Independent Historic Downtown Santa Barbara hotels

"Ice machine on third floor didn’t work. Had to walk all the way across the hotel for a microwave"

"Very comfortable, spacious room, great bed. Wine time, cookies, great coffee. Only complaint is not enough water pressure in shower. "

"Nice service "

"Great staff"

"Great location and great staff"

"We chose this hotel for its proximity to a wedding celebration, and it was the perfect location. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was outstanding. Interacting with the front desk and valet staff was a pleasant experience, and their hospitality made our stay enjoyable. Overall, a great choice for convenience and service."

"This is a very well situated hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. They provide a nice wine-cheese-crackers and cookies spread in the early evening, and comprehensive breakfast in the morning, complete with oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, all types of breads/rolls/bagels, a bite-size fritatta, and of course coffee and tea. All of this at a reasonable price for Santa Barbara. Don’t hesitate to stay here!"

"Had a really great stay. Good breakfast, no eggs but good breakfast with OJ, apple juice, variety of cereals, bagels, toast, croissants with option of cheese or jams, oatmeal. Parking available. Hotel was close to things. Really great hot tub and nice pool! Overall good stay. "

"We stayed at the Ritz last November and here this past week and I’d choose the Santa Barbara Inn hands down. It’s boutique-like with lovely grounds, super walkable, clean and the dining option is lovely. Valet was great and service very good."
