Mason Beach Inn - A renovated beachfront hotel with Spanish architecture, 45 modern rooms, and proximity to Santa Barbara's waterfront attractions

Located in West Beach, known for its wide sandy area popular with sunbathers and volleyball players, the newly renovated Mason Beach Inn is just steps from Santa Barbara's waterfront and a 10-minute walk from Santa Barbara Amtrak. All 45 guest rooms feature premium bedding, laptop-friendly workspaces, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and newly added pillow-top mattresses. The property's Spanish architecture, with bougainvillea-draped pergolas and wrought iron fixtures, reflects the quintessential Santa Barbara style. Guests can dine at nearby restaurants like Sambo's or Rudy's Mexican Restaurant, both within 0.5 km, while landmarks such as Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum are within 1 km. The Santa Barbara Sailing Center offers boat charters and sunset cruises, and Wheel Fun Rentals provides electric and pedal-powered vehicles to explore the area.

Rooms feature modern comforts such as pillow-top mattresses, premium bedding, and 55-inch flat-screen TVs.

Santa Barbara Amtrak station is just a 10-minute walk away.

An Ideal Stay for a Romantic Getaway!!!

This hotel has very spacious rooms with a modern design. The grab-and-go porridge available in reception provided a lovely, convenient touch. The cookies and coffee offered by the hotel were fantastic too. The heated pool and hot tub were clean, providing relaxation for me and my partner.
The fridge in our room was locked, and we could only use it after purchasing something.

weak pressurethin walls
The room itself felt somewhat underwhelming. the water pressure in the shower was noticeably weak. It made rinsing off shampoo difficult. i also found the walls to be quite thin because i could clearly hear conversations from the neighboring room. this lack of soundproofing made it hard to fully relax.
