Guest Reviews: "I am an event planner and needed 10 rooms on short notice. The Santa Barbara Inn jumped right to it, were extremely accommodating with some of the best hotel customer service I have experienced! My staff who stayed there had a wonderful experience, great rooms, great views and great hospitality! Thank you Santa Barbara Inn!" "We had an incredible weekend at the SB Inn! We blocked 8 rooms with Amanda and we were so happy we did! She was very professional and good about communicating with me. The service was top notch. We had a private dinner at Convivo for 16 and it was so delicious! Our server Tonio was amazing! We never had to ask for anything. He took such good care of us. There wasn’t a single issue while our group stayed there. We will definitely be back. Thank you!" "I spoke with Amanda Pheng, the sales manager about a block of rooms for a company awards trip and she was more than outstanding. She helped with not only the hotel stay, but with booking a wine tour and any questions I had regarding the trip. She always responded promptly and gave kind as well as extremely helpful information. If you are looking for somewhere to stay or are trying to plan a trip, I very much recommend reaching out to this hotel."
