Santa Barbara hotellia

Plussat: Great old property with lots of character. Lovely setting, fantastic gardens. Very welcoming staff, friendly. Spotlessly clean Would definitely recommend. We were on a family holiday visiting from the UK. The hotel had an English vibe going on.

Plussat: The place was beautiful and well maintained. The room was clean and equipped and had everything that a room should have (iron, hairdryer, coffee machines, fridge etc). Breakfast was awesome and one of the serving staff Sue was so nice and friendly. Everything was perfect

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The service was impeccable. Like staying with family... The included breakfast and snacks were thoughtful and delicious. The perfect romantic getaway. Highest recommendations!

Miinukset: Having to leave.

Plussat: Amazing hotel. Great place, beautiful gardens, super peaceful. Amazing service, luxurious finishes, they can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend it!

Plussat: If you need a place to take a deep breath and relax, Simpson House Inn is it. From our personal greeting when we arrived until we said good-bye, the friendly staff catered to our every need. Hedges surround the secluded Victorian home making it a true get-away. The room was beautifully decorated with antiques, meticulously clean, and very comfortable. The pillows and bedding were first-class and made for an excellent night’s sleep. The complimentary Kiehl’s bath and body products made getting clean delightful. At our romantic table for two on the veranda we were served amazing vegetarian breakfasts (banana pancakes were my favorite) on cherished family china. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a few too many of the fresh-baked cookies. The evening Hors d’oeuvres were truly delectable. We like good food – and we were not disappointed! In-between eating, we spent time sitting in the beautiful garden, listening to the soothing fountain, and admiring the sprawling Oak Tree. We strolled downtown, walked through nearby parks, visited a museum, and drove to Solvang. Our stay was a trip back in time, yet with all of the modern comforts – including Wi-Fi, television and a mini-fridge. Thank you Simpson House for the perfect vacation.

Plussat: Our stay exceeded our expectations! The room and property were in great condition and the service was very good. They made a great effort to welcome guests offering small details throughout our stay (e.g. free wine & cheese, activities recommendations, gift at exit)

Miinukset: Nothing to flag really

Plussat: Loved the night time cookies. The room was great. The lawns outside to lounge in during the day were also wonderful

Miinukset: The Airconditioning in the room didn’t function so well.

Plussat: During our 3,5 weeks of travelling through California this was the most special hotel we had. Breakfast was served on the patio/veranda and was so romantic.

Miinukset: When we got back after dinner, the central door was locked. So we had to wait untill another guest let us in. But the owners solved this now by using a codelock

Plussat: Excellent location and super attention to everu little detail, 100 per cent recommend. Cheese and wine superb

Miinukset: If you stay in Parlor room you can hear footsteps of people above

Plussat: Pretty much everything! The grounds are beautiful! Lots of little places to sit and chat or read. The breakfasts and wine/snack time were delicious! Great location close to State Street where there are great restaurants and shopping. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Tack Room and found it comfortable and roomy enough for 2. Loved having a fireplace!

Plussat: Everything was perfect and exceed our expectations

Plussat: Period property very nicely appointed, great attention to detail. The food was excellent!

Miinukset: A bit noisy as floorboards were creaky but to be expected in a period property

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Took the time to orientate us about the city. Informed about different dining options, shopping etc. One of them even lend her visor for sun. Thank you, ladies. Katherine

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, really made us feel welcomed.

Miinukset: Extra spare towels in the room would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.

Plussat: A cozy pet friendly setting , the cottage was darling, I could live there all summer

Plussat: Everything Location facilities cleanliness

Miinukset: No swimming pool was the only downside

Plussat: Very clean rooms, friendly staff and best location (close to downtown and beach), thank you!

Plussat: Everything was outstanding. Greeted with enthusiasm and treated like an extra special guest. Gorgeous grounds. Suite reflected attention to detail and comfort. Excellent parking. Safe neighborhood and wonderful proximity to beach and amenities. Will go again !

Plussat: Cute outside and nice staff

Plussat: I felt very comfortable being in a place so cozy ,welcome and comfortable which is located in a walking distance from the beach and the restaurants.They gave us enough information about the city and the activities around .It will definitely be my first choice at my future vacations .Thank u

Plussat: A warm greeting from Tony, immaculate cleaning, wonderfully laid out room, a special addition was the full kitchen and the fireplace. For entertainment a DVD player with a wide selection of DVDs . And last but not least adequate parking.

Miinukset: The ability to communicate with a greater audience the wonderful accommodations at the Beach House Inn.

