Santa Barbara hotellia

Plussat: Location, generous room size, and the upgrade!

Plussat: The people were so nice to us, we got to ride bikes even after checking out. They even helped us out with how to get to our next destination. Very friendly! Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. It was very nice. Would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Plussat: The owner's personal touch on the property; up early in the morning making sure everything was in order.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Very comfortable, great location. Incredibly helpful staff and just loved the bikes.

Miinukset: Liked it all.

Plussat: It had a small amount of units which made if very comfortable. The location to the beach, pier, shops, and boardwalk was very convenient.

Plussat: This place is amazing! Will come back and definately recommend to anyone!!

Plussat: Everything was great and very comfortable.

Miinukset: It would be good to have a door between the bedroom and sitting room to cut off noise from early risers in the kitchen.

Plussat: Quiet, comfortable room. Great location and nice reception staff, courteous and professional. Good wifi and nice smart tv.

Plussat: It was quaint and cozy. Our room was a queen bed for 2 adults... it was a bit small of a room, but then again, its Santa Barbara and it is expensive. Our room has a courtesy breakfast basket since we stayed over two nights. It was quiet, nearly the entire day, we had secure parking and the employees were courteous and kind. The cleaning person was especially nice and thorough when cleaning our room. It was kind of a mess, and when we left after the first night to go explore, she was kind enough to clean up for me. She definitely didn’t need to move clothes or tidy up our personal affects, but we were pleasantly surprised and I super appreciated it!

Miinukset: I wish our bed was bigger.

Plussat: Beautiful lobby, room, pool, views, and location

Plussat: Great location. You can walk to beach, the funk zone for wine tasting or Shopping on State Street. The room was spacious with a small kitchen, walk in closet and nice bath. King bed was excellent. The tv had access to Netflix. Staff was very friendly.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The management was great and it was excellent in every way...

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Peaceful and felt like home

Plussat: Locations great- but the building and gardens are just lovely.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful B&B with stunning grounds. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious. Little touches like fresh cookies at night make the place really special. Will definitely return!

Plussat: The garden like grounds were lovely with trees, flowers, hedges and water fountains. We enjoyed being on the property more than anywhere else we have ever stayed. The breakfast was fabulous! In the evening, there was complimentary wine and hors d'ouevres, which were delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about the Simpson House Inn. Oh, and our room was upgraded to a cottage! I will never think of Santa Barbara again without fond memories of this place. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: We found nothing to dislike about the Simpson House Inn.

Plussat: We liked Omi ,she gave us excelent and warm service during our stay in Simpson inn

Plussat: The service was impeccable. Like staying with family... The included breakfast and snacks were thoughtful and delicious. The perfect romantic getaway. Highest recommendations!

Miinukset: Having to leave.

Plussat: If you need a place to take a deep breath and relax, Simpson House Inn is it. From our personal greeting when we arrived until we said good-bye, the friendly staff catered to our every need. Hedges surround the secluded Victorian home making it a true get-away. The room was beautifully decorated with antiques, meticulously clean, and very comfortable. The pillows and bedding were first-class and made for an excellent night’s sleep. The complimentary Kiehl’s bath and body products made getting clean delightful. At our romantic table for two on the veranda we were served amazing vegetarian breakfasts (banana pancakes were my favorite) on cherished family china. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a few too many of the fresh-baked cookies. The evening Hors d’oeuvres were truly delectable. We like good food – and we were not disappointed! In-between eating, we spent time sitting in the beautiful garden, listening to the soothing fountain, and admiring the sprawling Oak Tree. We strolled downtown, walked through nearby parks, visited a museum, and drove to Solvang. Our stay was a trip back in time, yet with all of the modern comforts – including Wi-Fi, television and a mini-fridge. Thank you Simpson House for the perfect vacation.

Plussat: It was the whole package - totally professional and thoughtful, it’s just a brautiful inn and really epitomizes what an inn should be. I spent one day relaxing and just absorbing all the pleasurable aspects and of course the most delicious canapies and wine, which. Evanescence’s my dinner. Having. Even travelling for over six weeks I needed this haven of peace and tranquility and I LOVED it. Professional and friendly - they have “got it right”! VERY right. You will not be disappointed - they anticipate your every need! And canapies were superb. Even cancelled my dinner reservation

Miinukset: I have just given them 10/10. I can’t think of anything - not one single thing.....

