Top Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"I took a star off because there were ants on the bathroom upon our arrival. The problem got worse overnight but once we informed the front desk it was taken care off right away. Otherwise, everything else was great. Enjoyed the breakfast, happy hour and free bottle of wine for each night we stayed there. Great location, walked to the waterfront and the main street."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was charming and clean, with the quirks and smells of a historic property. There’s a lovely communal courtyard to eat, lounge, or work from surrounded by vegetation and fountains."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome experience"

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The last time we stayed at this hotel was over 20 years ago and we always had fond memories and loved the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the rooms have undergone a recent renovation and have a very nice, welcoming and cosy vibe. It's updated without resorting to hard grey laminate floors everywhere that's the trend these days (makes me feel like I'm staying in an office or empty museum: cold and harsh sound). This room wasn't large and yet didn't feel cramped at all. Just about perfect really. The only caveat worth mentioning is that we had a corner room overlooking State Street on one side, and the noise from the nearby bars was occasionally pretty loud. It doesn't let up until 2:00 am. I kinda enjoyed it, but I didn't have anywhere to rush off to the next day. If you know noise will prevent you from getting a good night sleep, just be sure to avoid the State Street facing rooms."
