    Wonderful place to stay in Santa Barbara. The stay included a complementary breakfast, afternoon cookies, and espresso drinks! We were very impressed by the dual shower heads and comfy bed. Short walking distance from the train station and Funk zone activities downtown. The front desk staff was very accommodating and made us feel welcome Would love to stay here again!

    We stayed here for Valentine's Day weekend and absolutely loved it. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the inn itself is beautiful, very vintage and charming with a thoughtfully antiqued style that gives it so much character. The bathroom was especially gorgeous and felt like a luxury experience. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and we really appreciated the free bikes available for guests. We took them along the bike path to the beach, which was such a beautiful experience and made the stay even more memorable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a romantic and unique getaway.

    I'll start with the cons because there aren't many. I would've preferred a room with an extended vanity area since my husband and I shared the room and it would've been easier to get ready simultaneously. But honestly, the Eagle Inn offers hospitality and accommodations that many other places can't match. The staff there are phenomenal. From the front desk to the kitchen staff to the cleaning staff, everyone is hardworking, kind, and accommodating. Breakfast every morning was made to order. There is a coffee station and water station in the lobby 24/7. It's far enough from State Street to enjoy peace and quiet, but the hustle and bustle is a short walk away. We were able to walk to all the restaurants we wanted and to Stearns Wharf. There are also options to pay to check in early, check out late, or even stay an extra day. I would say the location of the Eagle Inn with its amazing staff at such a reasonable rate can't be beat.

    Enjoyed my stay for the weekend. My husband and I decided to spend our anniversary in Santa Barbara and this hotel provided the perfect experience for it. They offer special little additions for your room which is a nice touch such as champagne and chocolate covered strawberries! Both were just right! The king room features a jacuzzi which is very nice to relax. Our room also had a fireplace and 2 tvs to enjoy from any angle. The rooms was very spacious with lots of room. They offer in room breakfast but in general the hotel offers breakfast options downstairs. You can also use their bikes at no additional cost. The gentleman at the front desk provided us with excellent service!

    What a small romantic/intimate inn located right next to Downtown Santa Barbara and the beach. I stayed from Friday to Monday with a buy two get one free day stay. Our stay was magnificent and the staff did a great job with everything. I came late, around 9:30 pm and checkin was smooth and accommodating. I ordered a red roses addition for $40 and honestly it was fresh flowers, plus you get to take home the vase. We walked into the room with a nice birthday card and flowers pedals on the bed. Each stay came with complimentary breakfast every morning. It's not a buffet style but a ticket system which is redeemable for one plate of food. Food was sizable and very good amount for breakfast. You are served in a dining room setting but also can get breakfast room serviced with no additional charge. Location wise, there is so much to do because it's literally like a 5 minute walk to downtown. The beach/wharf is only a 5-10 minute walk as well. Lastly there was no issue with parking since they have a lot. It may fill up from what I've heard but didn't have any issues during my whole stay. Would recommend if you're looking for an intimate/romantic stay in Santa Barbara. It's a quiet inn and you can hear the neighboring rooms footsteps but I didn't think it was that bad.

    We had an excellent stay here. We came later in the evening and Peter was very helpful in welcoming our stay and giving us clear directions on checking in. Parking was already full in their lot by the time we got there, but there was parking right up front. (Make sure you read the parking limitations carefully). We had a large 2 bed downstairs next to the lobby. It was very spacious and comfortable With many sitting areas in there. I love that there are plenty of windows for sunlight to come in. There was also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. Breakfast the next morning was in a room with someone taking our orders. Each breakfast was individually prepared and was delicious. I loved the atmosphere in the dining room. There is also a sophisticated coffee/hot chocolate machine with coffee roasted from Beacon coffee, Ventura. There is also a purified water machine outside that can be used at all times. Bike rentals were free and included a basket and locks. They also had helmets if you need it. Katie was very helpful in helping us set up the bikes. There are plenty of bike paths in Santa Barbara. You can also bike to the zoo. I will definitely come back again.

    The Eagle Inn Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Eagle Inn

    Is your hotel gay friendly?

    Of course! We do not discriminate against anyone.

    Is it good to book on website or a different site?

    You will get the best pricing and amenities if you book directly with the hotel either online or over the phone: www.theeagleinn.com or (805) 965-3586

    Is there a pool?

    Sorry, we do not have a swimming pool on the property. There is an olympic size public pool two blocks away - Los Banos del Mar

    Is there a microwave and coffee maker in the room?

    Yes, all rooms have a Keurig coffee maker and a microwave. There's a mini fridge in each room too.

