The hotel is beautiful and in the perfect location! The only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is the room is nothing special and I had a deluxe room but our balcony was closed in and facing state street which was fantastic. This will be our new go to hotel for Sant Barbara. Great staff as well

Harbor View is a great place to stay that's right on the beach. Very clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They advertise a poolside bar, but we discovered it doesn't open until Memorial Day. Other than that we had a great stay.
