Inn by the Harbor truly go above and beyond. Their friendly demeanor and helpful recommendations made our stay even more enjoyable. Whether you’re on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, the Inn by the Harbor offers a delightful experience. I highly recommend it as one of the best boutique hotels in Santa Barbara. I would definitely stay there again!
