I had a wonderful time at Montecito Inn! The beautiful decor and cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. The location is perfect, with shops, restaurants, and Butterfly Beach within easy walking distance. However, I found the breakfast setup to be quite cramped, which detracted from my overall experience. 😊
Rooms

My King Room was ample and charming, with a generous feel. I loved the big bathroom and jacuzzi tub, which contributed to my luxurious experience. However, I did notice that some rooms might not be perfectly soundproof, so I could hear my neighbors at times.

The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect! It's situated within walking distance to many good shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area. Plus, Butterfly Beach is just a short bike ride away, which I appreciated as the hotel provides bikes for guests.

While the hotel itself is beautiful, I found the breakfast options a bit meager for such a high-quality place. The setup in the lobby felt a little cramped, but the nearby cafes offered a quick walk to some great dining options.

My stay at Montecito Inn was a mixed experience. The charm of the old building and its location were definitely highlights, but the room itself felt a bit outdated and not as comfortable as I hoped. The staff was pleasant, though service could be slow at times. Overall, it's a decent place but not quite worth the price paid for its current state.
Rooms
6.0
The room was small and could really use some updates; the decor felt quite worn. The bathroom, in particular, was tiny and older than expected. While the old Otis elevator added character, the worn carpets detracted from the overall feel.
Service
6.0
The staff was generally friendly and accommodating, but I found the service a bit slow. For instance, I had to call multiple times to get basic amenities. It felt like some parts of the service were lacking during my stay.
Location
8.0
The location is fantastic and right in the heart of Montecito, making it easy to access shops and restaurants nearby. However, the noise from the traffic was sometimes a nuisance, depending on where my room was situated.
Dining
7.0
I enjoyed the restaurant on-site, which served fresh-baked scones in the morning. Although it was a good dining option, it didn't fully reflect the elegance I expected from the hotel overall.
Facilities
6.0
The hotel offers various facilities such as valet parking and room service, though I found the parking somewhat limited. They charged a resort fee, which felt a bit unnecessary given the lack of some basic amenities.

I had a pleasant stay at the Montecito Inn, with a charming historic vibe and a location that couldn't be beat. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which really added to the overall experience. However, the small room size and thin walls were somewhat of a drawback, as I could hear noise from other guests. Overall, I would rate it positively as a nice boutique hotel.
