Lavender Inn by the Sea

Nice breakfast

Old property so there is some sewer smell in bathrooms but money wise and location wise it is a good deal .

Staff were amazing, Aaron gave us a great welcome and was very helpful. All staff were very nice. Loved the room, breakfast and happy hour. We really appreciated the upgrade, it made a big difference. Great location. Only, one thing I thought the pool was going to be heated did not feel very warm! We will definitely come back. Thank you, Susanne Sherry

The Inn is about a 10 to 15 min walk to State Street and Stearn’s wharf. Aaron at the front desk was very pleasant at check in. Our room was clean and staff were kind. My wife and I chose to explore for breakfast and decided on Jeanine’s which was excellent! The Lavender Inn continental breakfast would have sufficed. There was ample parking on site. I would recommend exploring further south for nicer beaches. A trip through the Santa Ynez mountains to Solvang is a great take for a Danish touch. A lot of shops, restaurants and bakeries. Public restrooms are near the two free public parking lots.

A beautiful inn that was a close walk to the harbor and lots of restaurants. The complimentary happy hour with wine and snacks was appreciated after a long drive. The continental breakfast had lots of options. Our room was nicely decorated and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved the outdoor seating area for evening happy hour

Nice cozy room and the bed was comfortable.

Quaint (meaning older) property. My room was clean and I appreciated the wine & cheese in the afternoon. Continental breakfast is included. It’s located north of the pier, within walking distance

Lavender Inn has a great location. The room was clean and the staff extremely helpful. Not a fancy place but odd that there was no streaming available on the tv. It was nice but we won’t stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Super cute and cozy. Breakfast, wine time and a cookie at bed time was a great treat. Most importantly it was clean and the staff very friendly. We are looking to book our next stay already☺️

the marina and beach. Within a couple of miles of restaurants, bars and nightlife. Would definitely stay there again.

A couple of suggestions: less furniture in rooms, makes it a bit crowded and covering the clear window part of the wall around the pool so area can’t be easily seen from sidewalk.

We enjoyed everything about this hotel.

Staff was helpful and location is central enough for me to get my steps in!

Beautiful property and great location. The breakfast with great and the afternoon wine and cheeses was awesome. Would totally book again. Bonus was the bike available for guests.

The rooms are clean, but can use a little update. It would be nice to have water bottles in the room.

Excellent service. A must lodging location in Santa Barbara. Highly recommend it. Will return. Mikey and Divana were really helpful. Enjoy my stay.

Very good location. Location of the A/C in the room was not the best and trying to redirect the air flow was very restricted.

The property is and could use some TLC. Front desk staff and friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was amazing.

The staff was friendly and the pool was very clean. As for dislikes, the pool towels were usually empty and there were several ants in our bathroom (seen several times). Our main complaint is that this was booked as a Queen bed and the bed in our room was only a Full size. It was very uncomfortable sleeping for two people. We have a Queen bed at home and there is no problem. We asked to move, but were told that there was no availability. Considering what we paid, I was disappointed.
