Top Santa Barbara Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic experience. Clean, friendly people, beautiful decorations. Modern elegance. Great location on State Street. "

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"the location was great. walking distance to just about everywhere. Upon arrival we were about an hour early for check in, but thought to inquire anyway. We were greeted by the nicest staff, who not only allowed us to check in but also had our room ready. The room was very clean and had a balcony with a beach view. I not only recommend it but i will be back"

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Unpretentious place with clean rooms and ultra attentive staff. The beds were extremely comfortable. Location within an easy walk to wharf/harbor. Didn’t utilize pool but it looked a bit small. AC was OK but not great. Breakfast also good but could use some variety for those staying longer than 2 days. Would definitely stay again. "

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel which is well situated to explore the centre of Santa Barbara. We walked to the shopping streets in a matter of minutes, although we drove to the main beaches at the end of our stay as we were short on time. Hotel grounds are nicely landscaped and well maintained, offering areas where you can sit and relax in the gardens for some quiet downtime. Out room was small, but perfect for our single overnight stay. Charming cottage style, of sorts. A nice mix of modern and traditional styling. Both the room and bathroom were clean, and there was also a little private gated terraced area where you could sit, just outside of the entrance to the room. Check-in was quick and simple, with the reception staff being polite and welcoming. Check-out was also very quick. On-site parking wasn't an issue for us, although I suspect it may be problematic in high season if the hotel is fully booked. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accomodation, and I would certainly consider staying here again if in the Santa Barbara area "
