This hotel appeared to be one of the best presented and higher quality hotels in this this quieter area of town. We stayed in a suite that was spacious and well equipped with fridge, sink, microwave, sink - more than comfortable for family of four with teenagers. Pool and reception area was nice, welcome drinks and free coffee and cookies throughout stay nice touch. 5 mins walk to beach, 10 mins walk to State St. and 15 mins to Funk Zone. Felt perfectly safe walking at night so would be put off by location.

The staff was very helpful. Loved the homemade cookies and fruit in the lobby. However, be aware there is no mini fridge in room and only one available ice machine near pool area. We had to take walks serveral times to obtain ice. Bringing home leftovers from various restaurants was not available due to no area to warm them up. This is needed for a hotel who caters to families. Nice walkable distance from the beach, shopping and restaurants.

Mold!! I wish we had noticed earlier. Upon check in the only issues were the floor was a little dirty and the smell of whatever cleaner they use was super STRONG. We opened up the windows and left for the night. When we got back the smell was still strong, with the windows open for 5 hours! I got the kids ready for bed then took a shower, thats when I noticed the mold! It was all over the shower ceiling you could see it under the paint!! The fan in the bathroom barely worked so that is provided why! It was already 10pm and the kids were asleep but we should have left then. The kids are very sensitive to mold and woke up itchy everywhere, sneezing, congested etc. . I was up late worried about staying in the mold, then got woke up at 6am with a delivery truck right infrint of our room making noise for 20 minutes! Paying $350+ per night I did not expect it to be like that. I informed the front desk in the morning and not even a sorry or any concern. They just said that since we didn't book direct they couldn't do anything. So disappointing!!!

We stayed in a king room on the second floor, which felt more spacious with the taller ceilings. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Very clean and comfy with two free alcoholic beverages upon check in, as well as free coffee and cookies available all day. We didn’t get the chance to use the bike rentals or the pool, but enjoyed the short walk to State St and the beach. The neighborhood also felt safe. Only downsides were the shower pressure, sheets and towels were a little scratchy, and it was extra $18 for parking on the premise. Fortunately there was street parking available just keep an eye for street sweeping signs. Overall, we enjoyed our short 2 night stay as we were here for a wedding. This was one of the more affordable options in the area, and we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in SB.

Perfect for UCSB Graduation

Mason Beach Inn was a great place for us to stay for our daughter’s college graduation. It was clean, quiet, and affordable. We could easily walk downtown for food, drinks, and the beach. I would definitely recommend this place!
