We booked this hotel as part of our road trip from San fran to San Diego and were hugely dissapointed. The hotel is really just a series of joined up motels on the ocean front boulevard. The hotel looks like a motel, it's been nicely decorated but it is very dated and a bit grim. The room was so noisy... More

I've stayed at this hotel a few times now and i have never had a bad experience. Rooms are a bit "older" but kept in good shape and work perfect with the concept of the place. Probably the best thing this hotel has going is its location. I would say they have the perfect spot in Santa Barbara. You can... More

First of all the continental breakfast is fantastic! Great bagels, great coffee, fresh juice in a lovely room with nice light. Also, the staff is kind and accommodating. I can't say enough nice things about how lovely the staff treated us. They made us feel like we were welcome. The rooms were clean, bright and lovely, but small. This is... More

We very much enjoyed this Inn. The staff was wonderful and accomodating. The location is perfect and our room was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. We had a great location for our room.

The beds and pillows are comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is pretty good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As with most hotels in... More

The Oceana is the best hotel in Santa Barbara. No other hotel offers a better location or such great amenities. The Oceana is just steps away from the beautiful beach, the pier and State Street! The view from our Ocean Front Rooms was a wonderful thing to wake up to each morning. I enjoyed reading my book each afternoon by... More