    Are the rooms quiet and does the railroad disturb your sleep?

    Not the room we had on the first floor. So LOUD! Heard every foot step up and down the stairs

    Is breakfast included in the price? What's it like?

    When you book directly through the hotel they include an amazing full service breakfast that they make to order. Each day they have a different menu. I've had huevos rancheros, crepes and yummy blueberry pancakes with bacon.

    Is there parking? During the week?

    Yes, they have onsite parking all week. We were told to park on the curb if the lot was full but in 4 days we never needed to.

    Is there an elevator? How about a gym on the property?

    Unfortunately, there is no elevator. Also, there is no gym on the property, but they allow you to borrow their bike cruisers and the location is a walkable community.

    Do they allow pets?

    Unfortunately pets are not allowed.

Although checkin was not until 3:00pm, two rooms out of three we were available at 1:30pm to checkin. The room was clean as well as the bathroom. The white towels in the room looked very dingy though. Honestly those dingy towels including face towels need to be tossed and replaced with new ones. Although this hotel is walking distance to the beach I really prefer staying at a hotel with a pool. Note this hotel has NO pool. This hotel does have FREE parking. Which was a plus as one of our friends drove to Santa Barbara. The customer service we received during our stay was excellent. The breakfast snacks laid out in the morning was a nice touch. Especially if you want something light before you start your day. You'll find that the hotels in Santa Barbara are pricey including La Playa Inn. I don't regret staying here though because of the excellent customer service we received from staff.

We were upgraded to a suite which was wonderful. The room location was very quite, no noise issues. Plenty of room in the living room, bathroom and bedroom, a lot of charm. The rooms seem very clean and well equipped with a mini refrigerator Nespresso machine and robes. The only item missing oddly in the rooms are hotel luggage racks. We went up to the roof to see the pool, looked nice, it was empty due to the cooler weather temps in Santa Barbara during our stay. We did enjoy the "Wine Happy Hour" and the complementary Coffee station in the morning. There are ice machines on every floor and on the ice machine you can also get filter water for your water bottles. To note: it is a dog loving paradise at the hotel, dogs everywhere, big dogs little dogs, I love dogs so I had fun watching all of them. OK, so our only 2 criticisms are is the fee for parking per day $55... crazy! The second criticism is why can't the hotel spare space for a small gym? The hotel is affiliated with a Free 24 hour gym, "Key 2 Gym" which worked out great, BUT it's a 16 minute walk... a 1.07miles. Might not seem much, but I work out daily at 5:00AM to get it out of the way. Walking on State Street at 4:45 AM in the dark, when the only people on the street are the aggressive homeless does not make me feel safe at all. Other than those 2 items, we loved our stay!

The bed was very comfortable, the evening wine and cheese service was a nice touch, and the continental breakfast had a decent selection of pastries. There is a pretty courtyard in the front with comfortable outdoor furniture. Also, the room we had included a little kitchen with a stove and full fridge. CONS- Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives. The room had a damp, musty smell and the towels were rough and uncomfortable. The biggest issue was that the hotel was renovating the room directly next to ours. We endured CONSTANT construction noise and workers yelling throughout the day, and it continued well into the evening. My husband and I brought the issue to the attention of the front desk three separate times, both to daytime and evening attendants. Each time we were told, "I'll let the manager know." Unfortunately, we never heard from the manager, no one followed up with us, and nothing was done to address the situation. The noise continued for all the days we were here. We were not offered another room, an apology, or any form of compensation. Even a simple gesture, such as a complimentary bottle of wine, would have shown that the hotel cared about our experience, but nothing at all was offered. In fact we were told by the female evening attendant to "Contact your booking agency to complain". To make matters worse, one of the reasons we booked this hotel was the advertised back patio, but it was not accessible during our stay. If an advertised amenity is unavailable, guests should be informed before booking. If a hotel is undergoing renovations, guests should either be notified in advance or not placed directly next to active construction. Between the constant noise, the musty room, the unavailable amenity, and the complete lack of customer service and follow-through, this stay fell far below expectations. Truthfully, we would have stayed here again if the manager or staff showed any kind of care for the situation. I cannot recommend staying here.

