Ramada by Wyndham Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Starbucks is steps away. Great scenery onsite. Friendly, helpful and available staff!"

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic little hotel in a nice area. Minutes from everything in Santa Barbara. Staff were all nice and our room looked like a little apartment with a kitchen and fridge. Very helpful for leftovers from dinner out! The grounds were so beautiful! The breakfast was great too. They had egg frittatas, out meal, cereal, yogurt parfaits and pastries. Coffee and tea. We ate inside but lots of people ate on the patio outside the lobby which was really nice. I highly recommended this hotel."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful. The overall experience succeeded our expectations. We enjoyed drinks and appetizers one evening, followed by brunch the next day, and the complementary continental breakfast pastries were delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The property was comfortable and very well maintained with beautiful outdoor seating areas that were perfect for relaxing. The location was another highlight. It was easy to walk to downtown making it convenient to explore the area without needing to drive. The food was great throughout our stay and we truly enjoyed our experience. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
