Top Santa Barbara Historical Museum Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel that is close to the beach, the pier, stores and several excellent restaurants. The king bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were uncomfortable and the counter space was small. The air conditioning was noisy and turned on and off during the night. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with waffles, eggs bacon and sausage, bagels, pastries and muffins. The balcony is really a small patio enclosed by a five foot fence with a small table and two chairs. Overall, it is a good place to stay."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff and clean room with good overall location walkable to main Santa Barbara tourist locations, however directly next to a gas station. The room and property are dated but generally well maintained. Between the decent complimentary breakfast and the pool/jacuzzi area, the stay felt worth the $. Plentiful, complimentary parking is also a plus."

Ala Mar by the Sea

8/10 Good

"It was a fantastic experience, rooms were comfy and clean, bathroom was aesthetically pleasing, the architecture made me feel like i was in another country. The pool and hot tub was very immersive, and the breakfast provided was really well thought of. The only thing I could recommend in the future is that I needed to shave my beard and legs and arms during the trip (I was doing a bike race this weekend in SB), and it was pretty hard to shave effectively without a mirror in the bathroom (I’m not sure if every room doesn’t have a mirror in the bathroom). There was a mirror in the main room but if I shaved in front of there I’d get hair all over the floor in the main room. So I’d recommend a mirror in the bathroom. Other than that it was a phenomenal hotel experience!"

Mason Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The place was very pleasant! Having checked in late for only one night since I was in town for a concert I didn’t get to experience the full place me and my partner agreed we need to come back for a longer stay! They had snacks and treats in the room that honestly weren’t badly priced! Not to mention the complimentary beverages on check in, just so fun! Slept like royalty too, absolutely comfortable bed!"

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was awesome, but the noise from the street made it hard to sleep"

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great !"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good

"The reception area appeared clean but there was an unpleasant odor around it and in it."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute boutique hotel with a very friendly staff. Only issue we had was getting our luggage to our room on the second floor as there were no elevators."

Haley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The king/bunk family room was perfect for my group of 3 girls to stay in. AC worked well. Fan was a little noisy at night. I liked that there was a sliding door that could be used to separate the bunk from main room. There's also a small fridge and microwave. Paid parking lot next door was super convenient. Loved the easy online check in and mobile key. Property is cool...lots of communal outdoor space and games/activities to play with your friends. Only downside is no elevator which is normal for this type of property. It was only difficult for my friend that had a broken foot to go up and down the stairs. Would stay again though. The location is amazing."
