About the Hotel

If you�(TM)ve ever wondered where Hollywood celebrities go to escape the bright lights, Montecito Inn in Santa Barbara, California, holds the answer. This historic property, built by cinema legend Charlie Chaplin in 1928 as a getaway for his closest friends, was a prototype for such retreats. Graceful domes, crafted ceiling coves, arched windows and French doors complement the property�(TM)s Mediterranean style. Take a dip in the pool, relax in your soothingly decorated bedroom or fireplace-adorned suite, and then meander to The Montecito Café for California Nouveau cuisine.

Disappointed

Reviewed 1 day ago

While the hotel is in a great location, I can’t say we were happy with much else. Some of the front desk staff were unfriendly that we felt unwelcomed and like an inconvenience to them (at check-in). We chose not to ask questions if certain staff were working. House keeping, valet and doormen were all nice. The room was not worth the price we paid ($395 per night with one night free because we booked for four nights). The room was of poor quality with awful pillows, toilet paper that was so cheap and thin, soap that really didn’t work well and damaged bed frame with old and chipped furniture. Their breakfast, which is included in the price, was made up of a few pieces of fruit (mostly bananas) and some pastries with coffee and tea. Overall, it felt like things were done as cheaply as possible while charging you the highest price possible because of the area.

Classic Stay

This charming, classic older hotel is a gem that has clearly been well-maintained over the years. The property retains a sense of timeless character while offering a clean and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and ensure a pleasant stay, adding a personal touch that you don't always find at larger, more modern hotels. The hotel's location is unbeatable—whether you're looking to explore the beach, Montecito, SB, or simply take in the surroundings, everything is conveniently accessible. While the amenities are straightforward and cater to basic needs, they are thoughtfully provided and contribute to the overall comfort of your stay. I stayed for a long weekend and found it to be an excellent value for the price. The combination of the warm hospitality, convenient location, and overall charm made for a memorable experience. I wouldn't hesitate to return and would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a cozy, low-frills retreat in a prime location.

Its a charming older hotel in good condition. The rooms, and bathroom, are a bit small, but the ambience is great and the location perfect. Parking is easy. They have a manual elevator; we used stairs to 3rd floor. Morning coffee and continental breakfast. Attached bar/restaurant was cool. Would recommend for a romantic getaway or quick visit.

A beautiful hotel in a great walking/shopping area with more great restaurants than I could count. If you are willing to accept some of the minor inconveniences that come with being in an older property, you will treated like royalty by the excellent front desk and helpful hotel staff.
