Harbor View Inn

Family stay, 2 adults and kids aged 17,15 and 10. Absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms were clean modern and super comfy. The location is brilliant, close to the wharf and beach as well as plenty of restaurants nearby. The pool was great too but unfortunately the pool bar was closed due to the time of year. I would highly recommend this as a place to what in the amazing town of Santa Barbara!

So my girlfriend and I had an accident while kayaking and needed to get to a hotel room to take a shower and regroup. We went to the Harbor View Inn to get a room. Granted we were wet--we were thrown from our kayak into the ocean--we were not homeless. We both feel that we were discriminated against when we tried to get a hotel room. Between the two of us we had no less than 10 credit cards including platinum cards and American Express. The guy at the counter said there was a two night minimum and began to find us a room when a woman came over and looked at us and told him something and then all of a sudden there were no rooms available. We both felt discriminated against. It was very obvious. We ended up renting a room just down the way from Harbor View Inn with no problems. We're leave this review because now that we're back home it's important for other Black people to know how we were treated when we went there looking for refuge. We had no problem paying for two nights even though we were not staying for two nights. We just needed a room right then to get over the traumatic experience we had in the ocean and collect ourselves. That's how desperate we were. We hope in the future employees here don't judge a book by its cover. We had more than enough money to pay for our room. We just looked a mess because we had been thrown into the ocean when our kayak overturned.

We stayed at Harbor View one night and found we wanted to stay longer. The location is great, right on the Cabrillo Hwy. The Ocean view rooms in building two have the best view looking over the grassy courtyard, pool, hot tub and then outwards to the ocean and marina. They did not have a restaurant on site but plenty of choices nearby. Rooms are large, well decorated and slept very well with either blinds for ventilation or blackout curtains. Our patio was spacious with loungers and a table. The bathroom had a private water closet and super large shower. All fixtures and appliances were functional and worked well. They do not have a valet service and baggage help was hard to find. Parking is on site and is an extra $32 a night. We will definitely be going back if we return to the area.
