Hotels near Leadbetter Beach

"Everything excellent. "

"Great bed. Very clean. Lovely garden and pool. Great breakfast. Room shower had lovely tile, like new. Very pleased. "

"The Franciscan was such a charming stay. It was located centrally in the west beach area so it was easy to walk to The Funk Zone, the water, and along State St. We stayed in a deluxe king bed room and it was spacious, clean, and had a fridge and microwave which we needed for all of our leftovers from the weekend. The staff were friendly and we could have even borrowed the bikes on the property to bike around the city. I would definitely recommend staying here! "

"Rooms are small, perfect location. Would definitely recommend to friends."

"This was a perfect stay, in a perfect location, and with perfectly appointed rooms. The personnel were friendly, informative and professional. The Front Desk staff were lovely, the housekeeping personnel discreet, and the maintenance team members were always gracious when we encountered them. The pool was available for use until mid-evening, and an option to access the amenities at Las Brisas, a sister facility across the road, was also extended. The Inn is placed conveniently to allow walks along the waterfront, and to so many restaurant and coffee locations (do book at least a day ahead if you want to enjoy a few of the best food spots). The close location to Santa Barbara highways allows easy access to The Mission, the Rose Garden, Solvang, the Ostrich Farm, and The Botanical Garden. The morning continental breakfast is plentiful should you wish to eat light before setting off for the day. The evening cheese and wine was a great "in between" after touring for the day and setting off for dinner. Our stay was so comfortable. Thank you for our gifts of a bottle of sparkling wine. Should we travel back to Santa Barbara, we will definitely return to the Lavender Inn by the Sea. (I loved that Jimmy Cricket and his brother came to visit. I happily sent them off to play under the tree outside my room. Sadly, others seemed a little more perturbed by their visit!😉)"

"My stay at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort was truly exceptional. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and perfectly situated right across from the beach, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to the shoreline. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring that every part of my visit felt seamless and relaxing. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities and a peaceful ambiance—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Santa Barbara. The grounds are gorgeous, with walking paths, palm trees, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the scenery. The location is ideal, just minutes from the Funk Zone, the waterfront, Stearns Wharf, and great restaurants and shops. Whether you want to relax on the property or venture out, everything you need is within reach. Overall, the Hilton Santa Barbara delivers comfort, convenience, and outstanding service. I highly recommend this hotel for a weekend getaway, family trip, or relaxing escape by the ocean. I look forward to staying here again."

" always one of my favorite hotels. Beautiful views, fire tables, nice staff, comfortable beds. And of course the amazing location!"

"A beautiful, charming place with good-sized rooms. Excellent breakfast with a good selection. Also a variety of things available during the day - the hot spiced apple cider was EXCELLENT. Especially welcome during that cool, rainy week. Staff was very helpful. All around, our favorite place that we stayed on our trip. Only suggestion would be better places to plug in phones, chargers, etc., in the room."

"The room was extremely clean and we had a wonderful view! The staff were all fabulous. So close to the beach and great restaurants. Will definitely stay here again when in town. "
