The staff was very helpful allowing me to store my luggage as i arrived earlier than expected. Their restaurant recommendation was great and I enjoyed my lunch. Loved the greenspace in the middle of the compund. Enjoyed a glass of wine from happy hour while taking in the garden and watching the wildlife. Can't say enough about the staff making me feel at home!

I really liked the quaint environment of the Upham Hotel and how convenient it was to get to surrounding shops and restaurants by foot. The service was great with daily room cleanings and perks such as a “happy hour” which made our time there more enjoyable. The grounds are immaculately kept and helped give us additional spaces to enjoy during our stay. Our room was the right size to make it comfortable without being too large or costly. Would definitely recommend the Upham Hotel to anyone traveling to the Santa Barbara area!

Omg, The Upham is a great hotel & cottage place to stay in Santa Barbara! The staff Veronica, Samantha & Ana were superior to my stay for 3 nights. I gave it 4 stars because of the WiFi. If you have work to do plan for slow wifi or set time for work getting done in a nearby cafe. Otherwise, enjoy your stay!! If you need anything, just ask the front desk. It’s a great experience.
