We loved staying in Santa Barbara at the Harbor View Inn. The bathroom was by far the best hotel bathroom we have ever used. The patio was lovely with a beautiful wisteria tree, the passing train (not loud) and the wonderful Mountain View. We love our visits to Santa Barbara and will stay at the Harbor View Inn again, for sure.
