Great spot and last minute. Humberto the manager is very attentive and helped with all the check in process. Everything is electronic and coded with automatic locks. Rooms are small but clean and the bed was great for a night. Perfect location and we will stay again.

Our recent stay in the Darcy Room at De La Vina Inn exceeded all expectations. The thoughtful combination of historic charm and modern comfort created an unforgettable experience. The king-sized bed was exceptionally comfortable, but what truly set this room apart was the luxurious bathtub and private terrace overlooking the front garden - perfect for enjoying morning coffee while listening to birds. The inn's location is ideal - we could easily walk to Santa Barbara's fantastic restaurants and attractions, yet the property felt like a peaceful retreat. The garden areas are beautifully maintained and create such a serene atmosphere. We particularly appreciated the secure keycode access system, which made coming and going effortless. What impressed us most was the attention to detail throughout the property. From the cozy common areas to the immaculately kept gardens, every aspect of De La Vina Inn has been carefully considered. The room itself struck a perfect balance between historic character and modern amenities, making our stay both authentic and comfortable. If you're looking for an intimate, charming alternative to larger hotels in Santa Barbara, the Darcy Room at De La Vina Inn is an absolute gem. We're already planning our next visit!

We stayed in the top floor and although the stairs were STEEP to the 3rd floor (almost ladderlike) it was worth it! STUNNING VIEWS from 2 different balconies. Great bathroom. Comfy bed. Even a fireplace in the room!

There should be a way to communicate before you book, that there will not be a person at the Inn to receive you. Instead, you will get a text with a code to the front door and directions to your room. It gives the feel of renting a room in someone's house instead of being a guest at a professional inn. It lacked a warmth that I was expecting for the price. When booking, I requested a late check out and the Inn did not respond with an answer. The cleaning crew was there Sunday morning, which was good because I used the last clean mug for coffee. My room was comfortable and clean.

Lovely property with charming courtyard. Clean room, comfortable bed - stocked with everything we could need. Easy walk to downtown. Safe and peaceful. The key code took a minute to figure out, but then was super convenient. We would be very happy to stay here again!

This place is like the vending machine of hotel stays. It’s completely unmanned 24 hours a day. So, to access your room, you have to go through a cumbersome process of receiving room codes, and they don’t always work. A ghost hotel.

We didn't realize that we would need to use a cell phone for entrance to the property and the room. It was ok, once we got used to it, but we prefer the interaction with staff. The room was pretty small for 2 people and the bathroom was tiny, but it is an older home and beautifully appointed...I realize that is what you get for a property of this era. In our 2 night stay, we saw a house cleaner once; and no other guests or staff.

Deep Gratitude for awesome hospitality. Brighton suit - the only available at the time of reservation - was actually perfect match for my taste and i enjoyed pouring rain at night with scents of blooming plants coming into the room... Thank you for accommodating my requests! I had amazing practice of yoga in the garden... BLESSINGS OF LOVE AND HEALTH TO ALL :)

Property misrepresented the room. Small and worn out. Needs some tlc. Location saved this from a two star review. Walking distance to heart of town.
