We come to Santa Barbara often and our favorite place is the Mar Monte Hotel. The woman, Caroline, at the front desk made it even better for us by helping of choose a room that was perfect. She was so kind and efficient and friendly. Thank you so much. We'll be back!

Nice lobby-lounge, pool area with poolside bar/restaurant, and workout room. Hotel is located across street from beach - this place is a fantastic value. Rooms are nicely appointed but on the small side. Although with all the great things to do outside - you won't be spending a lot of time there. Our family of four enjoyed our stay.

The staff was very attentive, personable and knowledgeable. The pool area was perfectly relaxing. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I would say needs improvement is that they need a kids menu. Our room came with a credit for breakfast and it was hard to find something for the grand children.

Just shy of perfect

Our room was quite comfortable it had the perfect space and furniture. We stayed in the main building and enjoyed the charm, pool and bikes. I typically will not stay in hotels rated good but the reviews were mixed with complimentary tones. The hotel is just shy of being excellent. Mostly, the linens are tired and need replacing as well as more provided. The robes were both small and lacking luster, if they fit we would not have worn them. The towels were not hotel towels, including pool towels. Our room had one glass provided, I had brought my own and assumed when cleaned that would change but no other glasses were delivered. The garbage can and tissue holder were peeling plastic. One of the under side tables had a malfunction tripping light. I would recommend the hotel and the location. Covina and Reunion Food and kitchen were great finds in a short walking distance. The hotel drinks and breakfast food were yummy.

I love the beach being across the street. I appreciate the checking-in staff, she was great. I also appreciate the wooden chips you get which give you $10 off drinks! I just wished the hotel would have had a bigger pool space to lay out. It was hard to get a chair, specially since the hotel is as big as it is or have a second pool. The other part was somewhat disappointed was dining options around the hotel since most of the were 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 mile away which are not walking distance.
