    The mattress was way too soft. The room could have been a little bigger. I always like it when there is a bathtub.

    We were allowed to check in a little early. The room was located where we were able to walk out the door and do many things. We rode your bikes every day we were there. The staff was very professional.

    Beautiful Hotel in Montecito

    Traffic on main street Montecito can be really heavy at times.

    Coast Village Inn is a very nice hotel with wonderful walking access to Montecito. The front office staff are very positive and helpful. Nice restaurants are in easy walking distance. The rooms are decent size, while the bathrooms are smaller. They have a nice swimming pool and there is a nice beach within 15 minutes walking distance. There is no breakfast but there are several nice breakfast spots within a few minutes walk. You can easily access all of Santa Barbara's wonderful sights via car with minutes.

    The rooms are a bit dated. There was no fan in the bathroom so the window was just perpetually open to air it out after showers. There also wasn’t a microwave, which is unfortunate because we would have loved to reheat leftovers during our stay. Also, it would have been nice to know what kind of shampoo and conditioner were in the dispensers. It was just a generic container but I’d love to know if it was sulfate free. I didn’t chance it and bought my own shampoo and conditioner. When we got into our room, it had a very strong chlorine smell. We assumed it was from being in close proximity to the pool. We didn’t mind it too much though, because we’ll take chlorine over other smells.

    We stayed in room 19, directly across from the pool and a short distance from the main office. Our room had two beds and was very spacious in comparison to other double queen rooms we’ve stayed in. The hotel is right on Coast Village Rd. in Montecito so you can walk to different shops and restaurants in the area. Access to the freeway was easy and there was a Pavillions and CVS nearby to grab snacks and other necessities. The pool was clean with comfortable lounge chairs and couches. We hung out there most days with our friends while our children swam. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are available in the office all day, which was so nice. The air conditioning was also top notch. We stayed very cool in our room!

    Disappointed that the reception staff were not more helpful when we helped ourselves to coffee in the foyer which was sone cold. Although she went to get some more, and said it would only be a few minutes, it still hadn't arrived 15 minutes later.

    Room was clean and much better than expected. Very comfortab;e.

    Traffic on Coast Village Road was difficult at times. Food, drinks and shopping in Montecito are all very nice... and priced accordingly.

    Staff was very positive and helpful. Rooms were nicely cleaned as often as you requested. Nice swimming pool. Free bike rental. Pool and beach towels are provided for your use. Great location to many walkable shops and restaurants in Coast Village Montecito. Butterfly beach is a 12-15 minute walk away and is beautiful (but no bathroom facilities.) Many other nice beaches (with facilities) are a 10 to 20 minute drive away.

    Unfortunately there was road construction underway during the day that was somewhat annoying but not overbearing. The room was a bit dark and there was a hint of mold / mustiness when you walked in the room... perhaps an update : to rid the rooms of carpet and go with another type of flooring .

    Location was exceptional and the stay was quiet and calm in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy access to quaint cafes and shops along Coast Village Rd. The beds were amazing and had a good nights rest. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Its a small and charming Inn located in a prime area , perfect for a few days of rest.