Plussat: The Simpson Inn offers wonderful and quite unique accommodation. It is run brilliantly and professionally offering some wonderful facilities and experiences from its very English Decor and diversity of rooms either in the main house or one of the many rooms within the grounds. Overall a brilliant experience.

Plussat: Beautiful gardens. Loved the fountains.

Plussat: No dinning option.

Plussat: Cute and comfortable. Wonderful staff. Easy to get to. Great location.

Plussat: Lovely facility about two blocks from the beach. It doesn't have a pool, but we didn't need one. Rooms are large and comfortable with a small kitchenette fully stocked with plates, pots and pans, microwave, toaster, and coffee pot. Plenty of built-in drawers. Has AC and a fireplace! Lots of places to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Loads of DVDs to borrow if you want to watch a movie.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and the property was immaculate. The free parking was a great bonus. The room was large and the closet space was a plus.

Miinukset: The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. I couldn't fit at the desk in the room so I had to work from my bed. The outlet are barely accessible.

Plussat: I like the retro look of the outdoor seating and the birds

Miinukset: It would be an extra plus if the furniture was a bit more retro too.Deco or 1950-60s.

Plussat: The room was very large, clean, and had a full kitchen - and the bed was huge and very comfortable. The hosts went out of their way to provide help and advice. I would definitely stay again - but not in the room right next to the office :).

Miinukset: There was zero soundproofing and I could hear every footstep and voice outside my window. The heater controls were confusing (despite instructions) and I kept adjusting the temperature all night without realizing that it was off the whole time.

Plussat: Everything about beach house was excellent. Unfortunately we were only passing on way to LAX. We would have loved an extra few days to spend time here. Hopefully we will sometime in the future.

Plussat: A very friendly and cosy guest house ideally located. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer !

Plussat: Breakfast was usually a choice of 3 items and all were good

Miinukset: There was a coffee machine in the breakfast area but there was no regular coffee or decaffeinated other than in the room.

Plussat: Charming, very accommodating staff, well located

Miinukset: I just felt there should have been more of a selection at breakfast.

Plussat: There was a full breakfast. Made to order. Not just some fruit and cereal. Also there was a keurig in the room. Liked that the room had hardwood floors you can tell when they are clean.

Miinukset: Nope.

Miinukset: No vanity in bathroom

Plussat: Die Einrichtung des Hotels ist wunderschön, auch die Lage und Freundlichkeit des Personals ist sehr gut.

Miinukset: Das Frühstück wurde serviert (kein Buffet), was an sich nicht schlecht ist. Man konnte jedoch nur auswählen zwischen einer Waffel und Rührei (auf einem Teller...) oder Müsli. Brot dazu wurde gar nicht angeboten, weder Toastbrot noch Bagels

Miinukset: Overpriced, breakfast was cancelled without notice.

Plussat: Amazing room, very private and quiet. Good location.

Miinukset: Called for a special request. But it didn't happen. They were going to try.

Plussat: We loved our suite with the fireplace, jacuzzi tub and patio! Everything was clean and spacious, and we had the perfect romantic getaway for our first anniversary. They even graciously provided chocolate-covered strawberries for the occasion. I highly recommend this adorable Inn!

Miinukset: We loved everything about Eagle Inn.

Plussat: What a charming, unique hotel! I loved it. The room was beautiful (with a fireplace), and the staff was great. I would definitely stay there again.

Miinukset: The walls were a bit thin...so could hear another guest.

Plussat: We liked this B&B a lot. Location was excellent, staff friendly, and nice clean room. We stayed in the Anacapa cottage. Nicely remodeled bathroom with a huge tub with Jacuzzi jets. Breakfast was included, all for the same price as other similiar hotels.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Eagle Inn is an attractive, clean, and well-maintained property, and is close to Santa Barbara's happening spots.

Miinukset: We were in room 102, right off the lobby, and adjacent to the breakfast room. At 7am every morning, there commenced from above and all sides such a clamor as to make sleeping past that hour impossible. Perhaps an upstairs room, away from the lobby would be better.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is good, walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is good and the staffs are friendly. The neighborhood is very nice to walk around.

Miinukset: Room was small, stains on the bed spread. Noise is a big problem. I could hear the cars, next door coughing and talking, and train horns in the evening. My room was above the kitchen so in the morning I could smell the smoke from fried eggs, etc.

Plussat: Gorgeous location and views! The staff were incredibly courteous and friendly. One of the best travel experiences we have had.

Miinukset: The Nepresso coffee maker in the room. Difficult to operate. But complimentary coffee in the lobby was good. Maybe return to a simple coffee machine?

