"We only stayed one night so we did not use many of the hotel's amenities. The staff were not very eager to offer information. The furniture in the room was old but functionable. We upgraded to an ocean view but could barely see the ocean from our room. The hot water faucet in the bathroom was broken. The room was large and comfortable. We had a nice big patio. The hotel is in a great location across the street from the pier "

"Beautiful surroundings, clean room, complimentary wine during certain hours. Will stay here again! "

"The property hired a good photographer to take its pictures for the booking site, which made us believe the property was a luxury place. We stayed in a suite with 3 rooms and a kitchen. The property itself is old and basic. The rooms were old and nothing special at all. The beds were comfortable. A very small bathroom. Cleanliness was good. Breakfast was terrible. Very basic pastry and apples. We ended up eating elsewherez The staff was very nice and helpful. "

"I was disappointed with my stay …I paid a 5 star rate for a 2 star experience. The was stuffy, no water or amenities other than at the front desk. Not a terrible hotel … just not worth the $$! charged. "

"Everything was great. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the location was close enough to walk to everything but away from any noise. "

" We had a great stay! The continental breakfast was simple but did the job—there were croissants (including ham & cheese), muffins, granola bars, cereal, milk, juice, yogurt, and coffee, which was perfect to start the day. The rooms were clean, and the AC/heating worked really well, making everything comfortable. The property itself felt clean and aesthetically pleasing throughout. There’s both a parking garage and a front lot—it’s a bit tight for larger cars, but we never had trouble finding a spot. It’s a non-smoking property, which we appreciated. While there’s no pool, the location makes up for it. It’s close to the beach, and just a short drive to the wharf and State Street for dining, drinks, and activities. During our stay, we visited Mission Santa Barbara, which was only about a 10-minute drive. We also went to Stearns Wharf—super easy parking and only about 5 minutes from the inn. One of our favorite parts was renting e-bikes and riding all the way to Butterfly Beach. The ride through Channel Drive had stunning views—definitely a highlight of the trip! After our ride, we returned the bikes and ate at Santa Barbara Shellfish Company on the wharf. Highly recommend the bread bowl clam chowder, the cioppino, and the lobster roll—everything was delicious!! State Street also offered great nightlife and tons of dining options. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again! "

"Staff was very helpful, room was clean and spacious. Parking was a little tight. Would definitely stay there again"

"The property was very clean, lovely updated room, and attentive staff. The pool was great. Easy access to the ocean path and a brief walk to local restaurants and shopping. My daughter loved the smores!"

"The property and staff were top notch! I also love the location of the Upham—walking distance to State Street but off the beaten path enough for a quiet vibe. "
