La Playa Inn, Santa Barbara CA

The room we lived in was large enough, clean and well designed. The room had an AC/heater, fridge, coffee maker, safe, iron, hair dryer. Sound isolation was OK to block a noise coming from the street, but when somebody decided to start jumping in the room above, it was clearly noticeable. The bed was ok, sifter than I like. Pillows were not very comfortable and could be larger.
The hotel staff was good.
Free parking.
Breakfast was quite basic: pastry, cereals, yogurt, granola bars, apples, bananas, oatmeal in paper bags, tea, coffee.

Overall, really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed 3 nights as a family of 4. The Inn is very clean, comfortable, with spacious/well designed rooms and staff are very friendly.
Location is great, easy to walk to the waterfront and into downtown (around 15mins).
Continental breakfast was suitable.
Rooms had a lot of good space and didn’t feel cramped at all. Beds are a little on the small side - they are full size rather than Queen or double so just a few inches to narrow with the 4 of us, pillows could also be a little bigger, they’re quite small for the size.
Would stay again.

LA Playa is the perfect overnight getaway for this older couple allowing us to ditch the car and take a short walk to the harbor & restaurants. It is a lovely architecture with several outdoor areas that feel like intimate settings. The bed was Heavenly! Unlike other hotels, their continental fare included croissants- even chocolate croissants. Yum. Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere & pleasant, helpful staff.

Great location. Very easy walk to harbor and downtown. Good staff, clean, comfortable. But not the place if you need a view.

Very nice hotel within walking distance of most of the Santa Barbara higlights!
The whole hotel looks like it's new!
The friendly lady at the reception gave us our room a few hours early which was a nice extra.

Hated this place. You get nothing for your money, not even a bottle of water. You're expected to go to reception to get water, and that's after paying almost $400 for a room! The hotel is also very noisy. We were woken up around midnight by guests talking and laughing loudly in the courtyard. And I'm certain we weren't the only ones. Noise just bounces off the walls of the courtyard and the reception does little or nothing to keep things quiet. A guest eventually spoke with the group and they eventually dissipated to their own rooms. Free parking, but no security. Breakfast offers nothing more than cereal and stale muffins. Will not be staying here again.

ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING AND CLEANEST HOTEL I’VE EVER STAYED AT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. It’s absolutely beautiful and has a great location! The staff was so kind. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Excellent location, a stone's throw from the sea. Large and clean rooms. Basic but sufficient breakfast.

Lovely new rooms. Small but OK breakfast.
Super Clean. Walking distance to beach.
7eleven close by.

Great service, very friendly staff, beautiful room and great location. Highly recommended!

Everything was super clean, comfortable beds, nice staff.

Breakfast is a bit plain —> sufficient, but I would have hoped for a little more for the price. (muffins, croissants, muesli bars, yogurt)

Due to the situation, they canceled and returned all the money even though it was not possible. Thanks!

Very conveniently located just a couple of blocks from the beach. It's almost literally across the street from the Carriage Museum.

The parking includes several EV charging spots.

Light breakfast is included (dry cereal, milk, yogurt, fresh fruit, muffins, orange juice, coffee/tea). The yogurt fridge is available 24/7.

It's an easy walk to a 7/11, and to a couple of restaurants.

I would definitely stay there for our next trip to Santa Barbara.

Located next to a park/field. Lots of parking, but electric chargers didn't work and company that supports them (Loop) was useless. Hotel service was friendly and professional though. Only real issue is the beds were way too soft and not comfortable. Overall, typical hotel priced at 3x the typical prices because it's in SB.
