9 reviews for Bath Street Inn
We chose this place based on the online reviews, having a king bed, and the price. We stayed in the Partridge Room. The bed was a bit creaky but we slept soundly all night. The standalone tub+shower with encircling curtain felt like being a cocoon, with the afternoon light shimmering in the window.
My favorite part of this place was the breakfast. Yogurt, granola, poached pear with sauce, fresh watermelon cubes, carrot pancakes, homemade muffins that don't weigh you down. Even though I had read about great breakfast places in SB, I never wanted to miss breakfast here.
The afternoon tea and subsequent wine and cheese hour made it more homey, even though the wine and cheese weren't that great. The home made cakes were fabulous, especially the apple based one, not too sweet, very moist. Dinner was in danger.
I disagree that it's within walking distance of downtown State Street, unless you think a 3 mile round trip is comfortable walking distance for dinner.
My wife thought the decor was a bit shabby and too victorian for her taste, and it's location next to a run-of-the-mill apartment building was unfortunate, But these things would not deter her from returning. The comfort, price, and food outweighed those things.
The best thing is the breakfast. They have hand-made granola (trust me, it's good) with a couple of dollops of yogurt. A little fruit. Then they make something special. The first morning was some healthy pancakes with pear syrup. The second was some "mexican" frittata. It is worth staying there just for the breakfast, and then finding something to do for 23 hours waiting for the next one. Being in Santa Barbara, that isn't too hard.
They were very nice and everything was clean as can be. You're right by downtown and the 25 cent bus that goes all the way to the wharf is a nice 6 block walk.
I'm almost embarrassed to have to review the Bath Street Inn. After all, we've been coming to this quaint Santa Barbara bed and breakfast since the early 90's. "Better late than never" must have been coined by a procrastinator. Nevertheless here we are!
Like a few hundred thousand other visitors to this town, Santa Barbara offers us a quick escape for the day or the weekend. When we find the time to come for more than a few hours, there really is no debating where to stay, as The Bath Street Inn, with their friendly innkeepers Marie and Deborah, is as inviting and charming as the town itself.
I struggle to find the right adjective to describe the inn. The word "charming" keeps coming to mind, but there really is no better word to describe this place. Unlike a lot of B&Bs that have a corporate feel to it, the Bath Street Inn embodies the true meaning of bed and breakfast. When the innkeepers greet you in the morning and when you check in, when they serve you breakfast, when they remember your name...that means a lot. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, the location is 2 easy blocks from State Street, there is no distracting traffic noise, and the breakfasts are incredibly satisfying and delicious.
What else is there to say other than it's not a place to stay, but a place to decompress and to remember what it was like before we ever heard the name Hilton.

I booked this place based on positive reviews right here on Yelp. Overall, I was very happy with the experience. My girlfriend and I stayed at the Wisteria room for two nights mid-week and got a decent deal.
Positives: Comfy bed, walking distance to State Street restaurants, friendly and helpful staff, delicious afternoon snacks, pretty flowers and pleasant scenery in patio area, wi-fi connection in room.
Things to be improved: Mediocre breakfast, weak jacuzzi jets, and the water temperature in the shower fluctuated between icy and scalding.

It's a fun, quirky kind of place, but my wife and I loved it. We stayed here for a couple of nights for our first anniversary and it was really nice. Our room was a bit tight, and the bathroom was really tiny, but it had a lot of charm and character. The best feature of our room was our balcony. It was nice to sit, relax, and watch the sunset in peace. Breakfast was great, staff was welcoming and friendly...and we look forward to coming back sometime!

I love this place. The breakfast was great. There was always tea and dessert downstair for us to eat. The only negative was that we couldn't be noisy. Our card game was interupted when our neighbor told us that we were too noisy at 11:30pm. We weren't even that loud.

This place is freaking amazing. I came here with my partner in crime for a birthday weekend. I booked the partridge room which included a back entrance. This place is a victorian style house. It is three stories and it also has a back house which is two stories. We stayed in the front house. The decor of the room is very homey and comfy.
Breakfast is served from 8-9:30am in the dinning room or their backyard patio. It's almost as if you're dining in a restaurant but inside a home. Once you find a spot and sit down someone will greet you and give you a plate setting. The food is homemade and nothing can ever beat homemade cooking. Around 4pm its tea time. They put cookies, cakes, tea and coffee in the dining room area for you to snack on. Around 6pm its wine and cheese time. I tasted the jalepeno cheese and it was good. Usually during breakfast is where you can meet other visitors. Everyone was nice and friendly. The snacks is actually available all night in the dining room. That's my favorite part, I can't miss out on homemade cake. It taste so good every night I had a small bite before bed.
My favorite is Deborah's homemade muffin. It was to die for. She really knows how to baked. It was the talk of the morning Deborah's banana nut muffin.
This is my first time at a bed and breakfast and it was simiilar to staying at hotel with the liesure of coming in and out whenever you felt like it, but the experience of great food and staying in a home-like room makes you want to come here over and over again.

Oh yea one thing to note while you're looking at the room selections. All the names of the rooms matches the type of wallpaper you're going to see.
If you have never tried a Bed and Breakfast place before, I highly recommend this place as your first experience.

I adore Santa Barbara, so last year for a mini-vacation I went up to SB for a couple days of rest and relaxation. I found the Bath Street Inn online and it sounded very quaint, close to State St. with all of its shopping and food places, and laidback. The ladies in charge are very warm and friendly, helpful, hospitable, and make great breakfasts and mid-afternoon treats. My room was a lovely Victorian-style, old-fashioned one, it even had free wifi. It was a short walk to State St. on a peaceful residential street. If you need to escape LA for a bit, I highly recommend SB and Bath Street Inn.

First time to stay in a bath& bed place. It will also be the last time until I'm in my sixties. Light out or no noise after 10pm. Also no ESPN channel.