Plussat: Such a cute place, close to the beach and downtown. Staff was lovely and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Cleaners were amazing!

Miinukset: Nothing, the owner has thought of every little detail and made us feel so welcome :)

Plussat: the hotel is amazin, very clean and the location is really good

Miinukset: the swimming pool is too small and the rate was high for the night we stayed

Plussat: Staff is incredible. They makes you everything easy. Roof pool and spa is great!!!. Location marvellous

Plussat: Loved the location and decor

Plussat: Staff really kind, make you feel at home. Location is great and the roof pool space awesome

Plussat: Awesome room. Clean, comfy, large.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, superb location, especially loved the rooftop pool and sunbeds. Spotlessly clean, room had everything I could ask for (Nespresso machine etc). Balcony faced a car park (!) but was fairly quiet. Breakfast a bit odd - you get sent to a cafe across the street - but good.

Miinukset: On the first night there was a fire alarm. It was extremely loud. The guests ran outside. No one knew what was going on. It stopped. Two minutes later it started again. Finally a member of staff turned up and told everyone to go back to bed. My kids were freaked out (it was incredibly noisy). What irked me was that nobody ever said "hey sorry about the alarm last night", or anything like that. When I checked out, they said how was it, I said it was fantastic... although the alarm experience was quite traumatic for my kids. The staff member goes, "Yes, anything else?' I don't get that. Even it was triggered by a guest rather than kitchen (who knows) I feel that good service at a good hotel involves at least saying "sorry about that particular experience".

Plussat: Rooms were very well appointed - bathroom was outstanding

Miinukset: Price!

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful and the location is perfect. At the beach and close to the town.

Plussat: Great hotel. Excellent location. Great roof top pool and lounge area.

Plussat: Bedroom, Clean, pool area and location.

Miinukset: fire alarm at 2am and nobody explained anything next day or offer an excuse. We were with a child of 2 years awake at the reception of the hotel.

Plussat: The room was ample, modern and had a high ceiling with a great balcony with partial view to the ocean and also a direct view to the animated street. Also made it available to our baby a modern crib, which assisted us in having a peaceful night of sleep.

Plussat: Location, rooms and service were fantastic.

Miinukset: Nothing, loved it.

Plussat: It was so nice to have breakfast included. I would have preferred less options with a higher quality. ex: crossaints only from a local bakery or muffins only from a local bakery.

Miinukset: We loved everything about our stay. It was the highlight of our vacation. We traveled from Petaluma to San Diego for vacation with our 3 small children. We have already recommended it to a friend who is planning a trip to Santa Barbara in October.

Plussat: Charming architecture, fireplace, bathtub.

Miinukset: A few times went down to the front desk and no one was there. Had to wait a while.

Plussat: Everything was absolutely wonderful...Felt like we were actually in Spain.

Miinukset: Wifi in our room was "iffy" but not a big issue.

Plussat: Another great property hidden away in SB. A little more family oriented but the rooms were wonderful and very comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing to note.

Plussat: Quiet, comfortable and beautiful property, with friendly staff

Plussat: Staff very friendly and attentive. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Plussat: Staff is all very friendly and helpful. Location is great, walked to State Street, restaurants and shopping. Also beach, wharf and Funk Zone is walkable distance.

Miinukset: Pricey, but then Santa Barbara is overall.

Plussat: Very quaint, clean and comfortable,

Plussat: Very pleasant hotel with comfortable rooms and extremely helpful staff. Would go back again.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Pretty patio. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Happy hour food very skimpy. Refused to refill cheese platter when it was almost empty. Shower floor slippery. Need rubber mat. I don’t appreciate $25. to self park.

Plussat: Friendly staff, beautiful gardens.

Miinukset: Breakfast was low quality and could easily be improved. Bathroom shower area needs maintenance.

Plussat: We loved the room, the location and the hotel patio

Plussat: Everything was amazing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything about this place is immaculate. The service is very personal and top notch. The room was spotless and extremely comfortable.

Plussat: Good food, atmosphere and customer service.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: Service from valet, to waiters to desk people all great. Massage therapist, food all excellent. Views from restaurant lovely. Lobby very pretty. Access to beach nice. Excellent bedding.

Miinukset: Room was way overpriced w no view. Needs remodel. Couldn’t get a late check out on Sunday. Kind of bummer to pay 1300 a night before tax for 400sqft one room nothing special. If you come here, better off getting normal room for 900. Or I suppose a bungalow would be special. They offer room upgrade at huge discount, so I suggest upgrade after booking cheeped room.

