The Eagle Inn

Broke sink, broken coffee maker and no cares about the complaints. No more flights with the eagle.

Un bed and breakfast génial. Notre chambre (Anacapa) était un peu à l’écart avec un patio et pas de voisins. Bien équipée, très propre, baignoire spa, lit confortable et meme une cheminée ! Des oiseaux partout, la mer à 1′ à pied, un accueil souriant, des petits cookies/​cafés/​gourmandises à discrétion, des DVDS gratuits, des vélos prêtés, un petit déjeuner original… Nous devions rester une nuit, nous sommes restés, conquis, quatre nuits, amoureux de l’hôtel et de la ville !

Not a fan would not go again. Fist off the room smelled so bad od Clorox Bleach for 2 days it was very unpleasant even going to bed the sheets smelled so strong it was not a comfy way to sleep. (I believe in clean but try some fabric softener to make the smell better. The little refrigerator in the room hummed so loud all night we had to turn it off, worthless for our drinks! And the bed was so crappy we both woke with sore backs.
Overpriced… We went on our 3^rd day and compared and you can get a much better place right on the beach (this was NOT) for less money. Oh and the Eagles breakfast was poor as well.

This place is really cute and quaint. The location is great, just a few blocks to the beach and restaurants. The staff is wonderful and they serve a really nice breakfast in the morning which is included in the room price.

This is my go-​to Inn for romantic Santa Barbara weekends! This hotel is a great find and their hotel rooms are amazing! We honestly stay here 99% for the bathtub. We have stayed in the Santa Cruz room twice and both stays have been beyond amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful and the location is just a short walk to the beach. If you ware looking for a nice getaway and an great place to stay, this is it!

Beautiful. Booked a casita last week Fri-​Mon. Accommodations were roomy and clean. Breakfast provided every morning was yummy. However things took a turn Sunday afternoon after my wife and I came back from our outing. Our keys had been deactivated. I went to the front desk and they were confused asking if we wanted to stay an extra night. No, I made my original reservation to check out on MONDAY.
Come Monday morning around 930am (check out is at 11am) the electricity went out, which also resulted in my shower going from hot to ice cold. Upon checking out I mentioned that I wanted a receipt (to make sure I wasnt over charged etc), gentleman stated «Well I cant do that right now since we have a power outage». Mind you no apologies to my wife and I for the inconvenience! Bummer, such a lovely place but with glitches…

Room 101! Nooo pls stay away from it! The worst night i have ever have in my life! Super duper noisy.
Noises from street and noises inside the hotel.
You can feel every steps, and every movements. The very bad experience started at 5 am and it got worst since the room is next to the breakfast room and kitchen too, around 6am you can hear them preparing everything for breakfast and then the people having their breakfast.
Forget sleeping after 5am!
Start my day with headache in Santa Barbara!

Took my wife here for our 15^th wedding anniversary. The staff was welcoming and accommodating with my questions. We decided to go big and stay in the casita, San Clemente. The room was clean and met my expectations. The breakfast was delivered every morning to our room and was good but not great. The available bikes was a huge perk. Great location… in a quiet neighborhood but still close enough to walk or bike to the Funk Zone and State Street. Would stay here again for sure!

Great find! I hadn’t heard of this hotel before booking it, but I’m so glad that Priceline pointed me in its direction as a hotel with free parking and free wifi. Neither were a problem for us during our stay (Thurs-​Sat), however, I can totally see how on a weekend, the parking would get full. And given the city of Santa Barbara’s penchant for restrictive street parking, that would really be a problem for guests on a weekend. The hotel should get some permits for guests to be able to park on the street!
Fortunately, a car isn’t absolutely necessary depending on what you’re planning to do for your visit. The hotel is located just two blocks from beach access, close to Stearns Wharf. It’s also incredibly easy to walk to state street. The most pleasant surprise about Eagle inn, for me, was the free bike rental! On the first day of our visit we totally took advantage of that to bike up to the wharf and enjoy the beach views.
The breakfast is nice, you get served one of two options for the day, and there is always candy, coffee and tea in the lobby. In the afternoon there were fresh cookies, which were a really nice touch. The one thing I wish they also had was water — I know we are in a drought, but a water cooler in the lobby would make a huge difference.
The room we were in, itself was very nice. It wasn’t large by any means, but it was so cozy and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and I really liked the dual showers. My towel on the my last morning had a weird stain on it that grossed me out, but it was too late to do anything about it so oh well. Just keep an eye out, I guess. There was a Keurig, fridge and microwave which were very useful. The TV supposedly had cable, but it was difficult to figure out and didn’t seem to work when I wanted to have it on during some down time.
Overall the good definitely outweighed the «meh» at the Eagle Inn and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to have a quick getaway to SB. I look forward to returning sometime!

