When we arrived at 4pm we were told our rooms weren’t ready and we were going to be moved around in order to find a room ready for us. I found it weird at regular check in time they acted surprised we were checking in for the night? We got our keys and when we opened our room door there was already luggage in our room. We called the front desk and spoke with Alex. He told us it was a mix up and somebody would be right up to figure out the situation. We waited over 30 minutes and had to call back 3 times before somebody came up. All of the staff just didn’t seem organized or prepared to hosts guests. It is a beautiful hotel, very clean and great location on state street. I just don’t know that we will be back after how we felt everything was handled.

This has always been one of my favorite hotels in the area. It’s old but extremely well maintained. The historic nature was a huge part of the draw for me when I stayed here the first time years ago. Now they are remodeling and it’s only gotten better. The room refresh is fantastic and feels very modern for amenities while maintaining the historic charm of the building. I can’t wait to see the finished lobby on my next stay. The location is perfect for enjoying SB’s nightlife

$30 a night for Valet is absolutely ridiculous, that is something i was not expecting..... also the hotel smelled like fresh paint, rooms were tiny - before a guest books a room they should be informed of all this.

This hotel is in a very convenient location on State Street, surrounded by many restaurants, bars, and stores. It's a half-mile walk to the beach and Stearns Wharf. The immediate area seems geared towards the collegiate crowd. The hotel was undergoing renovation so the temporary lobby was small. Staff was very friendly.

The Hotel Santa Barbara is being beautifully restored. We took the train and it was an easy walk to the hotel. It is on the State Street Promenade - exceptionally walk able. Restaurants and shopping right outside the door. The bikes were the cherry on top. The only thing I could comment on was that the pillows were too hard, which was minor.

The room was ok, but we were really bummed on the redesign. We stayed at the hotel a few months ago and really liked the spanish style. The finishes are pretty cheap and don’t go together. The tv placement is awkward. The shower water didn’t drain. The bed was fine but the room is not as nice as it was.

We stayed at Hotel Santa Barbara the first week of October ‘24. Remodeling activity was extensive meaning that some floors were totally closed. No bar or restaurant was available either. Location is very good, 6 blocks from the beach and in the middle of shopping and restaurants. The staff were very friendly.
