    Breakfast cooked to order
    Liz G.

    I'll start with the cons because there aren't many. I would've preferred a room with an extended vanity area since my husband and I shared the room and it would've been easier to get ready simultaneously. But honestly, the Eagle Inn offers hospitality and accommodations that many other places can't match. The staff there are phenomenal. From the front desk to the kitchen staff to the cleaning staff, everyone is hardworking, kind, and accommodating. Breakfast every morning was made to order. There is a coffee station and water station in the lobby 24/7. It's far enough from State Street to enjoy peace and quiet, but the hustle and bustle is a short walk away. We were able to walk to all the restaurants we wanted and to Stearns Wharf. There are also options to pay to check in early, check out late, or even stay an extra day. I would say the location of the Eagle Inn with its amazing staff at such a reasonable rate can't be beat.

    Wonderful place to stay in Santa Barbara. The stay included a complementary breakfast, afternoon cookies, and espresso drinks! We were very impressed by the dual shower heads and comfy bed. Short walking distance from the train station and Funk zone activities downtown. The front desk staff was very accommodating and made us feel welcome Would love to stay here again!

    Enjoyed my stay for the weekend. My husband and I decided to spend our anniversary in Santa Barbara and this hotel provided the perfect experience for it. They offer special little additions for your room which is a nice touch such as champagne and chocolate covered strawberries! Both were just right! The king room features a jacuzzi which is very nice to relax. Our room also had a fireplace and 2 tvs to enjoy from any angle. The rooms was very spacious with lots of room. They offer in room breakfast but in general the hotel offers breakfast options downstairs. You can also use their bikes at no additional cost. The gentleman at the front desk provided us with excellent service!

    We've been to Santa Barbara many times. Our stay at The Eagle Inn was just what we've been looking for! The service, The Hotel ambiance and location is A+. Their morning breakfast was first class! We will definitely be back!

    What a small romantic/intimate inn located right next to Downtown Santa Barbara and the beach. I stayed from Friday to Monday with a buy two get one free day stay. Our stay was magnificent and the staff did a great job with everything. I came late, around 9:30 pm and checkin was smooth and accommodating. I ordered a red roses addition for $40 and honestly it was fresh flowers, plus you get to take home the vase. We walked into the room with a nice birthday card and flowers pedals on the bed. Each stay came with complimentary breakfast every morning. It's not a buffet style but a ticket system which is redeemable for one plate of food. Food was sizable and very good amount for breakfast. You are served in a dining room setting but also can get breakfast room serviced with no additional charge. Location wise, there is so much to do because it's literally like a 5 minute walk to downtown. The beach/wharf is only a 5-10 minute walk as well. Lastly there was no issue with parking since they have a lot. It may fill up from what I've heard but didn't have any issues during my whole stay. Would recommend if you're looking for an intimate/romantic stay in Santa Barbara. It's a quiet inn and you can hear the neighboring rooms footsteps but I didn't think it was that bad.

    We had an excellent stay here. We came later in the evening and Peter was very helpful in welcoming our stay and giving us clear directions on checking in. Parking was already full in their lot by the time we got there, but there was parking right up front. (Make sure you read the parking limitations carefully). We had a large 2 bed downstairs next to the lobby. It was very spacious and comfortable With many sitting areas in there. I love that there are plenty of windows for sunlight to come in. There was also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. Breakfast the next morning was in a room with someone taking our orders. Each breakfast was individually prepared and was delicious. I loved the atmosphere in the dining room. There is also a sophisticated coffee/hot chocolate machine with coffee roasted from Beacon coffee, Ventura. There is also a purified water machine outside that can be used at all times. Bike rentals were free and included a basket and locks. They also had helmets if you need it. Katie was very helpful in helping us set up the bikes. There are plenty of bike paths in Santa Barbara. You can also bike to the zoo. I will definitely come back again.

    See all

    Ask the Community - The Eagle Inn

    Is your hotel gay friendly?

    Of course! We do not discriminate against anyone.

    Is it good to book on website or a different site?

    You will get the best pricing and amenities if you book directly with the hotel either online or over the phone: www.theeagleinn.com or (805) 965-3586

    Is there a pool?

    Sorry, we do not have a swimming pool on the property. There is an olympic size public pool two blocks away - Los Banos del Mar

    Is there a microwave and coffee maker in the room?

    Yes, all rooms have a Keurig coffee maker and a microwave. There's a mini fridge in each room too.

    Are the rooms quiet and does the railroad disturb your sleep?

    Not the room we had on the first floor. So LOUD! Heard every foot step up and down the stairs

    Is breakfast included in the price? What's it like?

    When you book directly through the hotel they include an amazing full service breakfast that they make to order. Each day they have a different menu. I've had huevos rancheros, crepes and yummy blueberry pancakes with bacon.

    Is there parking? During the week?

    Yes, they have onsite parking all week. We were told to park on the curb if the lot was full but in 4 days we never needed to.

    Is there an elevator? How about a gym on the property?

    Unfortunately, there is no elevator. Also, there is no gym on the property, but they allow you to borrow their bike cruisers and the location is a walkable community.

    Do they allow pets?

    Unfortunately pets are not allowed.

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.

    I really love Kimpton properties. I almost always have a great experience at them and if there is…read moreone available where I need to stay I book it without hesitation. 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.

    What an Amazing "boutique" hotel. The pleasant stay started…read moreeven before we arrived. A couple emails sent with excellent information about the hotel's amenities. 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.

    I was a little hesitant to book Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort after seeing the low Yelp…read morerating, but I'm really glad I went anyway. I'd give it 4 stars. 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.

At first they were only going to offer it during the week but when I explained that my Aunt is a teacher and wouldn't be able to go during the week, they spoke with dining management and said they could accommodate us on a weekend. Had some issues in regards to the reservation system with the wrong date initially scheduled, but when I reached out to Maria she rectified. We went to El Encanto on Saturday, Sept 27 for a 1:00pm tea service and it did not disappoint. Our server Lisa was excellent! She was attentive, professional and very kind. She really helped make the experience special. We started with a glass of champagne and beef wellington, flavor was excellent and the beef melted in your mouth. Our tea tray included a variety of desserts, all beautifully done along with some additional savory options as well. Everything we were served was delicious. We were also served warm scones mid way through service. We especially enjoyed all the different tea options they provided based on Zodiac signs, very unique. The view from the table in the dining room was spectacular. All the staff we interacted with were great. If El Encanto does bring back their tea service, I would highly recommend.

The pool was very nice and I enjoyed that they had food and beverage service. The first day we had dinner at their restaurant. It was okay, nothing to write home about. I was bummed that they no longer had their chocolate cake which everyone had raved about, but the custard ice cream was nice. Their breakfast menu was good. I had their omelet, breakfast plate and various side plates, enjoyed the various jellies they had and they fruit plate is excellent. I got a massage while I was there and it was wonderful, if you are thinking about getting one, go for the 90 mins, I kick myself for only doing 60. Overall, I'd stay there again.