Plussat: Fantastic rooms! Great staff!

Plussat: Fire place in the room and beautiful bathroom with a huge bath. It was my husbands birthday and they arrange balloons in the room and suprised him with Prosecco and strawberries.

Plussat: Great location and setting. Very peaceful and relaxing yet still close to activities and the town.

Miinukset: Ended up in a room with two double beds vs. preferred room with King. The parking/valet situation is also difficult and slow.

Plussat: Staff was helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: Upon arrival, the room given to us was overlooking a huge construction dumpster. We requested a different room, and were reassigned.

Plussat: The property grounds were very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful views from the pool and dining area.

Miinukset: You could hear the upstairs occupants above us quite clearly. Their footsteps sounded exceptionally loud. Not good when travelling with twin babies. The footsteps woke them up a couple times.

Plussat: Charming setting. Friendly accommodating staff

Miinukset: No self parking on property. $40 a day valet??

Plussat: New management and mostly new staff, but a great place to stop driving down the coast.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Best sleep ever at a hotel! Bedding, pillows, mattress are superb. Bathrooms are amazing - a little small but that’s ok.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: The setting for meals is picturesque and pleasant

Miinukset: The entire management is invisible and sleep at the switch and worse

Plussat: The service and property are the best we've seen in southern California we really enjoyed our stay and it's such beautiful scenery that you must stay at this hotel the food was delicious and they even have a car to take you where ever you want to go so you don't have to worry about driving after an all day wine tasting. The concierge will set up tours for you and give you advice on which placeset to visit while you are there a 5 star hotel hands down

Plussat: This place is a hidden gem! Friendly staff, beautiful facility, very comfortable and quiet rooms

Miinukset: It was perfect

Plussat: Friendly staff. Nice room, Hotel is very quaint.

Miinukset: Room smelled a bit stuffy & the bathroom did not have enough privacy, fire place did not work. No gluten free options on the menu.

Plussat: A very pleasant ambiance, much of that due to the staff who were both helpful and friendly and a sense of calm and relaxation. There is a very nice courtyard for relaxing or morning breakfast and the hotel is in a quiet location and convenient for access to local restaurants and the main street with its many cafes and shops. There is a good deal of information available to explore the local area and staff were very willing to supplement that or assist with any travel issues. Having a breakfast included was very helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: Parking was quite expensive at $25 a night although probably necessary given the general situation locally in this respect. The room was a little tired, although very clean and well serviced, for example the kettle worked off an extension lead and cut out before it boiled. Breakfast was a little limited but perfectly adequate.

Plussat: Staff very friendly and attentive. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Plussat: Staff is all very friendly and helpful. Location is great, walked to State Street, restaurants and shopping. Also beach, wharf and Funk Zone is walkable distance.

Miinukset: Pricey, but then Santa Barbara is overall.

Plussat: Beautiful and comfortable room and garden. Lovely breakfast. Staff excellent!

Miinukset: Pool pretty but very small & shallow, no hot tub to warm up in.

Plussat: Very cozy place, English style. We arrived a bit late and we were upgraded. Nice and friendly staff. Can only recommend.

Miinukset: No complains. Great stay, thank you.

Plussat: Attention to small details, perfect service, romantic propriety.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: The breakfast and the size of the room.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely inn and very comfortable room

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful back yard. Nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Can’t thing of anything.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff Walking distance to downtown Beautiful accommodation

Miinukset: Great location Good bed Lovely balcony Pretty room

Plussat: Beautiful grounds and accommodations. The staff was exceptional! Carlos showed to our bungalow and took pics of me and my family. Couldn’t have asked for better service. From the greeting staff at the front is the hotel, to the check in staff, to the room service staff, and valet, couldn’t have asked for more courteous service.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Fabulous private hotel in wonderful grounds. Expensive but a lovely treat.

Miinukset: Locked out of our room as cards did not work

Plussat: On site terrace restaurant has great view. Food quality and service was first rate. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Very good pool facilities in hotel and at adjacent club.

Miinukset: Room decor was a little dated. Needs refurbishment without destroying its character. In contrast, bathroom facilities were very good. Beach quality marred by tar deposits from off shore oil activity.

Plussat: Location, the room

Miinukset: No Wi-fi, no shower cap, and the fees for every little thing (like parking, food) were very high.

