A one-night stay that turned into plans for another! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re so grateful for our wonderful guests and can’t wait to welcome you back.

"Rooms were awesome! 2 queens with stylish furnishings and comfortable linens. 2 conversation chairs were a nice touch. We stayed for one night. We were aware the lobby was under construction and were expecting worse to be honest, but luckily the staff has it down and we couldn't have had a lovelier one-night stay. I would consider staying for longer next time. Location can't be beat for exploring downtown Santa Barbara and walking to the fun restaurants and shops."

Santa Barbara magic, captured in a guest’s own words. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This was my husband's and my first time exploring the tourist areas of Santa Barbara and this was the perfect location. Very clean inside with lots of cool historical photographs of Santa Barbara decorating the walls. I also loved the beautiful Mexican tiles lining the stairs. It's such a wonderful location, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to during our stay and didn't need our car at all; it's right in the middle of State Street and only about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. The room was cozy and clean and I absolutely loved the little details like pour-over coffee, a reusable water bottle with directions to a water station down the hall, and alarm clocks with built-in sound machines to drown out the nightlife outside. The bed was really comfortable and I got great sleep. Perfect for a romantic getaway and also a place I'd be happy to take a family vacation as well. Friendly staff, careful valets, and an easy breezy check-in. We will definitely be back."

Coffee’s always a good idea, especially when it’s premium, locally-roasted Zaca Coffee. Enjoy a pour-over in your room or explore their weekend trailer in the Funk Zone for a variety of delicious options. Either way, you’re in for seriously good coffee.

"We recently visited Santa Barbara for the first time, moving our daughter to UCSB. We booked this hotel because of its location downtown. We were NOT disappointed! The location was perfect - in the middle of downtown bars, shops, eateries, and walking distance to the beach. The room was just remodeled clean and spacious. Of all the positives the STAFF wins out. ... We, along with 4 other couples, are already booking another stay with them in March. By then they hope to have a new lobby and lobby bar. A great place getting better. This is our Santa Barbara Hotel from here on out!!"
