It's the little things, sometimes, and Harbor House does it in spades! We booked a two night stay so there was a gratis breakfast basket waiting for us in our room--the homemade banana bread is just like mom used to make! The kitchenette is fully appointed with utensils, dishes, even a corkscrew. We found a full-sized coffee maker with tons of coffee and fixins, including flavored creamers. Our suite had a very comfortable bed as well as a pull-out twin which was a pleasant surprise. Harbor...

Somehow, they make this motel a 5 star experience. Accommodations are excellent. And staff is helpful. There are so many touches that take this hotel to the next level. I couldn’t recommend it more!!

The value for the price is excellent. The location is great and I love that it is pet friendly, however the only drawback to that is a garage can located near a side entrance door that also supplies the bags for pet dropping made it a bit stinky as you enter. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this for the value.

So many great things! The location was ideal and walkable to waterside and town sights, the rooms were clean with very quick attention to any minor problems, the staff was superlative (especially concierge Flore), and the free parking and free breakfast, with eggs, sausage, cheesy potatos, danishes, fruit, cereal, etc., were just bonuses!

The room was clean and the staff ( especially Lee) was very friendly and helpful. The happy hour and breakfast were great and it was nice to have free bikes to go riding around the neighborhood and waterfront. There was a nice pool, although it was too chilly for us to use it. The only negative is that the water had a sulfur smell.

Beautiful hotel the Moroccan atmosphere within the three buildings is resort like. The staff were all kind and professional. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. It was quiet and safe. There were several restaurants within walking distance. Just an incredible hotel. I can't say enough about this hotel, I will definitely stay here again when in Santa Barbara.

Had a really nice stay here. The location is convenient for
both restaurants and the harbour. Not cheap, but represents good value for Santa Barbara.