Plussat: Everything was amazing

Plussat: The staff is unmatched. I think that was the best part of the experience. They were unbelievably kind, generous, helpful. The grounds are gorgeous. It was like 24 hours of heaven.

Plussat: Good food, atmosphere and customer service.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel. Great location with stunning sea views. Helpful staff. Amazing pool and bar.

Plussat: Tennis courts and overall ambiance

Miinukset: Room I initially got smelled really bad and we had to get switched. Unacceptable for the price we paid

Plussat: Very comfortable. Beautiful grounds

Miinukset: Poor accessibility to cycle facility. Overpriced extras

Plussat: The landscaping, ocean view, location. Pool and spa

Miinukset: The room hallways in building we stayed in could use a remodel

Plussat: We were newly weds coming from our wedding for some relaxing time. We had our dog and they upgraded us to bungalow. Never stay at a 4 seasons but their customer service was beyond anything i have seen. Everyone somehow knew our names,it was incredible

Miinukset: I highly recommend paying extra for coral casino pool that sits on the ocean. Unbelievable half salt water Olympic size pool. Can't say enough about customer service.

Plussat: Beautiful

Miinukset: Breakfast staff

Plussat: Classy room. Heated tile floors in bathroom. Outdoor patio on first floor. Beautiful location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was amazing

Plussat: Comfortable bed, pretty good continental breakfast, check out at 12pm. The room had a small fridge and complimentary bottles of water.

Miinukset: The room was average size but the bathroom was huge with only a regular size tub and just all floor space. The space could have been used better.

Plussat: The main restaurant is great for dinner and lunch and the food is really good. The bar staff are excellent and do a good job of juggling orders. The beds are super comfortable.Great view BUT..see below comments

Miinukset: They do not serve a cooked breakfast which is so disappointing considering how much money you are paying to stay there. We were about to cycle from Santa Barbara to Redondo Beach that day and all they provided was 'a continental breakfast' which was basically sugar in the form of sticky pastries, toast, fruit, granola AND absolutely NO protein. We were told that they could not even provide boiled eggs, cold cut ham or cheese as the kitchen didn't open until 11.00am We left the hotel and went across the road to the Hilton which had a fabulous buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: Lovely hotel, perfect location, large rooms, loved every minute of it. One constructive comment would be to add a full length mirror in the rooms...

Plussat: Staff was extremely polite and helpful. View from the balcony is breathtaking. Room was clean.

Miinukset: There was only 1 soap in the bathroom for 2 sinks. Stepping out from either the shower or the bathtub there was only one towel for the floor. The extra room in the Penthouse with the beautiful view to the ocean could have been differently furnished to better utilize the space for people to enjoy the view. The breakfast definitely needs improvement and wider selection.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast Buffet was a complete joke, as store bought bagels were still slightly frozen and selection was severely lacking. Plus since we had three rooms, I asked if we could get a late checkout in just one room, so we could stroll along waterfront. Immediate response was no without checking with any of her supervisors to see if they could accommodate my request. SO SAD when a hotel is blessed with a great location and quality construction and yet is staffed by indifferent millennials who have no clue on what makes a hotel great.

Plussat: The location is great and hotel/restaurant personnel was very nice. The restaurant is very good.

Miinukset: The light in our bathroom did not work well. We mentioned it but apparently nobody cared. We paid quite a lot for the Ocean view but it was only partial view. We were told at our arrival that we had an upgrade for our reservation but finally it was not true!

Plussat: Size of the bedroom and bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was good and the position of the hotel was lovely. It was very clean as well.

Miinukset: Nothing - it was all good

Plussat: The staff is incredible. Very service oriented.

Plussat: Continental breakfast was good.

Miinukset: $19 per night for parking was excessive.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything is perfect.

Plussat: Tea, coffee, cakes The warm welcome from all staff. The beautiful garden surrounding the property. On site parking. Free wine tasting in the evening. Fantastic bathroom.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been much better.

Plussat: What I loved the most were light, but very filling breakfasts in their tranquil, outdoor setting and the entire home-like atmosphere of the Inn. BEAUTIFUL! Pleasant and willing food servers, also!!

Miinukset: No restaurants are located within walking distance of this Inn. It took a drive to get anywhere and if you don't have your own car, taxis are PRICEY!

Plussat: The baked goods were absolutely delicious. All of the little details made the stay special. We wished we had stayed more nights.

Plussat: The staff was great. Nice welcoming and gave tour of room with notice I'd been upgraded to a room with a king sized bed. Breakfast was very good. Also was nice to be asked about any food allergies or preferences. Clean but old (not a surprise).

