Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the breakfast every morning—egg frittatas, oatmeal, melon, cereal, pastries hot and cold drinks. Only downside was our room had a mild musty smell and the carpet/shower was old…I wore my thongs in the room and shower the entire time. Everything in the room felt slightly damp to me. Otherwise the Inn was quaint, quiet and centrally located—easy walk to the harbor. Jacuzzi was small but worked well and it was great to have towels poolside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will consider staying there again."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Can't say enough good things about this hotel! Nice spacious rooms, clean, great pool area with plenty of loungers, and lots of other outdoor places to sit and enjoy a drink. The amount of amenities (breakfast, wine/cheese happy hour, bikes, elec charging and more) makes this a great value. They even have a self-serve very inexpensive laundry room at their sister property next door. Thanks for a great stay in Santa Barbara!"
