I booked this Inn because it was on the Main Street right across from the beach at 28 Cabrillo. When I checked in I found out I was staying in one of their properties that was NOT at this address/location, but instead at Mason & State street! I would never have paid the high rate if I had know I would not be on the main property that is essentially oceanfront. Room was nice but disappointing to be in a room at a separate location!

First time stay. Sometimes you hope that what you read and see online will meet expectations. HarborView exceeded those expectations. Quiet charming hotel rooms, great pool. We dont get to SB much, much Harbor View is at the top of our list even though we commonly stay at one of the largest national chains. We were 6 adults in total including two over age 80 who found the hotel convenient given their limiting walking abilities. We will return.

Wonderful 1 night stay on our PCH road trip! We stayed in the North building of this hotel complex, which was furthest from the beach but still only 2 blocks away. We parked in a private garage on the lowest level, with a convenient elevator to our room. This is the newest building, and lovely In appearance. The decor is beautiful, and our room was clean and spacious with all modern amenities including a Keurig and a spacious waterfall shower. Our hotel was within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and the wharf. We especially enjoyed our breakfast at Jeannine’s which was a short walk from the hotel. The pool was a little underwhelming, not as nice as the website pictures, and the lounger cushions are in need of replacement. And we did have to pay for parking. But all in all, we had a very nice stay.
