Bed was very comfy but I didn’t like paying for parking if I’m already staying there so no free parking was a con but many pros overall. Love that check out is noon because you don’t feel rushed to leave although we checked out by 11:20am it’s nice not to feel rushed. Walking distance to most amenities.

We enjoyed the quaint and quiet area nice place to just walk around and go to the nearby coffee houses. The hotel itself is very dated though I find it clean to a certain standard and the staff is nice. They can use a little updating so the guests will be more comfortable. Overall, satisfactory.

I loved the room but didn't like that the carpets hadn't fully dried from being cleaned and the room had a musty smell. A few clothing items fell on the floor over night. In the morning they were stained front the carpet dew. Other than that we were pleased with our stay.

Clean, basic accomodations in Montecito. The road it is on is surprisingly busy at night, so not the quietest, but location makes up for it. Rooms are dated, but clean and functional. Bathroom is tiny with a pedestal sink, so it is difficult to put on makeup or share with a partner. Bed is comfortable. Great location close to many restaurants and boutiques.

We have stayed here twice and always enjoy our stay. Rent the bikes, ride along the coast! It’s the perfect location with restaurants and shopping at your fingertips. I would say my only complaint is just that the beds are incredibly firm and the pillows will leave your neck a bit sore for a few days afterwards, but that could just be my personal preference at play here. We do enjoy our stay and hopefully next year we will make it back!

I love The CoaV village Inn. I’ve been putting up family and friends visiting Santa Barbara at this wonderful little hotel for years and I recently moved out of SB, but I make monthly trips here and I always make sure to book a night or two at the Coast Village Inn.

Perfect little stay
Perfect location and priced nicely for what it is. Small and simple rooms with $10 parking for overnight. Nice little pool area and very friendly office staff. Easy and affordable stay in a area perfect for walking and offers free bicycle rentals from the hotel.