My friend recommended this place and I am glad she did! The room was very cute! We got the king room with hot tub and fireplace. Utilized both and had such a romantic weekend. It was pretty close to everything too. The only negative is the TV is pretty old but we barely watched TV. Plus is they have an iHome dock station that is compatible with iPhone 5’s and newer.

I booked a Groupon for this hotel, a standard king room with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, to celebrate my eight month anniversary with my boyfriend.
Upon arriving the woman at the front desk, Danielle, was SO sweet and accommodating. We were lucky we came on an off day, she offered us an upgrade to a casita (the best the hotel offers, it’s basically an elegant apartment with a giant whirlpool tub, king bed and private patio!) for a *very* reasonable price. Once the room was ready we found the tub lined with rose petals, an added oomph to make our anniversary celebration even more special. Everyone at this hotel has really gone above and beyond. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back! :)

Choose Wisely, we had a horrible stay.
The WiFi is the WORST and slowest that I have ever experienced at any Inn. It even had trouble opening e-​mails. We spoke to the front desk & asked what we could do – of course there was nothing. The towels were shredding and falling apart (which is a big deal breaker for me.) Our in-​room safe was broken, the front desk girl even tried to use the «over-​ride» code, and nothing. She was going to report it to MGMT (who is her Dad), but we never heard anything. Breakfast was not appealing, and our room was close to the sidewalk which we heard people walking, talking, and laughing at all hours.
Honestly, this all could have been resolved if we had heard SOMETHING from the management!
Here is a tip for their Management– Try CARING for your guests. because if you don’t– there are many other places who WILL!
Thank-​you, MGMT for nothing.

This place is simply lovely. Girl at the desk was a doll, and upon entering my room, there was a vase of roses and a «Happy Birthday» card (I think I had maybe mentioned it as the occasion for my stay on the online reservation).
Clean, quiet, charming. My room had a switch-​operated gas fireplace; the shower had plenty of hot water with strong pressure, and a nice quick drain (at so many other hotels, you end up ankle-​deep in your own runoff by the end of your shower due to a slow drain). Also, a very short walk to the wharf.
As the other reviews mention: great free breakfast, free bikes, free DVD borrowing library. One of the less expensive places in the area, to boot. If I ever return to Santa Barbara, I will be staying here again!

If I had to choose one place for a romantic getaway in Santa Barbra I’d pick this place. I cannot say enough and they were extremely accommodating.
I took my girlfriend here for a weekend (Fri — Sun) for a combo birthday + Christmas gift and everything went perfect. They had the room set up with rose pedals when we walked in the first time, then I asked if they could set up champagne and chocolate covered strawberries when we went out for dinner.
When we got back for dinner the champagne, strawberries, and candles we all set up perfectly! My girlfriend was very surprised. Then they helped me schedule a couples massage that evening, which was another surprise. So the first afternoon /​evening there was absolutely perfect.
The vibe of this inn is very boutique, quaint, and charming. Perfect for couples. We could also use the bikes daily (for free), which we did. They gave us great suggestions on where to go and what to do. Both State Street, the beach, and the train station are all walking distance.
I’d say my girlfriend had a great experience for her first stop in Santa Barbara because this place made such a nice impression.

My husband and I went here for his birthday 2 years ago. We booked a wonderful cottage, and a birthday massage.
I love this place. I really, really love this place. The rooms and cottages are beautiful, the staff very, very friendly. We’ve been back a few times, and it is overall a very relaxing and pleasant experience. It’s not too far from the water, and some excellent restaurants.
We’re heading back here for Christmas. If you get a chance to visit Santa Barbara, definitely consider a stay at the Eagle Inn.

I like this place. Very cozy and homey, and I like the personal touches they put with the breakfast, cookies they make for the lobby. My family also stays at Casa Del mar sometimes, but I think this place a) has way better parking b) better rooms c) better breakfast.
Eagle inn now does a breakfast where you choose one meal over another (either huevos rancheros or yoghurt and granola), fruit, oj, and coffee. I think they should keep some continental breakfast stuff out though, like muffins or cereal, just because I think if I had picked yoghurt I’d still be hungry.
We did have a weird moment where we came in at around 5:30 and no one was there to check us in for 20 min.
Rooms were really clean, heating worked well, and was appreciative of the little chocolates they leave on the table.
Wish they had a wine/​cheese time like Casa Del mar does. Not sure what the «free appetizer» offer on Unilocal is for? Didn’t think they did dinner or anything.

