    Payment charge
    Wilson W.

    Avoid the Haley at all cost! I made a one-night stay reservation through Airbnb using Apple Pay one week prior to stay. The day prior to reservation, they offered express check-in but it required a credit card. Not thinking much of it, I entered all requested info and within one hour, I get a charge notification for the same amount on my second credit card. I messaged the Haley staff about the double charge and within 30 minutes, they responded to my message directing me to address the issue with Airbnb customer service. Their switch and bait tactic was disingenuous. Truly disheartening!

    This hotel is right in the heart of DT Santa Barbara. It's conveniently located to all the eateries and make it easy for you to walk around. The hotel rooms are cute, but super small. There isn't a working space for you to have your laptop up in the room, but they do have outdoor space for you to work. They have a large chess set and games for you to hangout in the courtyard as well. They offer some fruit and free coffee from 8-11am as well. 1-star less because the customer service at the front desk could've been a little nicer! Overall, not a bad hotel to stay in.

    I was skeptical to book this hotel based on the reviews. I went on to the website and noticed the booking was a little different in a sense you picked your room number. But learned it didn't matter what was selected, I got two completely different rooms. I had friends coming in from out of state and they loved it. It's a cute boutique hotel. Great location. Expect noise, you are by the busiest locations. I am sure they have had a lot of complaints since they do provide ear plugs. The grounds itself are nice. Staff is pretty much nonexistent, which was fine with me. Check in and open key app worked fine. I didn't mind that. The only issue I had was the booking rate. Wait last minute if you can. I booked three days before our stay. Price dropped drastically the day before. I called to get it adjusted and was told I could not cancel and I could not get a price adjustment m. I sent an email but received no response. So if you want to chance it, wait to book for the very best rate. I wish I would have waited considering I'm pretty local. Disappointed in their unwillingness to accommodate or adjust but I guess that's just business. Overall room was clean and in a great location with a great vibe. I'd stay here again.

    So we came here to bring in the New Year. It's a quick walk to State streets and that's where you have many delicious eateries and plenty of bars to go barhopping. They don't have parking but they have an adjacent parking lot that is next door.Parking, is $25 a day. If you have a lot of suitcases and tend to overpack like myself it kind of sucks because they do not have a hotel bell cart. I highly recommend that they get a couple. It will be a huge plus especially for families with children. The property itself is beach themed which I love. They also have plenty of activities outside to enjoy like a giant outdoor chess set, and various other games to enjoy. They also have a seating area with a fire pit table. Our room was pretty small but cozy and it had one of those faux fireplace heaters. It had hardwood floors .Our room did not have a closet but it did have hooks around the room where you can hang a few items. The bathroom itself is tiny and there is no sink in there. The sink is nearby just outside of the bathroom. The shower is a nice size and they do have full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was extremely convenient and my husband ended up using that instead of the one that we brought with us. Overall, a very great experience and thank you to Martha who ran the front desk. She was extremely helpful. In the bathroom they just gave us a minimum amount of towels but that was okay I did request more for the next day. The bed was super comfy and I had no complaints about it. The only complaint that I had was when I went downstairs to get some ice they had a huge freezer for ice. I did bring my little ice container that they provide and when I went to go get ice they only had barely enough to fill up my little container halfway. I do recommend that they get one of those hotel ice makers.

    Cool little hanging chairs, we enjoyed these

    Ok so I was almost going to give a 4 star but changed my mind after thinking about all the extras outside and how close it is to the restaurants and bars. Like a two minute walk...so to start with yes this is more a motel than a hotel, but it's re done and more like a boutique motel. The staff apparently leaves for the night so there isn't any real service if you need something so plan ahead. We did a self check And the key is an app u can just lit up to the door to unlock it, so no direct contact with anyone. There is a huge ice chest with ice, there are extra towels and cups around the outside if u need to grab one. There is a great ambience at night, a fire pit with seats (but closes at 10:30pm) a sitting area with a propane fire going. There games like connect four, chess, and honestly just hanging out there was nice after we got back from the bars. The rooms are a little small, but very comfortable and clean, for two people it's perfect. The rooms are a little pricey but you're really paying for the location and all the little things to do around there. Would def go back again if we choose to go to Santa Barbara in the future, but plan ahead I believe there's only like 15 rooms in the whole motel.

    Room #6; very comfortable

    We had a nice, quick 1-night stay in Room #6. Great location, just 1 block from State Street; walking distance to everything. Room had fun, colorful, beachy vibe, and nice touches like coffee, tea, and honey. The gal at the front desk said the air conditioning worked and was set to 65, but it definitely did not. Fortunately, it got cooler in the evening and we opened all the windows and door to cool the room off. Then slept with the windows open. Not too loud, at least when we were there. Would definitely stay again.

