I would like to start by saying the location of this hotel is amazing. My wife and I booked this stay to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We arrived early and our room was not ready, which was completely understandable. The location is perfect, so there was plenty to do while we waited. For background, we booked our stay through Expedia. When our room was ready, we received a call confirming it and returned to check in. To our surprise, our room was not located on the hotel property, but across the street and a block away. While the room itself was nice, it felt more like a remodeled apartment than a hotel room. This separate location has no amenities and no on-site staff. If you want something as simple as a $7 bottle of water, you have to walk a block back to the main property to reach the front desk. If you want to use the hotel’s advertised pool area, you have to walk down the street in your swimsuit like anyone else who is not staying at the hotel. We were very disappointed and asked management why we were placed off the main property. It was clear this has been a concern for other guests, as management stated this issue has been raised before. When we asked if there was anything that could be done to move us onto the property, they were very firm that nothing could be done. We also expressed that the hotel’s website is misleading, as at no point are you informed that you may not be staying on the actual property. Unfortunately, management was less than accommodating.

The hotel is beautiful and in the perfect location! The only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is the room is nothing special and I had a deluxe room but our balcony was closed in and facing state street which was fantastic. This will be our new go to hotel for Sant Barbara. Great staff as well

the room was ok but i called before i got there to enquire about parking and i was told their wasn’t valet parking but there would be self parking available but the night we checked in they said self parking was available for a 30 a day fee so wasn’t too happy about this i think they could of informed me when i called , also this place offers no brunch and not even a coffee in the lobby or a bottled water they want you to purchase a bottled water for 5 dollars, i’ve stayed in santa barbara multiple times and this was my first time at this place i will not be returning again as i don’t think the price is comparable to the other places i’ve stayed in that offer more for less money . maybe they can supply a couple bottle waters in the room for their guests that just get in from a long drive don’t think that’s too much to ask for

We had a great stay at the Harborview Inn Hotel. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the grounds were well kept. The location is a huge plus—you’re right across from the beach and within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna, which were both nice and relaxing. The only downside was that the hotel buildings are split across from each other, so you do have to walk a bit to get to the pool. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay and a great spot if you want to be close to the beach.

We were not expecting to be located off site from the main hotel. We had to drive through a residential neighborhood to get to our building. There was ample covered parking. We got a room with a balcony with a "city view" which ended up being a view into the neighbors house. The balcony wall ended up being too high to sit and enjoy the view anyway. The mattress was just awful, too sucken in. We did not get great sleep. The ac vent was ill placed and blew in your face all night. The hot water was great and the room had plenty of room. The in room coffee was disappointing. In order to use the amenities, we had to drive back to the main hotel, getting back into the car soaking wet after the hot tub wasn't ideal. The way the hotel charged was off, at check in, they charged my card for about 80% of the bill and at check out I was handed a bill and told I would be charged the remainder which was way more than I was originally quoted,the man tried to explain in a very confusing way,and kept making mistakes in explaining and assured I would only be charge $80 more than quited for parking. We'll see what we actually get charged.