Plussat: Loved the jungle view from the room .Awesome lobby place with nice bar providing private cabana . Huge location of plants .Anazing sounds of birds and ocean .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The ambiance was amazing. Perfect location with a very helpful, friendly staff.

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Plussat: The landscaping, ocean view, location. Pool and spa

Miinukset: The room hallways in building we stayed in could use a remodel

Plussat: One of the most stunning hotel grounds- lush and well maintained. Great for a weekend getaway!

Miinukset: Products in bathrooms could be improved

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful of course. The location is legendary. The grounds are very nice and the staff is attentive although they dropped the ball on an important but easy request they’d agreed to.

Miinukset: I can’t believe how overpriced this place is for the room you get. I’ve stayed in so many incredible places at half the cost, but you pay for the name and a not very special room. That’s just the experience you sign up for.

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: Charges upon charges.... additional $15 per hr per bike was overboard after all the other charges. Great place but very expensive. Simple breakfast for two roughly $100 without alcohol.

Miinukset: arrived at 4:30 our room was not available until 6 pm

Plussat: Great location and setting. Very peaceful and relaxing yet still close to activities and the town.

Miinukset: Ended up in a room with two double beds vs. preferred room with King. The parking/valet situation is also difficult and slow.

Plussat: Staff was helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: Upon arrival, the room given to us was overlooking a huge construction dumpster. We requested a different room, and were reassigned.

Plussat: Loved the bed.

Miinukset: The television went out yesterday & we had no TV from the afternoon on. I like falling asleep with the tv & I couldn’t do that. Very frustrating

Plussat: Everything, the entire resort is so peaceful and beautiful. Room is spacious, great amenities, beautiful bathrooms. Lovely breakfast, amazing pool- place is just stunning.

Plussat: Consistency , we have been here many times and never disappointed. The location is wonderful. Great views and places to walk. The pool is very relaxing and the food good. We were above teh cloud at the beach enjoying the sun. Staff is always on top of things!

Plussat: Location is perfect! The views are sublime. The architecture of the resort is really lovely. Everything is about comfort- if I could ship my bed home, I would. All of the food is perfect. The staff addresses me with my name which is appreciated.

Miinukset: For me, this is an indulgence as the price is high. But, it is a memorable experience and well worth it.

Plussat: It is simple. Every employee at the hotel did what they could to make our stay fantastic! Everyone!

Miinukset: nothing!

Plussat: Pool and the service at pool, (Mike) exceptional. Room, decor, ambience, bathroom. Terrace for dining. Overall staff very attentive.

Miinukset: Restaurant, menu kitchen could be better. Didn't dislike, but not up to hotel experience.

Plussat: Quiet, clean, great staff

Plussat: Stunning location perched high above Santa Barbara Our bungalow was a short walk from main house through beautifully kept gardens A very calm relaxing vibe

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This is an "experience" somewhat old school resort that puts you in an environment of staff knowing your name, attentive without hovering, interesting mix of guests from around the world. On site food is good, nice pool with service. The 90 rooms and bungalows are unique....don't count on anticipated ocean view but it doesn't matter as the grounds are lush with brick trails etc. Baths with deep soaking tubs plus ceiling shower. Quality update with tasteful furnishing, great beds, wood flooring. Pet friendly enen on portion of dining patio. You will know you got away from it all when you are here.

Miinukset: Pet friendly but only 2 remote sites to place pooper bags.

Plussat: Very serene, clean and staff was impeccable!!!

Miinukset: Loved the property. Just wish the property had a Hot Tub in the Spa to enjoy before/after the Massage I immensely enjoyed...

Plussat: I loved the classical music, the daily 5pm wine, the location was perfect, the beautiful garden and courtyard, the upgraded room, very quiet, pretty balcony, reading the guest journals, floral wallpaper, comfortable bed, friendly staff, I liked talking to Louise, Andrea was nice too and the Alice in Wonderland theme was charming. I will definitely be back as soon as I'm able.

Miinukset: It was tricky getting out of the parking lot because Chapala is a one way street but that can't really be helped. I wish if Santa Barbara were a little more affordable to visit but again that cannot be helped.

Plussat: The property was immaculate!! Beautiful setting and very helpful staff. We will definitely stay here again!

Plussat: The room was nice & the location great. Breakfasts & Happy Hour were wonderful..Staff was friendly & attentive.Gounds & landscaping beautiful. Hope to return for another delightful stay. Nice neighborhood, quiet & close to restaurants & shops.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Lovely happy hour snacks and breakfast offerings.

