Top Arts and Culture Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful classic hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara. Really wonderful spot in a great location."

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were so kind, helpful, and overall welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We were by a window over the trash area, and close to the fire station so there were some louder moments when we weren’t expecting them but overall great stay."

The Presidio

8/10 Good

"Good location - we brought our bikes and ride to the beach, downtown SB, and the Santa Barbara Bowl for a concert and the location of the hotel was great for a few days. They opened strictly at 3pm for check in, no earlier (door was locked). Not a problem but a good to know. The room was clean and pretty basic, good for us as it was just a place to sleep after exploring town. The fridge wasn't cold so we had to turn it on and AC kept turning itself off so we stayed on top of it over the hot weekend."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean place, nice staff, not small."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and impeccably clean!"

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay for the weekend, good & service was wonderful! would definitely stay 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!"