Miinukset: Other reviewers spot on. Staff was outstanding, but it is staying in grandma's house. "Off" atmosphere & odd music playing. Tiny bathroom-shower is 24"x24" with sink outside. Pillows are foam. Pricey for what you get. Wanted to like but I expected more.

Plussat: breakfast prepared with a lot of care, and thought,very filling and delicious. We felt very pampered ! Wine in the late afternoon with cheese a very nice treat.

Plussat: The Bath Street Inn is lovely. Haley and the staff do a wonderful job taking care of the guests. The breakfast and home made cakes and cookies are delicious. There is parking on site and its close to down town. The gardens and patio are beautiful.

Plussat: Character, quiet. Close to town and the wharf.

Plussat: Kaunis sisustus, mukava sänky, erinomainen aamiainen

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Very nice and caring staff.

Plussat: The home like feel, the charm of the place and Dominic the Owner. She cared for you like you were one of her family!

Miinukset: That we could not stay longer!

Plussat: Staff was very nice, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful. Would definitely stay there agsin.

Plussat: Very charming. We would definitely come again.

Plussat: Wish we could keep it a secret so it would always be avoidable when we want it! This was an absolute treasure of a find. Individual cottages spread around a nice garden setting with plenty of privacy and places to just sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Staff were wonderful, rooms clean and cozy, and the breakfast to die for! We plan to come back with our whole family of 6 adult kids and their families and take over the whole place for a few days!

Miinukset: Nothing bad to say. Absolute joy.

Plussat: It was very private and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Not a lot nearby for nightlife, cottages need some updating.

Plussat: great location, they made me a special breakfast due to my allergies

Miinukset: our room was in the main house and right next to the kitchen, can get a bit noisy from guests.

Plussat: Dominique. Breakfast. The place. The garden.

Plussat: This is a cute little place located very close to downtown Santa Barbara. If you walk 10-15 min, there are many restaurants and shops. The place is so cozy, and it feels like you are staying at a family home. Dominique is very friendly. There is a cat living there - which is a plus for me :) And their breakfast is the best. I wish I could have stayed there just to eat their breakfast!

Miinukset: It was hard to find outlets but I managed.

Plussat: Liked the apartment like setting and outside entrance. Worked well for an active toddler!

Miinukset: Pool was cold.

Plussat: The wine and cheese in the afternoon along with cookies in the evening. Really enjoyed renting bikes for the day. It was a nice bonus that they were complimentary. The free movie rental was also a pleasant surprise!

Plussat: Excellent location, knowledgeable staff, clean rooms, great parking, and nice touch with breakfast, wine and cheese in afternoon, and cookies and milk in the evening

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: They’re so friendly and accommodating. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne and It wasn’t just any cheap bottle. Will for surely come back ! Over all it was really great!

Plussat: Amazing staff and experience

Plussat: The bathroom and shower were nice and roomy. I like the bath products they supplied.

Plussat: Really nice staff everyone was helpful and took time to just chat. They had covered parking. There was one washing machine and dyer, more would be better but at least there was one. They breakfast room was very pleasant and even if the breakfast was pretty much the same each day, it was well assorted. There is coffee all day, a cheese and sparkling cider happy hour followed by milk and cookies at 6:30 to 8. There are free bikes. We were upgraded as repeat customers so of course we liked it very much.

Miinukset: Pool wasn't heated and there is no view from your room.

Miinukset: Small, noisy room. Tiny pool with many loud children.

Plussat: It is a very cozy property with a lot of amenities we did not expect like afternoon wine & cheese ,cookies ,free bike rentals etc.Staff corrdial ,helpful and nice.Location -very good a block or 2 from the Harbour -walking distance from the Funk Zone and rather close to downtown

Miinukset: Do not have anything to say

Plussat: Really enjoyed our stay...breakfast and parking included. We used the bikes at hotel to bike downtown Santa Barbara. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Nice pool area except hot tub read below. Complimentary happy hour was a nice touch. Staff was excellent.

Miinukset: The hot tub needs to be replaced. It is old and maintenance guy said leaking. Such a nice property hopefully they will replace such an eye sore!

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location, bike rental

Miinukset: Rooms could use upgrading.

Plussat: Super cute hotel 2 blocks from the beach. They are very warm and welcoming and have amazing hospitality. Wine and cheese hour every evening and fresh baked cookies and milk every night. Great free breakfast in the morning too. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
