Top Stearns Wharf Hotel Reviews

Ala Mar by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Surprised at older poor reviews; stayed here w elderly parents and enjoyed relaxed quiet peaceful stay, so close to beach and wharf."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Starting with check in, Jeremiah and everyone was so welcoming. The check in process was very quick and easy. The room was very clean. Bed was on the softer side, which I loved and the pillows were great not too soft not to firm. There are plenty of amenities included in the stay, wishing I got to stay just a little longer to enjoy everything the Milo has to offer. Oh yes and the guys at the valet 10/10."

Inn By The Harbor

2/10 Terrible

"The room was clean and the overall property is nice but the specific room I was given as a VIP Expedia had to be the worst: at the end near the street; noisy; shower wouldn’t turn off; hairdryer kept turning off; TV started on its own at 5:56am. Parking was full and I had to park way at the back in an area that felt unsafe. On the good side the breakfast was acceptable with egg bites, oatmeal, bread bagels, cereal, coffee, juice."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. wonderful toiletries, great having a separate bedroom, queen and full beds. The outside patio was private and lovely with bistro chairs and a table for two, lemon trees and plants lining the fenced patio. Parking was always available. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach, and many cultural activities, shops and restaurants. The staff are courteous and helpful. I would stay again!"

Harbor View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I drove down to Santa Barbara to celebrate her birthday. She had never been before. She is also 6 months pregnant so we couldn’t walk very far or long. Harbor View Inn is in the perfect location for Santa Barbara visitors right off Cabrillo and State Street. We walked to Funk Zone and all the restaurants we chose to eat at. We hung out by the pool a lot which was super refreshing. The room was gorgeous and cozy also. No complaints. We’ll definitely stay here in the future."

Marina Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our 3 night stay with our dog was amazing. Clean, well-appointed room with a comfy king bed and a separate kitchenette area that was nice to have for snacks and drinks. But it has a cooktop, pans, dishes, and glassware. A short walk to the beach Ora stroll to the center of town. Keep in mind, this is a motor hotel and all the cars park right outside your front door."
