Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent
"The staff, upon learning it was my birthday, upgraded my room to king size bed, put up a happy birthday sign on the headboard, and left bubbles and chocolate for me as well. A really kind and thoughtful touch that made my stay feel more intimate and personal. All the staff were great and love the new bar 1926. Have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and really love the renovation. Such a great location and all around vibe!"