Plussat: Welcoming arrival and lovely breakfast. Place has lots of character. There are nice touches like leaving brownies in the evening.

Miinukset: Not something I didn’t like but location is away from the main town a mile or so. So easier to drive than walk.

Plussat: We loved the house, our clean room (we also got an upgrade into a larger room) and the beautiful garden! The breakfast was amazing, including cheese and ham (which is hard to find for breakfast in the US), eggs, fresh fruits and yoghurt. The staff was always friendly and helpful and the communication via email was easy and perfect. We would definitely come again!!

Miinukset: Nothing :-)

Plussat: The property was excellent. Exactly like the photos and descriptions online. The wine hour and breakfast were first class and everyone we spoke to was very help. We were made to feel very welcome and the whole experience had a touch of class.

Plussat: Comfortable bed Good views and windows 10 min walk to downtown Nice staff Great backyard and breakfast area Nice furniture in the house but not in the room

Miinukset: Breakfast was mediocre No desk in the room More attention to detail needed Bathroom is very small and needs a lot of work

Plussat: The host was a blast, gave us nice recommendations, very kind. The breakfast was good, but you have to check their snack at 5 p.m., delicious isn't enough. The property is lovely, 30 minutes away from the beach (you can take the free shuttle), but only 5 minutes from the first shops. I can only recommend everyone to go there!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location, staff were very helpful, super clean. Breakfast was really good as well as the wine in the evenings.

Plussat: I liked how fast it was to Check in and out

Miinukset: For the price you pay for the hotel per night the breakfast highly unsatisfactory. I was literally shocked that the kitchen was closed in the morning. The coffee was in thermoses and was cold. The service was really bad in the morning and the open buffet was the worse I’ve ever had in all my travels. It was the minimal you could ever get for a continental breakfast. It was as if I was at a two star hotel. For the amount you pay per night , it’s just unacceptable.

Plussat: It is a beautiful property and extremely well maintained. Very exclusive feeling yet easy going. Room was wonderful! Staff were really great.

Miinukset: "Continental" breakfast is an embarrassment to this establishment. It is something you would find in a backpackers! This will count against them in every sense for anyone from Europe or relayed territories. I want to tell them to go to South Africa to city lodge to learn the very simple inexpensive yet thoughtful style is what a continental breakfast looks like... (They are not even European and know how to do it!) Disappointing end but still a great hotel.

Plussat: the location, the architecture, the staff, the comfy bef!

Miinukset: needed non-sugar protein at breakfast, maybe some hard boiled eggs and plain yogurt

Plussat: Fairly luxurious. Very comfortable beds, immaculate, all staff members very welcoming , well appointed rooms, beautiful plants in all common areas, hallways very nice touch!

Miinukset: Breakfast only very average, maybe offer more interesting options-

Plussat: Great location, just at the beach. Nice room, comfortable big bed, helpful staff. Absolutly recommended!

Miinukset: Breakfast contains only sweet pastries, no real choices.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Staff was very disorganized. Room was not ready until 6pm when check in was at 4pm. Not a good way to start off our stay.

Plussat: Everything about this hotel is amazing. The staff were really friendly, the hotel is clean and has spacious rooms, and you can’t beat the location. The beach is just across the street, you can even hear the waves splashing.

Miinukset: Lovely hotel, perfect location, large rooms, loved every minute of it. One constructive comment would be to add a full length mirror in the rooms...

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast Buffet was a complete joke, as store bought bagels were still slightly frozen and selection was severely lacking. Plus since we had three rooms, I asked if we could get a late checkout in just one room, so we could stroll along waterfront. Immediate response was no without checking with any of her supervisors to see if they could accommodate my request. SO SAD when a hotel is blessed with a great location and quality construction and yet is staffed by indifferent millennials who have no clue on what makes a hotel great.

Plussat: The Bedding was excellent, the view was great. The food was well presented

Miinukset: We wanted coffee in our Room.

Plussat: Boutique hotel very quaint, perfect location, spacious rooms!

Miinukset: Breakfast could be improved... it is a little expensive - but it is Santa Barbara

Plussat: The rooms are spacious and very well furnished. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel generally is very well maintained, very nicely decorated and rather pleasant.

Miinukset: As others have commented it is little far from downtown (like Hilton, Hyatt etc) so just be prepared to walk 20mins or grab the shuttle which isn’t very regular. If no kids then it’s fine. With kids they drag their feet a little !

