A one-night stay probably doesn't give you a full impression of a hotel, but I enjoyed my overnight at the Mason Beach Inn. The property was clean and well-appointed, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was within walking distance of the beach, Stearn's Wharf and downtown Santa Barbara (not to mention the S.B. Amtrak station, where I arrived and departed). One bonus: excellent wi-fi.

Cute but annoying service

Charming hotel, great design/decor and location. Perfect for weekend getaway. Main complaint was that their cleaning team started at 8AM on Sunday morning up and down the halls, woke us up and it was hard to enjoy the second half of our stay, as there were no less than a dozen cleaning crew members in the hallways, in the lobby and all over the hotel (it's a very small hotel so it was perhaps more noticeable than larger hotels?) - we were stepping over vacuum cords, squeezing by multiple cleaning carts - etc. I wish they could have waited to begin their major cleaning service until late morning so that we could have had a peaceful morning enjoying the property and didn't feel like we were being rushed out.

Great stay

Stayed here for one night on our way to San Diego for Spring break. This place was amazing, really exceeded all expectations. Great service and very clean. Pool area was peaceful and relaxing. Quiet, pristine street that easily walkable to restaurants and beach. The king suite was really spacious and only slightly more expensive than the double queen. Will definitely plan to stay again

Great beds! Updated hotel…but a little noisy.

Very comfortable beds! Brand new/updated hotel! They could stand to offer some morning danishes with coffee in the morning instead of just cookies. There was an issue with walls nit being insulated enough to hear next door and hear the plumbing noises. Also dont love the extra charge if you want to check in early by 2 hours prior for $20 or $10 for one hr prior. Plus the $18 parking. Its an updated beautifuly designed and decorated room and the workers were very kind and welcoming.

This was a small boutique type hotel that was very clean and cared for. The hotel was set up to show guests they are special and that showed with nice additions as daily coffee, tea, snacks and complimentary welcome drinks. Bike and beach rentals. The location is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood half a block from the beach. Many dining options are just a few blocks away. We walked every day and did not need to drive anywhere. The parking is safe, easy and secure. No security issues. We also noticed there was not a lot of noise from other guests. It was a very relaxing stay and a great find. We will definitely stay here again.
