Pros:

Love the location near East Beach. Easy walking to ocean, bike path, Tri County produce. Our room had a small kitchen which we really appreciated. We called the after hours # one evening and the staff promptly answered and helped us out.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit older and could use some maintenance/fresh paint/upkeep. We had windows facing parking lot (one side) and pool (other side) so has the potential to be noisy & not super private.

Nice location , staff . The place itself needs a bit of improvement as it’s pretty expensive for the quality.
Pros:

The coffee and breakfast pastries were nice. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Had a strong gas smell in our room. Very loud guests on floor above us all through the night.

Ruhiges und gemütliches Hotel in perfekter Strandnähe mit geräumigen Zimmern, komfortablen Betten!
Pros:

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt im Inn at East Beach in Santa Barbara. Die Lage ist hervorragend, nur wenige Minuten vom Strand entfernt und gleichzeitig angenehm ruhig. Für Spaziergänge, Joggingrunden oder einfach zum Entspannen am Meer ist das Hotel ideal gelegen.

Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption, der uns empfangen hat. Er war außergewöhnlich freundlich, hat uns alles gezeigt, uns begleitet und sich sogar persönlich darum gekümmert, einen Parkplatz direkt an der Straße für uns freizuhalten, obwohl er uns auch einen kostenpflichtigen Platz im Innenhof hätte anbieten können. Dieser Service war wirklich bemerkenswert und hat unseren ersten Eindruck sofort sehr positiv geprägt.

Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist der komfortable Zugang zu den Zimmern. Wir konnten direkt an der Straße vor dem Hotel parken und praktisch ohne Barrieren direkt vom Auto ins Zimmer gehen, ganz ohne lange Flure oder Umwege. Das fanden wir besonders bequem.

Unser Zimmer war groß, geräumig und sehr komfortabel. Die Betten waren bequem, und mit Kühlschrank sowie weiterer praktischer Ausstattung war alles vorhanden, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt.

Im Innenhof befindet sich ein schöner Pool, der zum Entspannen einlädt. Dort gibt es auch Tische und Stühle, sodass man gemütlich frühstücken oder den Tag ausklingen lassen kann.

Das Frühstück selbst war eher einfach gehalten, für uns jedoch völlig ausreichend. Viele Gäste bringen sich zusätzlich eigene Kleinigkeiten mit und können diese bequem im Außenbereich genießen.

Insgesamt hat uns das Hotel durch seine ruhige Lage, die Nähe zum Strand, die geräumigen Zimmer und den außergewöhnlich freundlichen Service überzeugt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Cons:

alles wunderbar
