This property was conveniently located to many dining options and it was right in front of the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only con was that parking was a little difficult. They do offer a parking option, but we arrived towards the later part of the night and there were only a few compact spaces left.

Would have given it a 5 star, but the amenities are lacking when you’re not connected to the main building. I stayed at the north end of the hotel and there weren’t any snacks or water readily available in the building. For a 4 star hotel, I would better prepare the rooms since much is closed in the area.

The location of this hotel is great, and the outside is very pretty. Those were the positives. If you stay in the South building (one on the beach) or the West building (partial beach/ocean views) the rooms have been somewhat remodeled but aren't as comfortable as the two newer buildings (North building and East building). North and East Wings are mostly city views, but the rooms are very nice. This property only has a pool and a mediocre fitness room as amenities. No restaurant, no bar, no room service and no bottled waters in the rooms! I had to ask repeatedly to simply be restocked of toilet paper. If you get a room in the $200's then it's probably a descent rate for this property, but I'd say a bad value for anything $300 and up. The Santa Barbara Inn is also on the beach, far nicer, and they provide bottled water and umbrellas for guests unlike Harbor View Inn. I had to sign a document just to be issued an umbrella (from a secure room) so that I didn't get soaked. Most hotels provide umbrellas in the rooms and then charge you if you take them. Perhaps this place just needs new management.

My partner and I loved this hotel. The parking was a little pricey and per night so it definitely adds up. However it was very convenient, just pull in and park. Our room was at the north wing, their new establishment and it was very nice. Not run down or smelly, king bed was wonderful. Had a partial view of the city and was overlooking the pizza place next door so it could get noisy but nothing crazy. A few blocks away from walking state st, as well as the beach just a block away. Overall great experience.
