About the Hotel
If youâ€(TM)ve ever wondered where Hollywood celebrities go to escape the bright lights, Montecito Inn in Santa Barbara, California, holds the answer. This historic property, built by cinema legend Charlie Chaplin in 1928 as a getaway for his closest friends, was a prototype for such retreats. Graceful domes, crafted ceiling coves, arched windows and French doors complement the propertyâ€(TM)s Mediterranean style. Take a dip in the pool, relax in your soothingly decorated bedroom or fireplace-adorned suite, and then meander to The Montecito Café for California Nouveau cuisine.

Historical Hotel
Very comfortable bed! Old-time 1920's charm and notable history. Centrally located to Montecito Coast Village Road shops and restaurants. Spacious hot tub and nice pool. Reasonably priced accommodations for this iconic hotel. I wish they had other dining besides sushi. I wish there were a full hot breakfast

Could have been different,,
The room was very nice,but drapes had to be closed at night by staff because of an electrical error,, do not leave bag open,,I had a beautiful scarf stolen from a suitcase,,, You have to ask for complimentary water,no matter how much you pay,,front desk staff was pleasant staff

Not as nice as expected
We are aware it is an older hotel with history but the rooms are not as nice as they look in pictures. It feels old and you can hear people above and outside to the point where it woke us up in the morning. (Our room was on the street side) Bathrooms are outdated too. Our shower hurt and felt like a motel shower. It just definitely wasn’t what we expected for the price point. The location is what you pay for I guess! Staffing was nice though.

Wonderful (too brief) Vacation
The building and rooms are lovely. The soaps are great! The food at the restaurant was very delish. The staff was helpful, happy, and kind. The valet was particularly wonderful. The hotel is in the best location in the world, easy to get to all the beautiful spots, and great to just walk around the neighborhood.

1st Visit Experience
Nice and inviting, old classic charm. Very clean and tidy. Easy to get to, staff were friendly and easy to talk to. Great location for dinner, drinks, and additional amenities or snack in walking distance. Despite the ugly scaffolds the mountain view was lovely.
