We very much enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Inn. We loved being close to the ocean and going for walks along the beach. It's also close to a number of nice dining places and State Street, the downtown part of Santa Barbara with a number of fun shops as well as the art museum. The hotel offers a great breakfast, likely the best of any hotel I've stayed at. It was so nice to stay in a community that respects the environment as for once the tableware wasn't plastic. The staff was very courteous. Our room was nice. I would go back.

No sound proofing between adjacent, door-sharing rooms. Bathroom absolutely needs updating. Mattress seemed old and too bouncy. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was great. Location is the selling point of this hotel.

Well things did not start well at all. We arrived after driving from San Fran and whilst we were a little early and got told our room would be ready at 4pm, once we got back the front desk was rude and said the room wasn’t ready and could not give a time on when it may be available. I asked when I should come back and she said ‘I don’t know, it’s not my problem, it’s house keeping problem’ and that I need to come back later. After waiting another hour we went back and the front desk lady was just as rude and didn’t explain anything about the place and just took my deposit and gave me a key. After getting to the room, we were missing pillows and blankets for the 2nd bed. I asked the lovely house keeping staff that were walking around if I could get another pillow and blanket which they seemed more than happy to help with until the lady from check in came past and told me to go back to my room and the items would be delivered. The housekeeping staff were great but once again the rudeness of the lobby lady was appalling. We will never stay here again and can this has to be the worst customer service we have had in our entire 4 week trip throughout the USA. Highly disappointing and would not recommend.

We stayed at the Beachside Inn for New Year’s Eve during our California family road trip up the coast. Great location and very welcoming staff. The Happy Hour complimentary wine and cheese from 4-5 p.m. was a nice treat. Lots to see and do in the area. All amenities, including State Street (closed off for shopping and dining) were within walking distance. Our room was clean and spacious. The only issue was that the pool wasn’t heated, which was a disappointment for our youngest who loves to swim. Overall, would highly recommend!