Plussat: Liked everything, nice clean place, staff very nice breakfast delicious the cakes are the best.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, with friendly hosts. Breakfast was phenomenal. So much nicer than a hotel.

Plussat: The quaint balcony room was cozy and unique. Staff were friendly and food was good.

Miinukset: Maybe could have been offered more food as option at breakfast.

Plussat: This was our third stay at this property, which is comfortable, convenient and reasonably priced. We enjoy Santa Barbara, sunset on Stearn's Pier, and the many find restaurants.

Plussat: Loved everything. The desserts were amazing (the ones we tried) and the location was perfect for our situation. We were able to walk to the restaurant where our concert was and walk back at night without any problems

Plussat: It's a beautiful place, comfortable accommodation and very polite staff. They offer an excellent breakfast in a really beautiful backyard.

Miinukset: The bathroom is too small. In case you need to get a rest during the day, is not the most indicated place to do it, cause the sound outside the accomodation can be easy listened inside the room. If you have much luggages and your room is in the second floor, it'd be a problem!

Plussat: The food was delicious.

Miinukset: That I had to go around to the front door to just get a glass of water at night.

Plussat: Character, quiet. Close to town and the wharf.

Plussat: Kaunis sisustus, mukava sänky, erinomainen aamiainen

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Breakfast was awesome & more than I normally eat. My room was spotless with a balcony & nice view

Miinukset: I had Susan’s Loft ... great room but on 3rd floor . This would have been fine if my suitcase was lighter Location not exactly downtown. I arrived late so I took an Uber ($7). Showed it to be a 15 min walk

Plussat: Comfortable beds Friendly girl helped us very well with everything we asked. Clean

Miinukset: Bathroom is small.

Miinukset: Really disappointed. Our very expensive room should have been a storage space. If you were an 8 or 9 year old, maybe you would have liked it.

Plussat: The home like feel, the charm of the place and Dominic the Owner. She cared for you like you were one of her family!

Miinukset: That we could not stay longer!

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast, with fresh quiche and scones- it was a great and relaxing way to start the day. Off street parking also helped It was fun to sit in the garden in the evening, watching the humming birds

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage and it was great for a family. Lovely breakfast in garden where other bedrooms were.

Plussat: Home made breakfast by French owner was fabulous

Miinukset: Noisy pump from hot tub

Plussat: Lovely setting, made very welcome by owner, facilities excellent could not choose as lovelier place

Miinukset: No negatives at all

Plussat: Lovely rooms fabulous breakfast.

Miinukset: No tea/coffee in the room

Plussat: Beautiful B&B with lovely room and garden area to relax in. Excellent home-cooked breakfast served in garden and delicious brownies left out every evening. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Plussat: Nice B&B breakfast is wonderful and the rooms cosy and clean. the gardens are nice to sit and rest after a long day.

Plussat: A very surprising experience. A small 'village' of cottages in a wonderfull exotic garden. The french owner Dominique has establish a little bit of France in Santa Barbara. Her breakfast was a delight, including Dominique's French recipe quiches, omelets, fresh-baked scones, muffins, sweet breads, fresh fruit, coffee, tea and juices.

Plussat: Loved this place. The host Dominique was welcoming and gracious. Our room was spacious and quiet with a private bathroom.

Plussat: The cottage was super comfy and felt like home from home. As a host, Dominique was so warm & welcoming, and we really enjoyed all the chats with her. Great place to come, relax and enjoy a different pace of life, with a French twist :)

Plussat: great location, they made me a special breakfast due to my allergies

Miinukset: our room was in the main house and right next to the kitchen, can get a bit noisy from guests.

Plussat: Location, Pool, jacuzzi, and wine with cheese every day at 5 (even though the white wine was ridiculously diluted!)

Miinukset: The bathroom is really old and needs remodeling. It's really hot in the bathroom as well, since the AC only blows in the room. There are cracks around the door, so the light and heat are coming in from the outside. The curtain is cut around the AC, so the light is coming in also through the window. The matress was not comfortable (cheap) and the pillows appear fluffy, but they flatten immediately when you lay on them, thus, no head support.

Plussat: Very close to the beach, staff was very attentive

Miinukset: Bathrooms need updates

Plussat: Truly excellent location. Super friendly staff, very accommodating and quick to respond. Breakfast and wine and cheese in the afternoon were included. Pool and jacuzzi were clean and good size. We had a wonderful time.

Plussat: The location is great, the hotel also arranged free bikes for a few hours and paddle boarding.