    Spider bites in Room 13
    Hrag Y.

    If you'd like to experience the biodiversity of Santa Barbara, I highly recommend Haley Hotel. Their rooms feature spiders in every nook and corner, and when you wake up you'll be refreshed and ready to go with a bevy of spider bites! After your stay, when you tell the management about the subpar conditions of the room, they'll attempt to only refund you a credit for a future stay and then ultimately give up on responding. Zero accountability is ingrained in the DNA of hotel management. Andie is terrible at his job and uncaring about your situation. This was one of the worst hotel stays of my life, I practically stayed at a roach motel with none of the amenities that were advertised.

    My husband and I just need a quick get away from LA and why not Santa Barbara .We came across…read moreHarbor House Inn through Yelp because they have such a good review compare to some other property and matter of fact we like it so much so we went back 2 weeks after the first visited. Location : Very convenient and walkable to a lot of restaurants.Which we love. Parking : If you stay on the queen suite side there are limited spaces but they do have permit for you to park on Bath St. as well but if you stay the other side of the property which is King suites.Those rooms came with 1 parking space per room. Rooms : First time we got room No.7 which was a queen suite.Man oh man that bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept on in a hotel rooms.The room came with full stove and kitchen utensils,Coffee maker and ground coffee.If you decide to cook yourself some food they pretty much have everything you need.The second time we stayed on the king suite side at room 118A. The front door facing the street,So it slightly noisy than the other side of the property.The room was spacious,Basically it's like a studio apartment.They have everything you need. Vibe : It's very clean property.One of the cleanest property I have ever stayed.Cozy warm,Charming.Overall such a lovely place. Staffs : Every single one of them were nice and friendly.Check in and check out process went very smooth.They offer you a free snacks in the office as well. We're already booked our next trip with them to celebrate our anniversary and 4th of July in Santa Barbara. If you looking for a place to stay in Santa Barbara.Come here to Harbor house inn.You won't be disappoint.

They have a garage that opens around 8 or 9 AM (they don't open it too early because the garage door is loud for guests) and has free stuff for you to use including beach cruiser bikes, beach lounge chairs, towels, beach toys, umbrellas, and more. The lobby has snacks (granola bars, bananas, orange, etc) that were accessible during their hours (they close at 9) as well as a water machine from which you can fill your aluminum water bottles from your hotel room. I liked how they didn't use plastic trash bags, no plastic bottles, and no plastic soap containers. It seemed that they were really eco-friendly. We interacted with 3 hotel staff members and all were helpful and friendly. They gave us a list of kid-centric things to do. We stayed in unit 8 which had a queen bed and a living room as well as a kitchenette. The kitchen had everything we needed and the tools were clean, new and orderly. The unit was clean as well. The palm trees in the middle of the parking lot are nicely lit at nice. The water pressure in the bathroom was super strong. I liked that the bathroom had a window as well as the kitchen. Some rooms have a small patio door in the back. From our kitchen window we could see plants and flowers. Outside of our room there were cute tables with lots of flowers as well. It's a great location and walking distance to the beach. The bad: We accidentally went a few blocks down from here to Harbor View Inn first and then realized our mistake. Two different hotels! The bathroom is on the small side. The interesting: The parking lot is small so they don't allow big trucks/vans. If you check-out before 7:30 am (like we did) then you will leave your keys in the mailbox out front by their office.

There was also complimentary breakfast that was delivered to our room. The only downside that I found was our room was underneath the staircase and could get noisy when trying to sleep in.

Kimpton hotels are very pet friendly and that always gets extra stars from me. They don't charge any pet fee or have size restrictions and if you ask them, they will provide food and water bowls for your stay. As someone who always travels with her dog, that adds a lot of value for me. This location even told me that, while I couldn't bring the dog to the restaurant on site, I could bring her to the nightly wine reception. I did not ever end up attending one but it's the thought that counts. The location was great. It was about a 15-minute walk to beach and we did walk to Stearns Wharf multiple times during our stay. It typically took us about 10 minutes to walk to one of the many restaurants in the area that we had decided to go to each time. There are lots of coffee shops, wine bars and places to eat within walking distance so we ended up leaving our car parked for most of our stay. I believe the valet parking was an additional $50 or $60 a night but you do get in and out privileges. We just found that we didn't need the car much to get around on our visit and in the time it takes to have somebody pull it out for you, you could have already walked halfway to your destination. The amenities are nice. They have a rooftop pool, fitness center and then their complimentary coffee, etc. I did not end up taking advantage of any of those because I travel with my dog, so I can't speak directly to the quality of any of them, but I know most people appreciate having extras like that. Our room was cute and comfortable and felt very cozy. It was honestly probably smaller than I expected for the price point, but it had everything that we needed and I was happy with my stay. If you need a pet friendly, walkable place to stay, and you aren't on a super tight budget, I would definitely recommend looking into this hotel.

