Inn at East Beach

This Inn is in a wonderful location, easy to walk to the beach a block and half away. The pool area and two patio/lounge areas are nicely kept up and furnished with nice furniture. The room, as well, is nicely furnished, bed comfortable.

Breakfast options - great - soggy but delicious Location - amazing - cost was pretty good The beds were comfortable - I liked that they have standing fans in the room!!!! Shower was gorgeous Patio was really nice!! We had the very first room and so I was able to get my kids in and out of the room and our luggage very easily!! We could see the beach from our little patio!

Perfect location, 5 min walk from East Beach. We've stayed in a few of the lower price hotels / motels in SBA and this one was by far the best to date. Great value for money, clean room - with a nice fireplace, which we used as it was a chilly evening. We normally stay in the Harbor area, but flipped things this time and walked from East Beach to the Harbor and back - which is just about perfect along the beach.

Pool area nice and clean, just like the room. Room was silent. All receptionists were very friendly. No breakfast available but free coffee and pastries and apples are provided at the reception. Bus stop close by to go downtown (approx. 20-30 min). Gas powered fire place provides coziness in the room. And there was a small balcony.

I really like this beach motel. There are many types of rooms - some with kitchen and fireplace, some with balcony, some without, they’re all cute and airy. This is our third time staying here in a month and it doesn’t get old because we got different rooms. Location-wise it’s walking distance to the beach. This time we got room 129, a King suite with a kitchenette and fireplace. The problem with this room is that it has a porch that faces the west, so it gets the hot afternoon sun - not the best in the summer but perfect in the winter. That said, we were there on a day when it was 85F, and by the time we went back to the room it had already cooled to the 70s. With the fan on and windows and door opened, it got cool fast and was comfortable enough to sleep within 15 mins. The little kitchenette comes with a keurig coffee maker with caffeinated and decaffeinated pods, bowls and plates and mugs and even wine glasses for 2 people. The people working at the front desk are wonderful, from the girls in round glasses who checked us in to Amil who told us about Chad’s for a nice brunch place. I love sleeping in fresh air, but the king bed is comfortable. If you get a room with a porch/balcony, bring some wine to enjoy on the porch in the evening. I love this place. It’s got character, is very clean, and has a strong beach vibe. To me it embodies the best of Santa Barbara, fresh air and sun and nice people.