Miinukset: Quite expensive

Plussat: loved everything about it

Plussat: Beds extremely comfortable, balcony and location fantastic. Staff pleasant enough. Self service laundry facility was helpful for us, no restriction times for kids in the pool which again worked very well for us.

Miinukset: The AC could have been a bit more efficient and the fruit at breakfast didn't taste fresh mainly.

Plussat: great staff feel welcome

Plussat: Love the location and the breakfast and wine and cheese Happy Hour. Always stay here when in Santa Barbara. Recommend it to all my friends. Expect to stay there again over the years.

Plussat: I liked the look location. View of the harbor. The room was clean. The continental breakfast was ok. The wine and cheese was good. The pool was nice. 300 a night was a little expensive but comparible to surrounding hotels and you can park your own car not pay 35 to have someone park your car wich alot of hotels do around this area. All in all a great time. We could just park the car and walk to restraints beach and to watch the boats plus I believe you can take out a bike there for a couple hours.

Miinukset: The price this way we could of spent two nights.

Plussat: Fabulous location. We actually enjoyed just about everything at this property.

Miinukset: The only thing that was a slight issue was the air conditioning. It was challenging to get just right and was a bit noisy. Other than that, we were quite pleased with everything about this inn. Comfortable beds, very pleasant staff, evening wine and cheese and breakfast.

Plussat: Close to the beach close the restaurant

Miinukset: Parking

Plussat: Very comfortable setting, great location steps to the beach and harbor. Loved the pool and evening wine and cheese spread. Would stay here again.

Plussat: Very clean, quite, close to gasoline station and supermarket, also close to beach, very nice staff.

Plussat: Liked the apartment like setting and outside entrance. Worked well for an active toddler!

Miinukset: Pool was cold.

Plussat: Fantastic room the Dolphin Suite, continental breakfast was lovely and afternoon snacks, all of the staff were great, free bike hire was a great bonus. 100% recommend!

Plussat: Service was perfect

Miinukset: Very old room furniture

Plussat: Very good location - a short walk from the beach/restaurants Very friendly staff A nice touch was the free coffee and cookies & pastries in the lobby in the evening

Miinukset: rooms were a little dark For what is a motel it is pricey

Plussat: The hotel is conveniently located to the harbor, funk zone and downtown. The staff was accommodating, very nice and helpful. The facilities were clean and very comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to return.

Plussat: Superb place for families looking for a beach getaway in the lovely Santa Barbara. The staff were first rate professionals with a warm heart. They were most knowledgeable and helpful. The property was most welcoming, clean and charming. I look forward to returning here!

Plussat: Super cute hotel 2 blocks from the beach. They are very warm and welcoming and have amazing hospitality. Wine and cheese hour every evening and fresh baked cookies and milk every night. Great free breakfast in the morning too. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Location was excellent. Nice size room. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was a nice touch to set you up for the day.

Miinukset: Very expensive for one night considering LA for 2 nights in 4 star hotel was cheaper and San Francisco for 3 nights in 4 star hotel was more or less the same price. Bathrooms need updating.

Plussat: Everyone was so nice! Aron checked us in and he was just like the nicest guy! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! It was a birthday trip for my daughter's second birthday and Aron and all of the staff were beyond exceptional!

Miinukset: There wasn't anything we didnt like. Everyone who works at the hotel was exceptional. They had great amenities and cute little things throughout the day that they offered. Free breakfast, fruit and cheese happy hour and milk and cookies in the evening. We walked to the beach (it wasn't far) as well as other places like restaurants. It's around the corner from a great inexpensive mexican restaurant and its super close to a grocery store.

Plussat: I had an outstanding service in this hotel! The man at the front desk was super friendly and all the other staff! They do really take care of you and make you feel special ! The room was nice and clean and the hotel just looks great!

Miinukset: Not sure if there’s anything I didn’t like!

Plussat: Excellent location close to the beach and the pier. Staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful in giving recommendations as to where to go and eat. Room was very clean and the small touches such as cheese in the afternoon were greatly appreciated!

Miinukset: Room a bit dated.

Plussat: Location was great, room was spacious and clean. Plenty of room and lovely furnishings. Very close to the beach and State St.

Miinukset: Very nice property. Would definitely stay there again when we visit Santa Barbara.

Plussat: Location, room size, cleanliness.

Miinukset: The toilet would refill every 6 minutes or so. It needs maintenance

Miinukset: All was good...front desk attendant was like a military general...too stern...not welcoming

Plussat: Spacious with door to own private courtyard

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Nice room. Helpful staff. Great location

Miinukset: Air conditioning didn't work but the staff found a temporary fix.