Travis (valet) was our first point of contact and proved helpful with the car, bags and some insider beverage suggestions. We had a nice conversation too. Edwin checked us in, graciously and provided a full set of details including an upgrade to a suite. We used a credit card that offers "free upgrade" but you never know what that will mean. @ the Kimpton Canary it meant an extremely nice room. Large sitting area, with Nespresso coffee maker, refrigerator and large tv. The king size bed was in a room by itself overlooking the courtyard with fountain. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The bathroom has a separate shower, tub and toilet areas. Bath salts included. Robes and slippers in the closet. Amenities like AM coffee in the lobby or afternoon wine hour are nice to enjoy. The music is jazzy cozy heartfelt inviting. The decor is very chic, modern but not pretentious. Spanish tiles and colorful furniture. Service is a standout. A note in the bathroom said ask for what you need. So i tested it, asking for a lip balm by text and it was sent to the room. I also asked, Ingrid for a bottle of bubbly to be sent up with a birthday card to surprise my wife. It was delivered and made a grateful impression. A couple cookies and another note as well. Feeling extremely well taken care of here.

    Perfect anniversary stay -- peaceful, friendly, and right on the beach…read more We stayed at Santa Barbara Inn for our 25th anniversary and paid for the beachside view. It was absolutely worth it. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, and what really stood out was their text-based concierge system. They text you before arrival, and you can ask for anything during your stay -- they respond quickly and clearly. Honestly, that alone made the stay feel effortless. They even had the car ready before we got downstairs. It felt like having a pocket concierge. The view was fantastic, noise levels were low, and the beach is literally across the street, right at a crosswalk. We spent a lot of time on the balcony -- the room was large, the patio was generously sized, and we loved reading out there with the sounds of birds and seals in the background. Beds were very comfortable, the bathroom had great water pressure, and the jetted tub was basically a sauna -- a huge plus after walking all day. Free water bottles in the room were also appreciated. We ate at Convivo onsite -- it was fine, solid food, but a bit pedestrian flavor-wise. That said, there are so many excellent places to eat in Santa Barbara, and we walked to several without any trouble. Very walkable area for both beach time and dining. For car lovers: there's constant classic car and hot rod cruising along the beach, which was fun to watch from the balcony. It's not cheap, but it's reasonable for the location, room size, and level of service. If you're looking for a peaceful, clean, friendly place that's perfect for couples or a special occasion, this is absolutely the place.

Our ocean view room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. The outdoor s'mores were such a fun touch and the staff was mostly friendly. I was also happy the pool was open during our stay since it had been closed for renovations before. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back.

    Pros: 1) Across the street from the beach…read more 2) Great views 3) This Hilton Hotel has a Spanish look to it, much like Santa Barbara. Cons: We went for a wedding. But only stayed one night for the wedding. The other nights that we stayed were at another hotel in Santa Barbara. This Hilton hotel I'm giving one star more than the other because it is a Hilton. 1) Completely out dated. It looks like it's something out of the 90s. They can at least buy new furniture. The carpets smell. Everything smells very musty and old. The front desk when you check in is very small. We actually walked right by it because we didn't even see it. It was that small. For such a big hotel you would think that they would have a bigger front desk for their guest to check in and out of. For this to be a Hilton, they need to spend more money on renovation. 2) We could only stay one night because of how expensive it was. We were expecting a lot more for the price. When we entered the room, the linens smelled, and again the carpet smelled very musty. We called the front desk. It took them forever to answer the phone and when they did, they had an attitude about changing the linens. It took two hours for them to come to our room to change out the linens thank God they did because the second set of linens did not smell. 3) The staff all over the hotel were completely rude and aggressive. It didn't matter what department they were in. If this was a rundown Motel 6, then that would be one thing, but it was a Hilton in Santa Barbara facing the ocean. 4) When it came time for the wedding it felt great. It felt organized. I'm not sure if that was the Hilton staff or not. but I know that the catering was the Hilton and that was not organized and that staff was horrible and aggressive. For instance, taking your food while you're still eating. And giving you attitude if you say that you're still eating your dinner. 5) When it came time to use the downstairs restroom my wife stated that the downstairs restroom was filthy, and there was paper towels all over the ground. 6) Which brings me to my next point, this Hilton Hotel felt very understaffed. I could keep going, but the point is that my wife and I do love the Hilton family hotels, but this place is not the best Hilton out there. We will not be back.
