Top Arts and Culture Center Hotel Reviews

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"It was great & clean"

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Kerrigan coffee maker was not good. Coffee was weak and cold. Went downstairs for coffee and it wasn’t hot either."

Casa Jardin, a ZenStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"GREAT HOTEL IN THE PERFECT LOCATION. EVERYTHING WAS IN WALKING DISTANCE."

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"Nice location and helpful staff."

Best Western Plus Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The Best Western in Santa Barbara was a cute hotel. The front reception area was clean and staffed 24/7. They were very accommodating, and I even received a free room upgrade upon arrival. There was free coffee 24/7. The parking for the property is spread out, as there are multiple buildings, but it was explained upon arrival where best to park. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were just the right comfort level - not too hard, not too soft. The pillows were nice too. The bedding wasn't high end, but was fine. The only thing I didn't care for was the bathroom was a bit dated, and there was a tub shower with a shower head that wouldn't adjust. So, you were stuck with the position it was in. The shower pressure was ok, but not great. We used the hot tub. It was really hot - I think they had it on the highest setting, so we couldn't stay in it too long. There is a pool on site as well. Pool/hot tub towels are available in the front lobby. There is a restaurant on site as well, but we did not use it. It's also about a block from the hospital, in a decent neighborhood. It felt safe. All in all, I'd stay here again."

Cheshire Cat Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Very quaint and quiet inn. Highly recommend a stay! Innkeepers were very personable yet discreet. Hope to stay again!"
