Top Presidio Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Location was fantastic, shopping and restaurants very close."

The Upham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A delightful, comfortable, quiet retreat in downtown Santa Barbara. The restaurant was excellent for dinner. The garden space and lobby are welcoming and comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The evening wine...and later, milk and cookies! were a fun bonus. The only slight difficulties are the parking... basically you need to arrive by 5 or so to get a spot, then walk to dinner nearby. The continental breakfast is limited to coffee and pastries; some protein and fruit would have been a good addition. Overall, a favorite place to stay in Santa Barbara."

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Casa Riviera is nice, our stay was quiet and enjoyable. The location is located in a nice area not to far from the beach and many restaurants"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Only a block or so from the beach and restaurants. Complimentary breakfast on the a cute courtyard patio. A tremendous value for the cost."

The Milo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great location to the sea front and to Stearns Wharf. The staff were also really friendly and the room was great. I will say though if you have super thick/long hair like I do, the showers will take longer as the water pressure isn’t very strong (just my opinion though.) For men and for women who have short hair, you’ll be absolutely fine! The shower cleanliness and amenities itself were great."

Casa Jardin

10/10 Excellent

"I'm on a solo road trip and absolutely loved staying here! I love boutique hotels like this that are smaller, intimate, and where attention is paid to details! It was safe and quiet. The grounds were immaculate, the parking lot was super convenient, and the room was adorable. I loved all that little extras that were provided like toiletries and bathroom items, Nespresso machine and pods, and even popcorn. I had a few questions for the staff and they were extremely responsive every time. I had a lovely stay and highly recommend this hotel!"

Palihouse Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Location. The Hotel is so beautiful, chic and close to everything. Very friendly staff."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"It had everything we needed."