Plussat: The room was clean and comfortable. The location in proximity to places to eat and to shop was good

Miinukset: So of all the places I stayed on my trip along the highway this was my least favorite. The location was fine. But I felt that how the hotel was pictured on the internet was misleading. Also one bedroom was too hot to sleep in comfortably. The unit had two window air conditioners it needed 3.

Plussat: Nicely decorated room Close to harbor/beach

Miinukset: ‘Continental breakfast’ was a muffin and coffee No microwave in room

Plussat: The decor and the addition of a filtered water spout in the bathroom was very nice. The wardrobe was spacious, and it had a large refrigerator. The staff was welcoming and the coffee was acceptable. Just blocks from the harbor and I could walk easily to the beach, the funk zone and downtown.

Miinukset: The bed was a bit firm for my tastes, but lots of pillows made it comfy enough.

Plussat: Room was decorated nice and very comfortable. Nice to park right outside my room.

Plussat: Front desk was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: It is right in the center of the city.

Miinukset: Very overpriced, considering the shabby accommodations provided.

Plussat: The character & staff

Miinukset: Loved everything

Plussat: The staff and rooftop-pool, as well as the restaurant made this place one of the best hotel-stays we’ve ever had. They organised wine-tastings with live music, making it even more special. Our day by the pool, topped with dinner at Finch and Fork, was the quintessential relaxing day.

Miinukset: Nothing bad at all!

Plussat: The bed.

Miinukset: Very small room poor service way overpriced hidden charges not worth the money at all .

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating, knowledgable and kind.

Plussat: Beautiful space, great location

Miinukset: Could not sleep because the internal ceiling fan broke in the bathroom and kept making a whirring/clicking sound all night. When I told the front desk in the morning, they said all they could do was refund the facility fee. Not acceptable.

Plussat: The beautiful four-poster bed and other room decor were lovely. The staff was always there to help — never had to wait, and they were very kind and friendly toward my dog always.

Miinukset: The website misrepresented what was available in a way — for example for morning coffee there was a picture of a beautiful latte, but it turned out to be just big canisters for self serve. The bathtub on the site was free standing and deep, but at the hotel was just an ordinary tub. The pool was also only three feet deep, so better for children than adults.

Plussat: Bed. Coffee facility.

Miinukset: Full sized bath. Too noisy overlooking entrance. Breakfast restaurant was unacceptably poor - treated like an outside customer who hasn’t made a reservation. Gave up and went elsewhere. Choice of healthy breakfast options also poor. Undermined whole impression of the hotel.

Plussat: The atmosphere, morning coffee, and decoration

Miinukset: Parking was expensive

Plussat: The staff was exceptional and the location was perfect. We are at the restaurant and the food was excellent!

Plussat: Good price for value because of the unique features. The native artistry of the mosaic walls, gorgeous furniture coupled with the top floor pool with panoramic views creates a beautiful experience. Where can you find these features of a hotel to compare? Not to mention an excellent bar restaurant on the first floor providing even more for a hotel guest so I definitely recommend Kimpton Canary of Santa Barbara.

Miinukset: A partial view of the parking lot was a bit of downer, but did have a city view. Honestly, there is not much to see from the balconies of this hotel. If I paid more for the Juliet Balconies, then I would experience the intersection with a better city view. Mixed feelings if it is worth it . . . Difficult to stay inside a hotel room in Santa Barbara because there is so much to offer outside!

Plussat: The staff was really friendly and the beds were soft! I love the location of The Canary, as well!

Miinukset: I was sick the whole trip but other than that, I have no complaints.

Plussat: Super quaint all around. Antique Clean & Classic. Robin at check helps make a wonderful first impression. Great (& pretty) walking to fun restaurants & bars. We would stay here again

Miinukset: It was unusually hot the day of our stay. Unfortunately the ac wall unit would only stay on for 15 minute intervals, which made for restless not quite comfortable sleep, as it needed to be manually turned on.. every time. (& then would keep shutting off) it was set to 64... but was definitely far hotter in our room & there was no fan . A glitch that would have been addressed better had we stayed more than 1 night.

Plussat: It's a beautiful, well-maintained, historic hotel with cottages and outbuildings surrounding a lovely lawn and garden area. Many verandas, a gazebo, scattered lawn chairs invite quiet reading or friendly conversations. Breakfast buffet interesting and filling. Wine and cheese snacks available every afternoon from 4-6pm. The staff members are friendly, competent and welcoming. The atmosphere is ultra comfortable but not snooty or glamorous.

