A nice but not great hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. The hotel has some good facilities (parking - for a fee, gym, bar and restaurant). The location is good for exploring downtown and the beach (bike, or a 25 min walk). We had some issues with noise outside the room in the early mornings; one day due to a delivery, the other due to an unhoused person. The room was nice but the bathroom lacks any kind of sound proofing or even a solid door... It was also missing robes, coffee/kettle (though they were available on request) so felt not quite up to the usual Kimpton standard. But overall would recommend, just not a *great* hotel for the price

The hotel was beautiful, safe and clean. The staff are very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The rooftop pool area is small but was a welcome retreat on a hot day. The rooms are large and clean with comfortable beds. We would definitely recommend and would return to the hotel when visiting Santa Barbara again in the future.

Really enjoyed our stay, we brought along our 110lb pitbull mix & they’re were very welcoming were most places would not be. Everything from the room to the rooftop events were great! Really enjoyed the location, close to state street but on the quieter side of things.

This is a great hotel. The rooms are on the small side, but otherwise no complaints. Pool area is quiet and has a great view. It’s right in downtown with so many shops and restaurants in walking distance. I will stay here every time I come to SB.

It's a beautiful property, perfect for a getaway. The ambiance is quiet, and the room decor is both unique and in good taste. We had a balcony room, which faced the street. While the beach isn't within walking distance and we had to take Ubers to get there, the overall experience was still delightful. The pool area is amazing—warm, inviting, and enhanced by a fireplace for the evening, making it just perfect.
