Summerland Inn

Perfect location. A little "girly" with all the flower wall paper and bed spreads. Price was high during summer.

I agree with the 0 star review. My family had to relocate in the middle of the night after finding a bed bug crawling across my mother's pillow. Even worse I found another one on one of my clean shirts after scalding myself in a hot shower at the new hotel. This is repulsive and this place should be shut down. This place is not acceptable for humans.

BOOK ELSEWHERE!!! My husband and I stayed one night and will never come back. Pillow case had a blood stain. My husband and I were surprised and confused in disbelief. I went down stairs to tell the front desk about it and the lady said "those are clean, but maybe it didn't come off". She was bothered and had an attitude about it. The place is dirty and cluttered. This place is unacceptable to me.

Imagine spending the night in your great aunt's old, creepy, never updated home right after her funeral. This place is the bed and breakfast (without breakfast) of last resort. Checking in, the lobby was filled with the ambiance of a Chinese language TV show loudly emanating from an adjacent room. The fireplace mantel was festooned with several religious statues from Buddha to Vishnu and many in between along with a troop of waving cat figures. A reanimated Madam Wu took our credit card and provided the door key. We requested a king room, but received a "Stephen King" house of horror room. The room decor was garish with fruity wallpaper and dark mauve carpeting. The virtual antique 24" TV/VHS/DVD combo with grainy picture belied the free wifi available in the room. The bathroom, with peeling paint, buckled tiles and evidence of mold gave the feeling of needing a shower after you've showered. However, what puts this place over the top was the infestation of roaches. I counted 7 during our 10 hour stay. Some living in the toilet tank (coming out when the toilet flushed) and some in the bedroom area (including one ON the bed itself). I picked up my shoes off the floor to put them on and two roaches were hiding underneath- Ick!!!! It was completely and utterly disgusting. I only recommend this place as a step up from sleeping in your car. Even then I hesitate. You've been warned.

We've only stayed here once, which was last night, and I think we can see where all of the comments came from. Our expectations set the tone, probably ... we knew it was right next to the freeway, we knew it was an older Victorian-style place, and we knew it was $50 lower than the lowest price at any nearby places in the Santa Barbara area.Not going to say we fell in love with the place, but it was nice enough, and we'll probably book there, in the future.Fact is, the room we got was clean, well-equipped with a microwave and small refrig, bathroom was fine, bed was large and a bit squeeky, if you know what I mean, tv worked great, lots of charm, not too noisy, smelled fine, clean linens, didn't hear any of the neighbors until everyone started showering, in the morning ... in short ... not the Ritz, but didn't irritate us, either ... which is saying something. :)Do not be afraid ... go ahead and book this place, if you want a decent room to crash in when you're doing something in the area and don't want to spend $50 more for a room for the night. Local eateries within reasonable walking distance aren't not too bad.

My husband and I liked this funny place because it felt like staying at Grandmas house. Creaky, busy wallpaper but cozy. No bed bugs to be found. The front desk lady was nice and accommodating. This place is not the ritz but a sleepy little funky inn at the end of town.

If you don't mind not having an updated room for 40 years look, mold on shower door, dirty floor, toiletries consisted of gum sized bath soap, and a greasy 2 ounce bottle of shampoo, paint peeling from bathroom ceiling, different textured blankets and colors, not sure if bedding was clean, odd old smell, then stay there. I spent $200 for one night and I could have slept in my car and gotten a good nights sleep. For free too.

Very bad. Seems to be run by an elderly woman, and the upkeep is too much for her. The place needs maintenance. The other reviews seem accurate. Our room had used, wet towels, trash in the trashcan, and an odd assortment of blankets on the bed. Were there sheets? I'm not sure. Were they clean? I don't know but, I'd bet no. We had room #6 and the freeway noise was actually not bad. However, we could hear all the conversation and tv from the room next to us. Also, I get that the owners don't want to maintain the place, but the smoke alarm in the hall way was going off with a low battery beep that was easily heard from our room, and I assume all the rooms. I mean, seriously, you run an inn, and leave a beeping alarm in the hallway? That was kind of a slap in the face. Why am I paying you? This, taken with the dirty room and everything, just makes this place a very poor place to stay, but it is relatively cheap. The crazy thing is, its still not cheap in absolute terms. We paid $125 for the night. The place is prob still a good value if you bring your own towels and bedding. Hotels are very expensive in the area. We made the mistake of not bringing a towel and bedding and so we left without staying the night...an expensive mistake.

Place is absolutely disgusting. Never thought id see some shit like this. The place reeks of old. Smells like a funeral home. Spiders galore in the bathroom.
