"What a gem! If we find a reason to be in Santa Barbara again, we will come back! The only reason for the 1 4-star rating had to do with our front door. The door latching mechanism was not secure - it required a few really hard shoves to really get it closed. Everything else was amazing from check in to good night of sleep to check out. Thank you!"

"We had a great stay at the Harbor View Inn. We booked a City Room, 1 King Bed, Balcony, City View. Pros: Our room was a fantastic room. Although a little on the small side, it seemed to be remodeled recently and we enjoyed the newness. The bathroom was also on the smaller side but very nice. The shower provided a nice showering experience, which I love after a long day of sightseeing. Cons: There was no view of any sort. Our balcony looked directly across the street into someone else's room....
