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!

This reasonably priced hotel provided all the services one would expect from a 1st class hotel: Easy booking, easy check-in/check-out, clean and comfortable rooms, quiet, very good housekeeping, professional and competent staff, and located in Santa Barbara for navigating the area. Only two quibbles: 1) No inhouse dining (but that is OK since there are plenty of areas to eat close by), and 2) The parking fee, like all hotels these days, is outrageous ($32/night).

Nice

Great area near the beach for daytime fun, and the Funk Zone for nighttime fun. Easy walk to State Street shops and restaurants. Nice hotel, though our wing was separate and across the street from the main hotel. Tried to use the jacuzzis (there are two), but they were both barely warm, which was super disappointing. Staff very helpful and friendly.
