This is a hotel located just across the street from the beach and it is very affordable! It has a retro charm - it's clean, quiet, and everything was comfortable. You can walk to restaurants and there is a heated pool! It doesn't have all the latest updates or a bunch of frills - but it is more than comfortable. Fans are included in each room and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

The hotel location is a 10. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we were able to upgrade to a nicer room. My only disappointment was the extra $50 per night in fees and the $33 per night parking charge when there was ample parking and we parked ourselves. This should definitely be included in the cost. We literally spent $80+per night extra than we expected.

We loved the old mission and spend a lot of time in the hotel.
I didn‘t like the pier. Everywhere were cars and parking lots instead of nice sitting opportunities. there were a lot of homeless people, too.

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!!
Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
Great place to visit, especially with wonderful weather.
For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.
This is a great hotel to stay if you are visiting Santa Barbara. The hotel is located quite close to the beaches and other attractions. The hotel also offers free parking.

~ relaxing place, quiet and peaceful
~ one of the best hotels in California!!
This is a very cool Very old house with a lot of character. It is in the montecito hills- surrounded by billionaires mansions. The price you are paying is ridiculously low, significantly cheaper than the next option in Santa Bárbara (motel 6). Staff was nice. Garden was cool, though a work in progress still. Overall it’s not a luxury experience but I would definitely come back bc it’s cheap and interesting and comfortable enough.
This Motel was the best place we stayed on a 3 week trip. Its in a perfect location near the beach, marina, and the Main street of Santa Barbara. The staff were all lovely, really friendly and helpful. They put on a really lovely continental breakfast included in our stay with pastries, cereal, tea, coffee, juice and bagels!
The rooms were lovely fresh, clean and comfy. We wish we had stayed longer!
This hotel was the PERFECT place to stay for my first visit to Santa Barbara. It was right on the beach, had beautiful views from our room/balcony, and it was walking distance to the pier, State Street and tons of amazing restaurants. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We said it over and over again that when we go back, we have to stay here again. It was perfect!
The reception process was easy and very friendly. The hotel is located on Union Street, the main street of that wonderful town Santa Barbara. It takes approx a 10 minute walk to reach the lovely atmospheric restaurant part of Union Street. You will find a great choice of restaurants and sights on that street. The beds were comfortable and clean. We got a nice breakfast.
The property is not centrally located to downtown Santa Barbara but for adventurous walkers it’s a nice 1 hour stroll to the wharf. Alternatively the bus system is easy to use, cheap and a stop is located right outside the hotel. The restaurant on site had great pizza and drinks and the central courtyard was a beautiful place to spend the evening.
I loved the location! Just 10 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They greeted us with a bottle of wine and a room upgrade for our anniversary! I also really appreciated how dog friendly they were. Awesome accommodations! Highly recommend! We will be back! Thank you, Leta Hotel!
The Jacobsons!
The location was very central and easy drive to downtown Santa Barbara, the beach and even Costco😄. We enjoyed our visit, my children loved the area and the inn. They said it was fancy. They loved the hot tub and pool. I loved the gardens, the smell of jasmin as you walk along the path towards Terra. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.
his hotel is in a great location - dead centre of Santa Barbara - lovely older style property in great condition and in keeping with the neighbourhood - bars, shops and restaurants all within a minute from the front door of the hotel - staff really friendly as well. Would recommend
Location is excellent, near the beach and a number of great restaurants nearby. Room service food was the best I've ever had! The rooftop pool and hottub were amazing. We spent most of our time there and loved every minute of it! Our room was spacious and very quiet.
Hotel is super clean and has courtyard with comfy seating area to relax reading books or afternoon tea. Great location, walking distance (only 2 blocks) to Santa Barbara harbor, Maritime Museum, waterfront and all those nice seafood restaurant. Free parking !!!
We had the two room suite which was very reasonable in price, and was great for a relaxing getaway. Location is good for walking around Santa Barbara including the wharf and downtown areas. Good restaurants nearby too.
The architecture of the hotel fits nicely into the post colonial architecture of Santa Barbara. The rooms are standard, but there’s nothing to complain about them. the staff is friendly. The lobby facilities are good.
A very modern hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara, within walking distance of bars and the promenade, while a little away from the bustling central street. The staff is very friendly and helps with all questions.
loved the Californian - honestly came from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara it was like a breath of fresh air !! chalk and cheese - anyway great hotel - good food nearby - great everything ! will come again !
The motel was a quick drive to the vibrant downtown area of Santa Barbara. The hotel was exactly what we needed, and affordable and comfortable space to stay over night.
The property is very close to the beach but not so much to downtown of Santa Barbara (by foot). A part from that it is a very quiet touristic area with a lot of hotels.
