We had an exceptional stay at the Lavender Inn. We were immediately greeted by an inviting young gentleman who was tending the grounds and the very knowledgeable and friendly front desk staff Mickey. He provided us with important information of the hotel amenities, Santa Barbara wine and local chocolates they provide, and local restaurants, which we all took advantage of. The hotel grounds and rooms were very clean and well kept

Had another wonderful time at the Lavender Inn by the Sea!! This is the second time I have stayed there and it definitely will not be the last! The service was awesome and the room was perfect. Walking distance to the pier.

Lavender Inn is about a 5 minutes walk to the marina/beach/boardwalk. I liked being able to walk to the ocean quickly.
