Coast Village Inn

Nice little retro motor inn set back from the road a bit in the village of Montecito. Spit-shined rooms are on the small side, with old fashioned windows that open and a ceiling fan but no A/C. Bathrooms are particularly tight but the shower (our room had no tub) was fairly roomy with a light rain-style water pressure). Room had a set of drawers, an open closet space and a bit of room to move around. (Adequate for 2 persons but definitely not roomy.) Coffee in room or in the lobby, no breakfast. Several breakfast places within a few blocks walk. The 2nd floor rooms are only accessible by a steep flight of stairs, may be difficult for some with luggage but staff is happy to help if available. Parking, a bit tight for large cars, is in front of and behind the motel. Walk to everything in town or under the freeway (via tunnel) to Butterfly Beach. A dozen or so free beach cruiser bikes for guest use and it's an easy ride along Butterfly Beach and up around the cemetery into Santa Barbara and along the beach strand. (On the way back though you'll have some uphill climbs to walk/deal with and might take the main drag back instead, Cabrillo-to-Hot-Springs roundabout-to Coast Village Road. there is a bike lane. Five stars not because it's the Ritz or comparable, but because for what it is, a retro motel nicely kept over the decades, it's a good choice in a very pricey area if you're ok with the little quirk. It's kinda nice that this place still exists and has not been replaced by yet another sleek white-and-black generic dull modern box. Your little room will take you back to the 50s or 60s and the "this place needs an update" crowd will not be happy here.

Cozy clean quite hotel

Coast Village Great location, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops.

My reservation was made on the wrong day it's the 3rd time this has happened on this app I will not book through this app again

Great stay! An amazing location, really nice staff and super quiet

Everything was great but the mattresses were quite possibly the worst I’ve ever encountered. Bummed but understandable!
