There's nothing I can say that I did not like.

Location was great. we were not too far from the beach which was a bonus. Getting back to the hotel coming from downtown was a little tricky.

The hotel was located close to basically everything. We were able to go to all the places we planned with ease. The place itself was lovely, such a quiet and comfy spot! The staff were top notch, they were very helpful with everything single detail!

It is too expensive for what it delivers. The building is on the side of a central and noisy street and unlike some other hotels in the area its rooms are facing the road which means you hear the noise from every car and motorbike, not to mention the trains. The room is on the small side and could use a facelift. There is a bizarre odor in there. (An air purifier was placed in the room) Mattress is very soft and you sink in. The breakfast is all pastries and corn flakes, so pretty basic. Staff is relatively friendly. All of this would have been completely fine if this place wasn’t charging $275 a night. Walk towards east and you’ll find plenty of other options.

Location was very close to the beach and State Street where all the restaurants and coffee shops are. It has a nice fake lawn with seating that gets the afternoon sun, so it’s nice to relax there then. Parking was included which was great, so was the happy hour in the afternoon with coffee and cookies (and booze but we’re not big drinkers). Room was functional: It has a fridge, a coffee machine and bathrobes. The smell of the soap and shampoo that were provided was nice.

Nothing- just perfect

Hotel was beautiful. Lovely little touches. Lavender on bed, complimentary wine in fridge, cheese and wine in evening. Sister property had free bike rentals and laundry service. Would stay here again

The tenant next door repeatedly slammed their front door when leaving early in the morning. The building structure did not dampen the sound.

Convenient location: We were within walking distance to the beach and State St., but we enjoyed using the bicycles provided by the Lavender Inn. Ample parking spaces. The breakfast in the morning and wine tasting in the afternoon kept us nearby. We were initially hooked with the notion of lavender scent, and they provided a small pouch of lavender on our pillow at check in. The front desk even provided some earplugs when the tenants next door exercised some vigorous slamming of their door.

Warm welcome from the staff. Nice breakfast. Comfortable and quiet room opening onto sunny courtyard garden with lots of seating. Free use of good quality bikes during stay. Would stay again if visiting Santa Barbara.

Warm welcome from the front desk when we arrived, room was clean and in a good location. The welcome bottle of sparkling wine was a nice touch as well as lavender sachets. Nice selection of food for breakfast. The decorative lghts on the buildings exterior were charming

Not worth the price. We had to cut short our stay and look for another hotel. Have not received my money back!

I usually don't do written reviews, but this was by far the best Inn I've ever stayed at. Aron checked us in but what he actually did was being a tour guide telling us everything we could check out in the area, all while being one of the kindest human beings I've met. Then we got a free room upgrade and the new room was basically a flat including a fully equipped living room. In addition, they provide you with champagne on the house upon arrival, every single day there is a complimentary wine tasting with snacks, you can fill up your water bottle as often as you'd like free of charge all day, there is a really nice pool, and you can do laundry (wash and dry including detergent for four dollars) and rent bikes for free at their partner hotel across the street. I'm still speechless as they offer all this at a comparably really low price and everything is super clean, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the location js just perfect, no matter if you arrive by car or train, and the beach as well as downtown are within walking distance. Thank you so much for everything!

Good location within an easy walk of the harbour and State Street. The staff are welcoming and the complimentary wine and cheese happy hour and fresh cookies are lovely additions to the stay

Nothing - it all was wonderful.

Everything! The staff was so helpful and friendly. A bottle of sparking champagne waiting for us in the room? It was delicious with the complementary breakfast as mimosas that were enjoyed so much! Wine and cheese in the afternoon? I felt so pampered to sit and relax in the wonderful surroundings every afternoon with a glass of delicious sangria!

The smell in the room was terrible, maybe it is the old school carpeted floors? X__X The amount of money they charge for what it actually is, it’s pretty bad. The coffee at breakfast and wine at happy hour absolutely terrible. No, I would not stay here again.

The only thing could be the cold hard boiled egg at breakfast. I’d rather have warm/hot scrambled eggs but it is still not much of a big deal.

Very peaceful place with the beautiful garden, complimentary wine happy hour, small fountains, fireplace on chilly mornings and the kind, helpful staff. I got a queen room and it was very comfortable for me as a solo traveler. The room has a fridge, a coffee machine, and a microwave, which were really convenient for me. The housekeeping upon request works totally fine with me. They work really well as well. The assistants at the front desk are helpful and attentive. Many thanks to them. Many of the hotels here don’t provide breakfast so I am glad that breakfast is available. Overall, I loved it. Hoping to come back.

Great location.We were able to walk everywhere. The continental breakfast was ok and the wine and cheese happy hour was a nice treat. The staff was very friendly and had our room decorated with balloons for my husbands 70th birthday and a bottle of bubbly was waiting for us. We would definitely stay again.

strong chemical smell in room. shower water didn’t get hot enough. breakfast food was mediocre.

Stayed in April 2023

the walls were very thin, you could hear the neighbours so clearly through the walls. it would be good to offer earplugs to guests.

Loved the location of this property. It was close to the beach and the Main Street. You really don’t need to drive anywhere while at this hotel. Hotel staff was amazing as well!
