    comfortable bed
    tasteful decor
    disorganized check-in

    nice stay but some areas need attention

    The bed provided restful sleep, perfect after a long drive. The room had tasteful decor that made it feel cozy and welcoming.

    The check-in process felt a bit disorganized, which was unexpected.

    citrus honey bath products

    Ideal choice for a quick weekend visit in Santa Barbara with great value for the money. I loved the Citrus Honey bath products offered during my stay. Make sure to check out local dining spots for a real experience.

    great location
    delicious food
    uncomfortable pull-out couches

    My friends and I had an awesome time here! We loved exploring Stearns Wharf and even checked out the Santa Barbara Zoo. The location is great for grabbing a bite nearby, and the on-site restaurant has delicious food for any meal. Just a heads up, the pull-out couches aren’t super comfy, so maybe plan ahead if you’re using those.

    The pull-out couches weren’t the best. definitely not ideal for a good night's sleep.

    ideal location
    helpful staff
    well-maintained amenities
    cramped room
    outdated decor

    My recent stay at Montecito Inn was quite pleasant. The location is ideal for business purposes, providing easy access to local meetings and dining options. The staff was exceptionally helpful and assisted me with my presentation setup without any issues. Additionally, the amenities, including the business center, were well-maintained and facilitated my work needs efficiently.

    The room I stayed in felt a bit cramped and outdated.

    Charming stay with fantastic service

    I had a lovely time during my recent stay! The location is truly unbeatable, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff was exceptionally welcoming, making check-in a breeze. The room was beautifully decorated and offered a cozy seating area for relaxation. However, the room felt a bit cramped, which could be improved for more comfort.

    beautifully decorated room
    superb valet service
    lacking breakfast options

    I had a remarkable stay recently! The room was beautifully decorated with classic Mexican tile and offered a cozy atmosphere. The valet service was superb, giving us extra assistance with directions. However, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking, not as tasty as I hoped. I'd definitely choose this place again for the comfort and ambiance!

    Family with children getaway

    The staff was incredibly nice and went out of their way to help us. We arrived early and thought we would wait a long time to check in but they got us in super quick which was a blessing with a tired kid.

    It wasn’t cheap but given the service and convenience, it was acceptable.

    Exceptional staff and cozy vibes!

    Had a lovely stay! The staff was super friendly and went above and beyond. Loved the clean and quiet space. Also, the in-room breakfast was a nice touch! But, we noticed that the deluxe rooms could use some updating to match the higher price point. Still, it didn’t ruin our trip!