    Perfect anniversary stay -- peaceful, friendly, and right on the beach…read more We stayed at Santa Barbara Inn for our 25th anniversary and paid for the beachside view. It was absolutely worth it. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, and what really stood out was their text-based concierge system. They text you before arrival, and you can ask for anything during your stay -- they respond quickly and clearly. Honestly, that alone made the stay feel effortless. They even had the car ready before we got downstairs. It felt like having a pocket concierge. The view was fantastic, noise levels were low, and the beach is literally across the street, right at a crosswalk. We spent a lot of time on the balcony -- the room was large, the patio was generously sized, and we loved reading out there with the sounds of birds and seals in the background. Beds were very comfortable, the bathroom had great water pressure, and the jetted tub was basically a sauna -- a huge plus after walking all day. Free water bottles in the room were also appreciated. We ate at Convivo onsite -- it was fine, solid food, but a bit pedestrian flavor-wise. That said, there are so many excellent places to eat in Santa Barbara, and we walked to several without any trouble. Very walkable area for both beach time and dining. For car lovers: there's constant classic car and hot rod cruising along the beach, which was fun to watch from the balcony. It's not cheap, but it's reasonable for the location, room size, and level of service. If you're looking for a peaceful, clean, friendly place that's perfect for couples or a special occasion, this is absolutely the place.

    I usually book at Airbnb when traveling to Santa Barbara for Fiesta. Well, this was one of the…read morerare times that booking a room at this Hilton, especially for a big event like this, was actually more economical. I booked a king room with sofa bed, partial ocean view. I checked-in through the app, but I was still required to check-in with the front desk so they can check IDs. There was a line of people waiting to check-in as there was only 1 staff member. But luckily 2 more came so the line went faster. I will say that patience can get thin after a day of traveling whenever check-in into a hotel, so I try to be aware of that when all I want to do is rest. The woman who assisted us nice. She did have to step away as my room type apparently required her manager's approval? But she disclosed that, so I appreciated that. And she explained all the amenities that were included with the resort fees. The app states water bottles, which are part of the fees, were available at the front desk. That's incorrect - they're available in your room and are replenished each day of your stay. My room was in the Camellia building and it was pretty quiet. Even the sounds of children screaming in the pool nearby weren't bothersome. The room was spacious and clean for the most part. Though, when we pulled out the sofa bed to check the mattress, it was really worn down. Barely an upright spring.. luckily the couch itself was comfortable to sleep on. I found the bed to be comfortable as well. And the bathroom was a decent size. I used some of the bathroom amenities and they were of good quality. And the shower pressure was good. I appreciate that there are two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one outside so there's privacy if the bathroom is in use. The closet space was standard. And there are a lot of drawers, as well as a decently cold fridge and a working microwave. The patio furniture was comfy as well. The tvs are a little outdated - they don't have internet access so you can't watch YouTube etc there. Speaking of internet access, it was troublesome connecting to the internet. My regular phone internet was frustratingly slow. I usually don't use public wifi, but I decided to connect to the hotel's wifi because I wanted to scroll through instagram. Well, I couldn't as the instructions on the paper key card holder didn't match to what info was needed on the login screen to connect. With that said, I don't recommend using the digital key on the app since there's barely a signal there. The other amenities we used were the free 2hr bike rentals (which the vouchers were a one time use) and the 2hr beach chair rentals. Only 2 beach chairs can be used per room, but it was still useful to have when watching the parade on the grass. We also took advantage of their wine tasting hour for HH members as well as their Sangria and S'mores Saturdays. Check with staff about the correct times as the posting didn't match the actual time they were holding that event. The only place where I bought food on the property was the cafe in the pool area. The staff members there work really hard in the heat to get the food out. I got their southwestern salad and it was delicious! The romaine lettuce was fresh and the dressing was flavorful. I also ordered a side of tortilla chips. The salsa verde was excellent, but the chips were meh. Better off going to Trader Joe's nearby to get tortilla chips. Though the rooms have been upgraded, the age of the property shows. Some of the sidewalk lights were rusted and/or knocked down. The security bar for the sliding glass door was wonky, which my dad fixed (cue in the Home Depot theme). But sitting out on the front lawn of the property in one of their swivel chairs overlooking the ocean melts every negative thought away. The property isn't far from the Funk Zone, about a 20min walk. Getting to the middle of State Street, however, can feel far if you're not used to walking. But I think booking this hotel as opposed to another hotel on State Street was worth it because of the proximity to East Beach. Btw, if you're not familiar with Santa Barbara, there are a lot of oil rigs in the channel. Some days there's a higher amount of oil in the water and that can put a sour note on your beach experience. Staff members at the hotel might not be aware of any natural seepage as there's not a specific advisory body (or at least I can't find one) about it. You can still ask them, but you should Google it, too.

