21-Feb-2023 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Feb 17 to Sun Feb 19 2023 at a $613.99 average nightly rate.
"Charming boutique hotel with historical ambiance and a gorgeous location."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We stayed at the Monte Mar for three nights and had a great time enjoying the location across the street from East Beach. The room was small but had a balcony which faced the ocean and it was clean, sparsely furnished and had a good shower. From there we had many Santa Barbara adventures. The staff was polite and helpful; we didn't eat at the hotel, but will when we return. A lovely weekend!

"Great hotel and location."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Loved the hotel architecture, pool and bikes. Service was great and room was clean. Easy walk to the beach and easy access to the bike/walking path along the beach. Only issue we had was with the WiFi.

"It was nothing special. The facilities needed a serious update!"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The valet service was a disincentive for a property that had surface parking. The resort fee was a surprise and the hidden was not appreciated. The checkin experience was not at all welcoming and efficient.
