We loved our stay at the Inn on Summer Hill - we wanted a relaxing anniversary weekend close enough to explore Santa Barbara and Solvang/Ojai, without having to stay in the bustle of a major city. This hotel is so quaint, the room was spacious and very charming, and we got to experience Montecito shopping and eats a couple minutes away (which was a pleasant surprise)! There's an amazing cafe and shop (Field and Fort) a short walk away that we went to every morning. If you want a relaxing weekend getaway in a good central location, can't recommend this place enough!

All the staff are wonderful. The Jacuzzi is nice and clean close to the beach close to all the restaurants. I stayed for a week and I am coming back. Wanna think William for his helpfulness when the power went out from Carpenteria to Santa Barbara set everybody up with lamps and accommodated everybody the best they could and everything went really smooth. I’ll be back. I love everybody there any accommodations are beautiful..

We loved this place it was small and our room was cute and very clean. It’s just a bit loud from the freeway noise, but they are aware and I was happy to find a noise reduction machine on the table so you could help drown out the freeway noise with ocean or rain sounds. They also provide ear plugs. We got used to the noise and it really wasn’t a problem. We will stay there again. There are great shops and a cozy restaurant nearby.