Well now, seeing how I’m getting blamed for an idiotic design of a whirlpool bathtub, this should tell you more of how they treat their customers.
1. I can read very well, thank you.
2. Why would there be an electric control panel INSIDE the tub?
3. I did not fill water passed the maximum fill point. How do you know water did not get into this unsafe control panel from jet bubbles and moving around in the tub? Am I and my significant other supposed to sit quietly and not move an inch as to not create any chance of water entering this area?
4. Why were there no staff members there to fix it?

This review is long overdue. I stayed at the eagle inn as part of my honeymoon. I stayed two nights. Once in the San Clemente room. This was a nice big suite and it came with its own private garage space and a large spa tub. It was spacious however it felt a little outdated.
The negative review is because the other night I stayed in one of their regular rooms and it was not a good experience. The room size was small, the TV outdated, the carpet looked old, and the bed was not comfortable. They do offer complimentary breakfast with your stay but I’m probably not coming back.

We usually stay in a cottage, however last minute notice of course it was already rented. We reviewed results on Unilocal for guidance, Knew we wanted to stay in same area so decided to stay on the same street at Eagle Inn which is actually one block closer to the beach.
So glad we did. Parking was easy, check in was a breeze, perfect place for an evening stroll along the beach, a lot of choices for dining. They even have bikes to use, no charge. Nice touch Eagle Inn. We didn’t use bikes this stay but for sure we will when we return.
We just asked for the basic room. We had Bath Street view. Room is small but well designed. It was very cozy, clean, updated current style and peaceful. Bathroom amenities to a double headed shower… little things add up including excellent bedding. They absolutely thought about what went into making it a nice place to stay!
The morning breakfast options were great, and it’s included. Staff was very friendly, serve was excellent and personable. Food was good and hot!
Check out same excellent service and smiling faces. You can tell they enjoy their job!

We LOVED our stay here! We got a King jacuzzi room and it was awesome! Room was spacious and clean. They also left chocolates in wine glasses from a local chocolatier and rose pedals on the 2 people hot tub! (We didn’t even get the romance package.) Comes with dual shower head in the bathroom, a mini fridge and a microwave, and a nice warm fireplace! We took advantage of the free bike rentals too and biked along the shore.
The breakfast was great! Much better than other b&b we were looking at. Our first day the breakfast consisted of smoked salmon on a bed of lettuce with side of bagel, second day was scrambled eggs with spinach tomato and feta, and also side of bagel. Both days come with freshly squeezed orange juice and bowl of fresh fruits. They also had yogurt and granola, which we didn’t try since we opted for the more substantial options. But that also looked good from other tables.
Some additional little perks that put a cherry on top: Freshly baked cookies every afternoon. Very nice service/​staff. Also, on our first day, there was a free wine tasting plus cheese and cracker event going on in the breakfast room. We got to the hotel just a couple minute too late and they ran out of wine. But it was still a nice event hosted for us and we did enjoy the snacks. Too bad the free wine tasting was a special event only for that day.
It is a bit pricey, but still within norm for the area. The parking lot is small and fills up quickly, but there’s street parking available if we move the car by 10am the next morning on weekends/​holidays. All in all it was an awesome stay and we will definitely stay here again!

Yes, 5 stars.
Is it the 4 Seasons? The Ritz? No and no. And it doesn’t pretend to be, either.
The location is great, just a couple short blocks to the boardwalk. Sambo’s is about a 2 minute walk away. The pier/​wharf is just a few more minutes walk. State Street is not a far walk, either, except that the portion of State Street with all the action is probably half a mile away, still not too bad.
The hotel is clean, quiet and extremely quaint. Free hot (or cold) breakfast each morning, free wifi, free parking, and free treats at night. Walls are a bit thin so fair warning.
Rates are great, too. It feels a bit like a B&B without the forced camaraderie. I would return in a heartbeat.

Bom hotel. Quarto pequeno mas OK. Limpo, arrumadinho. Cama confortável. Lençóis macios. Tem café da manhã. Perto da praia. Gostei. Recepção gentil.
