Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 1 night, reasonably priced and the room looked recently remodeled. Definitely will be back."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful. The overall experience succeeded our expectations. We enjoyed drinks and appetizers one evening, followed by brunch the next day, and the complementary continental breakfast pastries were delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The property was comfortable and very well maintained with beautiful outdoor seating areas that were perfect for relaxing. The location was another highlight. It was easy to walk to downtown making it convenient to explore the area without needing to drive. The food was great throughout our stay and we truly enjoyed our experience. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Barbara Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, my husband and I were really happy with our stay; the room was very quiet and the staff were friendly. The hotel lobby Starbucks coffeemaker didn't work at least three out of the five days we were there, but alternate arrangements were made and we were never without. During our last night, we discovered we were unable to open the sliding glass door to our balcony, which was a disappointment but we were too lazy to contact anyone about it. Also, the room was not cleaned by the time we needed to get ready for dinner (just after 4:40 pm) and we did not contact housekeeping when we headed out for dinner, so we never got our room cleaned that final night of our stay. So, our only complaints were minor enough that we did not contact management to remedy the situations."
