We’ve stayed at the Simpson twice and both times we’ve been blown away by the surroundings and the team who work there. The rooms are unique and the gardens feel like a haven. The staff make every effort to help you have a good time, shout out to Frank especially!

The unique guest rooms at the Harbor House Inn include a TV with premium cable film channels and a Netflix account. Select rooms include a kitchen. All rooms offer air-conditioning as well as tea and coffee making facilities.

The location is great, two minute walk to the beach, less than 1/2miles to the pier. The kitchen although small had everything you could need, pots, pans, dishes, salt, pepper, coffee, hot chocolate and even some butter, micro, stove top, small fridge w/freezer. The motel is old but very well kept up and clean. The bed is quite high, wife had to use a chair to climb in, but was comfy and had a ton of covers. I will try to stay there again next time in Santa Barbara. The courtyard/parking area w/seating and plants is compressed but extremely attractive.

    The hotel and location were very good. After a little hiccup with our allocated room ( problem with hot water out of both taps) and the room looking out onto a wall making it dark and gloomy ( one night would have been ok but three we thought….no) The staff were more than helpful and apologetic and moved us to an upgraded room which was wonderful . Rosemary Ann was particularly helpful and friendly it was lovely to meet her. No breakfast on site but nice restaurant’s within walking distance especially Jeannies.

    Great location in the heart of Santa Barbara. Lovely pool area and the heated jacuzzi was really nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The fire pits and lighting on the pretty terraces added ambiance on an evening. A lovely place to sit and have a drink. There isn’t a bar as such, but you can buy drinks in the reception.

    The staff at this hotel is excellent. We had some issues with our TV and Air Conditioning and someone came right away to fix it and Flor (the lovely concierge) brought a bottle of wine to our room for the inconvenience. The location is fantastic 2 blocks from the beach. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and our room was clean and tidy. Don't expect big rooms here but it doesn't matter if you are going to be out all day. Thanks Franciscan Inn :)

    My boyfriend and I loved this cute little inn for a romantic weekend getaway. There aren’t fancy amenities like a pool but we booked a king suite and it was a super comfortable, private, large, wonderful space for the weekend. We didn’t leave the lovely room much but for breakfast, champagne, cookies and other drinks downstairs! Super cute and I like the staff Lisa I think, with the black hair. She has a great personality! The shower was great, parking easy, food central location. Would come back.
