Top Leadbetter Beach Hotel Reviews

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Super helpful staff. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure and temperature in shower was great. Quiet property. AC worked great. Easy walking distance to things nearby. Very happy with our stay and would recommend!"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The best mattress of all our stays and finally a hot tub that wasn't just warm water. Nice pool, great location, nice breakfast."

Hideaway Santa Barbara, A Kirkwood Collection Property

10/10 Excellent

"Great made to order breakfast and staff was super friendly. Our TV did not work unfortunately and they were unable to fix it during our stay. Morning walks through the nature path close by to the harbor was lovely, yet a lot of homeless near by at night."

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Got greeted by amazing staff members. Quick check in, our junior suite was perfect for our family of 4. Super clean room, and hotel overall. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, my 5&6 year old loved it!"

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jorge was super helpful in getting us the perfect room, as we wanted to face the marina."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Milo

8/10 Good

"Nice location- Pool was well-maintained. My bathroom had hair in the shower when I arrived. And they weren’t able to grant me any sort of a late checkout. I felt like they were pressuring me out right at 11. It was fine-"

Ala Mar by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the property is beautiful! The motel has a relaxed atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable, and cozy."

Marina Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Hotels.com site said the property has a pool—it does not. That was very disappointing. The hotel has an arrangement with the Franciscan Inn to use their pool, but that was not convenient. The room had a musty smell, possibly from the old AC unit. But the ceiling fan helped circulate the air so it was bearable. The staff was very friendly and helpful."
