Wonderful! This is a beautiful hotel. The location is excellent…close to restaurants and shops. It’s a 15 minute walk to State Street pedestrian walkway, full of restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the ocean. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The bottle of sparkling wine was a nice touch. A complimentary wine and cheese every afternoon was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with lots of options and great coffee. All the staff we met were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this lovely hotel. _

Our personnel favourite :) You have lots of choice of hotels but this little gem was a great find. The rooms were not very big but were adequate for what we needed. What made this a bit special (this was the 6th hotel on our US road trip) was the friendly staff (couldn't do enough for you), a nice touch was a happy 2 hours with free wine and sangria and snacks served in the small area at side of reception. The breakfast was also a delight after too many American sized breakfasts, serving continental style and free with the booking. The pool area and fantastic seating areas made meeting people easy. This was the best hotel of the 9 we ended up staying in. Thanks

Lovely inn I highly recommend the Lavender Inn By The Sea. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the staff (especially Lee at the front desk) were friendly and helpful. Providing free bike rentals was a big plus. We didn't use the pool because it was a bit too chilly but it was a good size and was heated. The harbor was walking distance-we walked there for dinner one night. Also, we enjoyed the happy hour with free wine and snacks. The only negative thing was that the water had a sulfur smell, which I reported to the front desk when we left.

Perfect Super cute little room with enough space for 5 people! A make-up area and super nice bathroom ( but the door was not closing properly) . The atmosphere was relaxed and classy ! A little wine and cheese for the parents ... next to the beach... bicycles included ... so we did a really nice family bike ride ! It was just perfect _

Fantastic spot a short walk from the Harbor and State St, We stayed at another property in Santa Barbara and were disappointed we weren’t able to go back to the same place for this trip. But boy, did The Lavender Inn ease any concerns and has now topped the list for our favorite SBA Hotel. From arrival to departure, The Lavender Inn just hit the nail on the head. Complementary Happy Hour in the afternoon, with wine and nibbles. Complementary bottle of bubbly and water in the fridge, awesome staff and relaxing tables / outdoor furniture outside the room and a lovely heated pool. It was everything we needed for our short weekend getaway.
