"The Pierpont Inn is a lovely stay. We had one of the two cottages and it was so cute! We had our own little patio and jacuzzi tub! The room was clean although it looks a bit worn. It would have been. nice to have a full length mirror in the room. The staff was nice and helpful. The hotel is a nice family stay."

Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"We booked this room 20 minutes before we arrived and what an AMAZING stay we had for such a last minute booking. Another local hotel had mistakenly canceled our reservation and we were in something of a bind as our friends were staying at this other hotel. We needed something local and this was a block away. The staff was so friendly! Our room was clean and beautiful (the color drenching was an excellent touch). Our bed was so comfortable. And the location was just perfect. Our friends were jealous and wish they had also booked here, the original hotel (the same price point) was not nearly as nice. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!"

"We had a comfortable stay at this value hotel. If you want somewhere just to sleep while not blowing your vacation budget, this is the place for you. The staff was friendly and check in process was smooth. The rooms are basic and there is no soap or shampoo provided but the room was clean and bed was decently comfortable. The ac worked great and the pool area looked very nice. There’s a grocery store, Starbucks and “99” cent store down the street."