    Pretty building, terrible follow-through. If you're paying resort rates, read this first…read more 1. Parking is a shakedown. $42/night to self-park in an uncovered lot next to the Amtrak tracks (trains run all night), plus a $40 resort fee on top. $96 to park your car for one night. 2. Front desk and room service don't pick up. Calls get routed to full voicemail boxes, then dropped. You redial and repeat the same dead end. For a "resort," this is embarrassing. 3. Shower/water pressure: weak and unpleasant. Not a minor gripe at this price point. 4. AC units sound like they've been running since disco was popular -- loud spin-up whir every cycle. 5. Pool area: trash everywhere, nobody clears it. 6. Room service is a rip-off. ~$170 for two kids' pastas, two entrées, and a glass of milk. Kids wouldn't touch the pasta. Mussels tasted like plain seawater -- hard to screw up mussels, and they managed it. 7. Ice machine is hidden like a scavenger hunt.

My room was right off the elevator and you could definitely hear some people walking to and from, but honestly pretty quiet. The ice machine was across the hall and that could be noisy but I only heard 1 person getting ice my entire stay Cons: - I can only speak for the room I booked 314, but the shower was a stall with the dreaded flappy shower curtain. If you're uncoordinated (like me) or big and tall, you will definitely feel the slap of that wet curtain on your body while showering - So the showerhead was actually leaking, spraying water above the showerhead onto the ceiling. It not worth my complaining or changing rooms, so I never said anything, but the last morning, before I checked out, it miraculously stopped spraying water. - If you're sensitive to city noises I suggest opting for a room that overlooks the hotels parking lot, away from the street. Our room faced the street right above corner on State Street and Haley, and even being on the 3rd floor, we definitely heard some night life noises - Expensive! This was on the pricey side but, due to location. I thought it was definitely worth it - The hotel is definitely older, but they worked hard to renovate it. It's not just a motel with a facelift - No pool, but the beach is just a 15 min walk away Tips: - Definitely sign up for the Hilton honors app, it'll make it easy to check in and you can pick your own room, get room key access, and check out, etc Would I come again? Yes

    Great location and clean hotel. Expect no real common space, amenities, or food options but you…read moreare just walking distance from State Street so there are much better options than what the hotel can offer. Impressed by the hotel staff and valet staff - everyone was helpful and hospitable.

    If you didn't already know, this place is wonderful. The service is excellent from the valet to the…read morefront desk. They are so enthusiastic and helpful. This was our first time there and it was truly a treat. Angel helped us at the front desk and he was so nice. He explained everything so clearly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. I wish I caught the valets names. They helped us so quickly every time. Very nice people and always quick to assist us. The room was beautiful and so peaceful. This room was perfect. A small waterfall was right outside but we couldn't hear anything unless we opened the windows. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The flowers are beautiful. The lily pond is so picturesque and gives the most relaxing vibes. The pool is perfect but the chairs are taken fast so I suggest going early. Food and drinks are available to order there. One person from our party got a massage and loved it. The sauna and shower amenities were so wonderful. A definite full spa day was needed for our birthday girl/retiree. The perfect place to celebrate and relax.

    THEY LOST OUR GUESTS CAR KEYS AND HAD TO DRIVE THEM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!…read more Definitely not 5 star. Tuesday August 11th around 6pm - a dead night. Invited important investors of ours to dinner at el encanto, a place we have been going to as locals for the past 15 years with no issues. On arrival the valet made us wait forever while they moved -one car- to put a Milpas motor Porsche into its place. Then we waited again, they had 6 cars just sitting blocking the entrance so we walked up the driveway to meet our guests. Meh not that big of deal... -UNTIL we needed to leave- Same cars sitting since we arrived, blocking entrance. We stood forever waiting for the (likely ucsb children valet drivers) just standing there chatting in a corner while we were waiting forever to bring our car, looking at us like we were crazy. LONG after our guests gave their ticket to the valet, they made our guests wait longer while being rude to us for becoming impatient. And best part?!?!? THEY LOST OUR GUESTS CAR KEYS AND HAD TO DRIVE THEM HOME!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, worse experience at a so called 5 star hotel. Definitely NOT 5 star. Edit: DEFINITELY NOT 5 STAR FOR NOT FINDING THE KEYS!!!! Our guests have been calling and calling the valet manager this morning for their only car keys to go to work (we had hoped they'd find the keys through the night) or at least called to apologize, but nope - our guests are having to chase up the manager who isn't calling back. What a joke of a hotel. There is absolutely no excuse to not call a customer you wronged
