Casa Del Mar Inn, hotel in Santa Barbara

This hotel is located less than 5 minutes from Stearns Wharf and Ledbetter Beach and Park. It features rooms with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi.

The view of the mountains from room 309 was great. The room was spacious, though the bed was a bit soft. The location near the beach, the wharf, and State St. was excellent. The breakfast was unique with bakery type offerings, though no hot protein.

    The Inn is located one block from the beach and just a couple blocks from the famed "State St". You can walk most everywhere.

    What a beautiful Inn! It was warm, inviting, and central to downtown Santa Barbara as well as only a block from the beach and pier! The room was spectacular, and the balcony overlooked the pool. It will be my go-to for Santa Barbara! I didn't drive at all during my entire stay because everything was within walking distance.

    Our stay at the Bath Street Inn was delightful and full of charm! The breakfast and late afternoon cookies and refreshments were delicious, the room was clean and perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts were responsive and very accommodating. Location was close proximity to downtown State St and located in a quaint residential area (easy 5 min bike ride to the downtown; bikes located around the corner next to bus stop).

    Exceptionally well located Inn which was very comfortable and clean. The property is walking distance to so many great restaurants and wine tasting bars. I do recommend a visit to the funk zone. The staff were very helpful.
