The accommodations at the Santa Barbara Casa Del Mar Inn include a work desk. In-room spa services are available upon request. A hair dryer and ironing facilities are provided.

Casa Del Mar Inn serves a buffet breakfast every morning. Complimentary wine and cheese are available in the lobby every evening. Dry cleaning and laundry services are available.

Loved the room and the location. The breakfast buffet is definitely more of a snack not a real buffet. However, we were pleased to have coffee available. The wine and cheese, again very basic but a cute touch. Beds were comfortable!

    The location was fine. It didn't make much of a difference to me, as I stayed inside during my entire stay. However, the exterior of the inn felt unsafe at night as a single female traveler. The staff were very friendly when interacting directly with them. They were understanding that I had to return one key 10 minutes after checking out, as I gave it to my husband (who did not stay with me) and he forgot to leave it with me. At first glance, the interior of my room was clean and well-presented.

    Good location with parking and breakfast included. They also offer water and coffee in the lobby 24 hours. We asked for some recommendations for dinner and the friendly young man at Reception gave us a list of all the places the staff had put together. Super helpful.

    I surprised my girlfriend with a weekend bday trip and wanted to make sure I didn't miss a single detail... Well, I did miss, but the staff helped me ever step of the way. I didn't book a spa treatment in time, they found a backup spa in quickly. I asked for them to pop into our room for surprise preparations after we went to dinner, they delivered. Just a great vibe, overall. I'm grateful.

    We stayed in the Jacuzzi tub suite which was very nice & roomy. The balcony was nice. Great location. Quiet neighborhood in residential area. Walking distance to State Street, Funk Zone, beach & 2 piers. The staff were very kind staff & helpful. The call to order breakfast was good with the option of in room service. The Inn reminded us of our stays in Italy. We would definitely stay here again & highly recommend The Eagle Inn. Thank you!
