"Exceptional"

9.0

The property was in the heart of state street which was so convenient! The staff was also exceptional! Everyone we encountered was so kind, helpful and overall pleasant to encounter which really made our wedding weekend less stressful!

There are some things that are inevitable but it was unfortunate that our room (319) had a clogged shower for 2/4 days we were there, maintenance was called twice and it wasnโ€™t until the second time it was fixed. My sisters room (222) was so humid, it almost felt like the sheets were damp and the fridge in (307) unknowingly & unfortunately did not work and my aunts food ended up spoiling. No issues in 321.

"Lovely small hotel."

10.0

Hotel Santa Barbara is charming, historic, comfortable, friendly and most important, chic. There is a small bar downstairs next to the lobby staffed by attentive employees. It's centrally located on State Street, next to shopping, dining and the pier. It's a gem. The rooms are stylish, comfortable with abundant amenities.

"Hotel Santa, Barbara, simply the best"

10.0

Our stay at the Santa Barbara inn was the best ever. We went there to celebrate our 35th year anniversary and the staff especially Christina and Ami. bartender were Amazing.. unfortunately I got very sick and ended up at the Hospital during our day. They were so accommodating and caring to us. We are going to go back and redo this trip because of my illness. But we stay at the hotel Santa Barbara all the time and highly recommended. Itโ€™s the place you should stay for a fantastic experience.

"We will be back!"

10.0

We had an amazing experience at this hotel! The location is right in the middle of everything and just a short walk to the beach. Biggest perk for us was that the hotel was incredibly dog friendly. They allow pets for no extra fee and even gave us complimentary dog beds and bowls and treats! The entire staff (Maddie, Alex, and Natalie at the front desk) were beyond friendly and accommodating - loved them so much we were happy to interact with them when we saw them on the town. The valet and cleaning staff were also super helpful and very nice. The hotel and rooms itself are tastefully decorated with some beautiful historical touches and the whole place was very clean. There's even a fitness room which we missed on this stay but will most likely be making use of in the future. We booked this hotel through a different website which offered a great deal and we are pleased to report it was well worth it! This will definitely be the home of our future stays in this beautiful town.

"Perfect location, beautiful remodel, friendly staff."

9.0

The remodel of the historic building is beautiful, tasteful and up to date with just enough whimsy. The queen rooms were cozy but not cramped for one person; if I came back with my partner I would book a bigger room. Our family is originally from Santa Barbara so my dad really liked seeing all the historic photos along the hallways, many of which date to his grandparents' time.

OK, this is so small, but my dad asked for change to tip housekeeping and was denied, but when I asked for the same thing somebody went into the back office and found change. There is an ATM in the lobby that spits out $20 bills. It would be a nice practice to keep change on hand and empower desk staff to use it. I think you might see the tips for valets and housekeeping increase, which would make staff and guests happier at no expense to the business.
