Harbor View Hotel is very convenient to the beach and to a bunch of restaurants. The extraordinary thing about the hotel is the staff. They go out of their way to be helpful. We left something in the room which they found and called us and then shipped it out immediately. We were extremely thankful and shall return to the hotel!!

This hotel has a great location. All the staff are extremely friendly. We stayed at North Wing. It is very nice. Wonderful hallway. We had a room with double queen beds. The room is more spacious than normal hotel room. We would definitely stay at Harbor View Inn again next time we are back at Santa Barbara.

We stayed in the North annex part of the hotel! It was a lovely room with easy parking. Front desk staff, Reyna, was very friendly and helpful on arrival! Street noise not an issue! It easy walking to the harbor, Funk Zone, and Moxy! Could not have been more pleased with our stay and look forward to staying there again when we visit SB!

We really enjoyed our stay. Its a very good location and the staff is terrific staff (very helpful and sincerely nice). Room was large and we had a balcony that looked over the property and ocean. Nice spot to have a glass of wine before walking to dinner. Lots of excellent eating spots within a 10-20 minute walk.

Our new favorite vacation property. We'll be back!
We splurged a bit for this trip because it was a special anniversary, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The staff at check in and check out were friendly and knowledgeable. The room was spacious and even more beautiful than it appeared online. The property's proximity to shopping and restaurants made it the perfect home base to walk about town. The service was impeccable. The room was magically cleaned and ready for us each day when we returned, regardless of the timing. We loved the wood shutters and room décor. One of my favorite features was the air conditioning. It was practically silent. I'm a light sleeper, so that was a huge plus for me. It's so rare in hotels! We plan to return every year or maybe more. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay.
