“Had a relaxed and very comfy stay in what must be one of the best locations & views in Santa Barbara”
+The location was perfect for us, just round the corner from the train station and right on the sea front by Stearns Wharf and the marina. We got the room that I hoped I'd booked (309) with spectacular views across to the wharf and beach. Spacious room and bathroom with both bath and shower. Plenty of hanging and drawer space and comfortable bed and seating. Good air conditioning and fan. Gym is small and basic but spotlessly clean with water, towels and hygiene spray plentiful. Pool small but served its purpose. Staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly wherever I came across them (reception, gym, pool, cleaning, maintenence etc).
−It would have been nice to have water provided to the room and fridge already switched on for our arrival. There was no kettle available on arrival but I was grateful to have one provided on request. It was lovely to have a balcony but it was so small that it was hard to sit in a chair without knees touching the bars. I looked with envy at the sun loungers on the balcony below but would not have liked to compromise our view to move down a floor! The recumbent cycle in the gym was broken for the 3 days I used the gym. Road noise was sometimes loud if we had the window open but mostly didn't bother us and we loved listening to the guitarist on the Wharf.

“Lovely hotel on a perfect location.”
+Location, location, location Direct opposite to Stearn Pier Adjacent to State Street Close to Amtrak station Across from West beach
−Checking in after a long drive, I asked for a bottle of water. Reception offers small or large bottle for $5 or $7 each. Not the best way to welcome your guests.

“Disappointing. Not coming again.”
−Vastly overrated and overpriced with awful balcony view, uncomfortable beds, poor noise insulation letting us hear neighbors bathroom activities, small rooms and essentially none of the comforts promised by th price tag.

“Excellent girls weekend trip”
+We stated in Building A facing Cabrillo St on the 3rd floor. Excellent view from our balcony. The room was large and spacious with a lovely large soaking tub separate from the shower. Location was excellent right off State St and with Sterns wharf write across the street. We walked to all dining and the Lobero Theater was a short, affordable, Uber ride. We loved that check out was at noon and staff were able to accommodate a complimentary late check out to 1pm. Staff were very prompt to provide extra towels, service at the poolside cantina was very friendly. Cabrillo street can be loud but the windows blocked all noise when closed.
−Parking is a bit tight with a full-sized truck but otherwise it was safe and clean. Since the bathroom was so large, a second bath rug would have been nice.

“Location fell way short of reasonable expectations from website.”
+The pool and fitness center were nice amenities.
−I had several options of hotels that were beachfront, and I chose the Harbor View Inn because of his proximity to the beach. However, when we checked in, we were sent to the offsite building which was about two blocks away from the beachfront making use of the pool, fitness center and Beach less than desirable. For $500-$600/night we expected more than a view of the Rusty’s Pizza parking lot with the loud music from cars parked in the lot. Property and staff were amazing but this offsite location should be marketed as a separate location. Very misleading.
