West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel Santa Barbara Reviews from The Last Year
Quaint hotel in good location.
We enjoyed our stay right across the street from the beach nearby the marina area and the pier short walk away. They provided us 2hr passes to a local bike store so we explored the area along the coast some more. Afterwards the walk into downtown was about 15-20min w shops and eateries. Front desk staff gave good advice on the sights for the area The heated pool and the jacuzzi were pluses. Beds maintained though wasn't well insulated to all the outdoor noise.
Sweet, family feel to this waterfront inn in the heart of
Sweet, family feel to this waterfront inn in the heart of Santa Barbara. Walking distance to pier, waterfront, shops and good. We spent three nights here and enjoyed a lively continental breakfast every morning, wine, cheese, crackers and grapes for an evening happy hour. We also got bike rentals with our stay and had a great time exploring the waterfront on bikes. The property was gorgeous, facilities clean and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Five stars for Melissa and Teresa for their special hospitality!
After lots of searching I found this hidden gem in Santa
After lots of searching I found this hidden gem in Santa Barbara. This place is the best bang for your buck. The staff has been very nice, helpful and accommodating. The wine and cheese hour is a great perk, and the breakfast was plentiful. We were very pleased when we booked a garden view room and ended up with an ocean view as well. One thing that was unique to any place we have stayed was a live plant inside the room, I thought this was a great touch! Overall, we would definitely stay here again when visiting Santa Barbara.
We arrived well before our check in time, and Patty C.
helped accommodate our early arrival to some degree. She was friendly and full of local advice as we had several questions on places to go and things to do. This location feels a tad dated, but totally fine. It is withing walking distance of everything, super location. They have plenty of parking, which can be a challenge in this part of Santa Barbara, and they are right across the street from the beach. The room (#103) was nice, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi after a day of wine tasting. I'd come back to this property without hesitation. They also offer a very basic continental breakfast, starting at 7am, AND a wine/cheese evening mixer which is part of the room rate. This property has charm, and the staff is great, thanks Patty C!
We enjoyed everything about this lovely place to stay on
We enjoyed everything about this lovely place to stay on the harbor. Our room (321) was great, everything we wanted. And the private patio added to our enjoyment of the visit to Santa Barbara. The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance of most attractions. Staff was very helpful. We will return. Loved it.
Beautiful area, and everything is within walkable distance
Beautiful area, and everything is within walkable distance which I enjoyed. I just wish I knew how small the Queen room was going to be, the pictures made it seem bigger otherwise, I would have paid more for a king. The beds feel like you are sleeping on a box of cement, so uncomfortable! Just a few changes would make a huge difference Otherwise, it was amazing.
This hotel is perfect.
The rooms are spacious and clean and the grounds are well maintained. We come to Santa Barbara often and our only regret is not booking a stay here sooner. Anna provided us with exceptional customer care , the kind of friendliness and service we hope for whenever we travel. We have an event in Santa Barbara next month and will book our return trip before we leave thanks to our wonderful experience.
We had a great stay at the West Beach Inn! Perfection
We had a great stay at the West Beach Inn! Perfection location right by the beach, across from a business with jet ski/kayak/boat/whale tours, and restaurants down the street, etc. Nice pool area we didn't use too often but wasn't ever too crowded. Wine and cheese hour and breakfast was a nice, modest arrangement. So many great restaurants closeby and also down State street. The weather was so nice but the A/C did work great when it was needed. Only con we could think of was wifi a bit spotty. We flew to SB so we didn't deal with parking but the lot didn't look full. Bike rentals were not on the property but they have bike vouchers to give you. We would definitely stay here again!
so far this day has been excellent! The pool area is lovely
so far this day has been excellent! The pool area is lovely and customer service is outstanding. We have felt very private and comfortable here as we've been here for a few days we wanted to give a shout out to the individuals that made it happen for us during fiesta week. Out of all of the places we stayed in Santa Barbara this is by far the most accommodating and comfortable highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a hotel in Santa Barbara and downtown Santa Barbara area. Just a short walk to the beach, which is right across the street, and a few blocks away from the pier , it's an ideal location. It's comfortable and barely moderately priced. We had stayed in a Quality and a few days prior to staying here and it was about $100 less, it felt like such an upgrade moving to West Beach Inn and we're grateful for this facility and all the good they do for the people that choose to stay here. It's clean, quiet and accommodating and honestly it's a home away from home currently. Quick shout out to all of those who work here , thank you for being the reason. We're comfortable while we're away from my home.
You get what you pay for.
First off, the staff at the front desk is very welcoming and courteous. The property itself is about a 10-minute walk to the pier. Parking is decent, and the property has plenty of spots for its guests, considering for Memorial Day weekend. Room cleanliness was decent from the time we checked in. The hotel offers a daily continental breakfast but with very limited options to cereal, bagels, hard-boiled eggs, fruits, and toast. The bathroom offers bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner from a fixed dispenser. However, the bathtub has an awkward glass placement in lieu of a shower curtain that makes turning on the shower knobs... awkward. As for the cons, the cleaning staff omitted cleaning our room. We were gone for about a good 4 hours during midday, and the maid staff did not clean our rooms even after the front desk asked us a preference in time of day. The television set did not allow for me to use my Amazon Firestick cause of its input placement, and the TV volume was very faint. Pillows were subpar and kept me tossing and turning for most of the first night. Overall, we spent about $400 per person for 2 nights. Again, you get what you pay for, and still wasn't a bad price for a holiday weekend. Definitely wouldn't mind returning, but it's definitely not the worst choice.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerVirtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