Plussat: Great property. Would love it to go back again soon. Staff was very helpful too.

Miinukset: Parking was a little limited but not an issue in my head.

Plussat: A lovely historic old property but in beautiful condition! Rooms are large and classic style with high ceilings and quality furnishings! Brekkie is not extensive but all you could ask for! Lovely al fresco dining balcony!

Miinukset: Only negative was the early morning noise levels from the street, with trash being emptied into trucks! This was due to being situated in the Lincoln building. Try to avoid this complex if you have an option.

Plussat: Great property in a great location. Wonderful staff.

Plussat: Perfect match for grown-ups on State Street in Austin. Victorian, main house w/ reception & restaurant, rooms in separate buildings, but faithful, older victorian buildings. Tall rooms, updated baths. Slept in, so it must have been good..

Miinukset: I liked most everything.

Plussat: The very comfortable seating areas around the garden are delightful, a quiet respite close to busy State St.

Plussat: i asked for a quiet room and they gave it to me!A wonderful, comfortable

Plussat: Great location. About the spend time with friends outside area

Plussat: This vintage hotel was charming, clean and centrally located to activities in Santa Barbara's downtown area. The complimentary breakfasts were well prepared with a variety of items. Complimentary parking was in an area where your car was safe. Good value.

Plussat: The location.

Miinukset: Crackerbox sized room for which we paid over $350 including taxes. Motel 6 would have been an upgrade.

Plussat: The place itself is always lovely.

Miinukset: The inability to arrange an early check-in.

Plussat: good central location

Miinukset: outlets on beside.

Plussat: Cleaniness - efficient staff. Simple continental breakfast. Great location to access Santa Barbara - Ventura. Impressed!

Plussat: nice location, nice staff

Miinukset: Kids kept running back and forth in front of our room, so we had to close our window and curtains, so couldn’t enjoy the weather or the view. Also, very limited continental breakfast. Almost better not to have one, or slightly improve it

Plussat: The Coast Village Inn is located in a high end area of Santa Barbara with the beach very close by. The room is spacious and very clean. The sofa bed is comfy and wide enough for 2 adults. The pool is heated, clean and a fantastic treat if you’re doing a road trip like us. The included continental breakfast is great with lots of offer to suit everyone. Downtown Santa Barbara is 15 minutes on a local bus either no 14 or 20 and costs $ 1.75 per person. When we visited in early August there was a festival on which had great atmosphere and live music. Wish we could have had longer here.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great rate for the room, staff is friendly, over all very good.

Miinukset: The Jacuzzi and pool could stand to be updated. Still very acceptable.

Plussat: We enjoyed the accessibility to restaurants within walking distance.

Miinukset: We did NOT enjoy the train speed by blowing its horn throughout the night (the earplugs can’t hide that), the towels had weird pinkish stains on them and the paper thin walls allowed you to hear everything your neighbors are saying/doing. All in all I feel like we paid more than we should have with what we got. We also found out on the last day that our room phone was broken and never worked properly.

Plussat: Location, staff and breakfast were excellent;

Miinukset: We had a person with leg problems so lack of elevator and the many steps was a negative. Also the room was small and the toilet had only a short distance from it's front to the wall of the room.

Plussat: Charming hotel. Before coming we were concerned about not having AC. I but it was five cool breeze in the evenings we had to leave the windows open but by morning that I had to close them. We would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: The place is really lovely: clean, cozy, nice rooms, great position. Definitely recommended

Miinukset: no pain points.

Plussat: Easy access. Easy to find. Pretty area.

Miinukset: Far from eateries and stores. Room was cute but cramped, like a dollhouse. Minimal parking.

Plussat: The staff was attentive (we had a clogged toilet that was resolved immediately) and friendly, the room and property were clean, and the pool was an added bonus! The location was in a cute quiet neighborhood with fantastic shops and restaurants walking distance from the hotel and just a quick drive to downtown Santa Barbara!

Miinukset: Since the breakfast was located in the restaurant next door, I was expecting a little more of a true "continental breakfast" with oatmeal and maybe a waffle maker, etc, but it was still much appreciated any type of free breakfast was offered! Other than that, I couldn't pick out one issue with this hotel.

Plussat: I liked the location, pool, and general cleanliness on the place.

Miinukset: The entrance off the main drag was a challenge. The steep entrance didn't give much warning of available parking although spaces weren't an issue mid-week. I'll enter from the side street next time. The breakfast could have had more variety.
