The Eagle Inn - Santa Barbara

We were not that impressed with the money we paid for this. We chose this place because it was close to where we wanted to be, but we would not come back. THE PROS:The front desk clerk was very friendly. The lobby is inviting. The sheets were ULTA SOFT. The property and rooms are very clean. Very nice staff. The Made to order hot breakfast was delicious. You have to go to the little lobby area to eat, you can not take it to your room, but they have hot choices of eggs and english muffin, or bagel and lox, or a cold choice of yogurt ad granola, and it all comes with a small portion of fruit, and coffee and OJ. THE CONS: We saw pics that made it seem that you have a beach view, so we booked a king balcony upgrade, but no such view. The tiny balcony opens up to a busy loud street, and if you manage to see past the trees, you just see another hotel across the street. We did not realize this was located in the middle of a neighborhood. No Pool. The a/c did not work. despite us asking for assistance, in which we were told, it takes time to cool down, but by the time we came back after dinner, it was cooler outside, so we slept with the balcony door open, but it was loud that way with traffic and foot traffic. The parking was a tiny lot, that was full, so we were far down the street. The bed is not very comfortable as in it is lumpy. The towels were pretty stiff and you do not get shower soap or conditioner, just one tiny shampoo and one small bar of hand soap.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was very spacious, bigger than I expected from the pictures. The hot tub was very nice. The lights over the tub did not work well. One was out and the other must have been on some sort of timer. It would go off...then come back on...then go off...and so on. Free breakfast room service was cool. DVD player in the room was nice...rented a movie. WiFi service was non-existent. There were two networks to choose from. One had zero bars and the other was full. Using the correct password (given by the front desk), I could not get on. Bed was too soft for my liking, but my wife found it very comfortable. I would stay here again.

Wonderful room. Jacuzzi tub had rose petals on it when we arrived. We did not request this. Sheets were the softest I ever felt. Room was very comfortable and help desk was great. Looking forward to staying there again.

The room was on the small side but the bed was so comfortable and the bathroom so luxurious it more than made up for it. It was such a quiet location to.

Great location for all your needs!
