The best thing about this hotel is the location. It's fabulous if you are looking for spending most of your time walking around Santa Barbara. The staff was nice, but the rooms were a little out of date. Still, I'd gladly stay here again. More

Whilst this property is conveniently situated for the main shopping street and restaurants, the attitude of the staff was woeful, the accommodation was basic [the sheets were not ironed & the room smelly], the trash is collected in a very noisy manner, seemingly every day well before 7am and I would defy anyone in rooms at the back of the...

The hotel is in a great spot near many restaurants, bars, and shops. It is also a short 10-15 minute walk to the beach and to the urban wine trail. The common areas of the hotel were nice and clean. The room we stayed in may have lacked the luxury of one of the more expensive hotels, but it was... More

If you want to be able to walk State Street to the museums and take a morning stroll on the beach, this is the place to stay. We were only there for two nights midweek, but the staff was accommodating and friendly and valet parking a breeze. My husband and I literally parked our car and walked the rest of... More

I took my wife up to Santa Barbara for her birthday. She'd never been in town before. We took the train from Orange County and were able to walk to the hotel within 10 minutes. The Hotel is right downtown and so close to the Art museum, shops and resturants. The Hotel has a great history and they've updated the... More

This was a wonderful place, old style charm. The room was warm, clean, and tasteful. Right off the street, but I did not hear a sound. Thoughtful touches like signs asking people to respect 'quiet hours' and they did! The guy at the front desk even offered to give me a laptop to use in the room! I LOVED this... More

The Hotel Santa Barbara is a wonderful hotel located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. It is a cross between a "boutique" hotel and a Euro influenced hotel. The location is perfect to enjoy all the shops and restaurants along and near State street. Buyer Beware: The rooms are small, but charming and efficient. They are well planned out... More

My husband and I stayed one night and enjoyed the ambience and feel of this beautiful old and graceful hotel. We were told that the hotel was built in 1926. The lobby, elevator, hallways and rooms harken back to a gentler time when travel was quiet and dignified. We booked the room/dinner package. Our dinner at Bouchon was excellent --... More

Its central location State Street is this hotels best asset. Wondering up and down state street was good fun and this Hotel is well situated for this. It has a good valet parking service. The hotel is getting tired and could do with a refurb soon. Still our bedroom accomodated the four us quite comfortably. The breakfast is served in... More
