Before I booked this hotel, I checked the reviews here on Tripadvisor. One user noted that he was ultimately disappointed with the look and feel of Beachside Inn after passing by more aesthetically pleasing neighboring hotels such as Oceana and Habor View Inn. This user certainly hit the nail on the head! Compared to its neighboring hotels, Beachside Inn was... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in April. The room was located near a hallway, near the elevator and stairs. So it got quite noisy at times. The room was nice as it looked like it had been remodeled, except for the bathroom. It looked like they tried to remodel it, but it just didn't happen. There were... more

I just returned to my home in NYC from a long trip to California. I stopped in Santa Barbara for a night on my way from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I was looking for a comfortable, clean, budget hotel, and that's what I got- plus more. Check-in was easy & the free parking was convenient to my room (#102)... more

After walking by the Oceana and West Beach Inn, we were deflated to see the industrial look of the BW. Our room -108 - was next to the pool gate, and the room not very sound proof. We were out... more

We were looking for a quick night in Santa Barbara and came across this hotel for less than $100. We didn't expect much more than a quick crashpad. We were pleasantly surprised. This room had a very nice living room area with a seperate bedroom. Both rooms had very large Flat screens TV with many channels of cable. It was... more

The building is a little dated, but the rooms were up to date and quite clean. The nice part of the hotel is that is it right along the pier and the central part of state street is only about 10-15 minute walk, about 10 8 blocks away. the price was good and there is a small park across the... more
