Top Cielito Hotel Reviews

Casa Riviera, a ZenStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 the bed is so comfortable the view is perfect and the whole place is extremely clean!!"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful little gem in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Steps from the beach, yet in a quiet and safe neighborhood. My room was beyond comfortable, and the staff was courteous and kind. Franciscan Inn offers a breakfast, 24-hour, coffee, and snacks! This will be my new go to for my annual visits to beautiful Santa Barbara."

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, we did have an issue with ants in the bathroom sink, but when the housekeeper came to clean they went away. The person at the front desk was very helpful in providing food suggestions. Parking fees were reasonable but the parking garage did fill up quickly. We were still able to find parking in the garage however. Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to have the breakfast but it was a nice option!"

Rosewood Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had one problem with the house car, but the front desk manager immediately picked up on it and took care of it, as well as writing me an extended email apologizing and stating what they will do better in the future. Frankly, taking ownership of even a small issue rates 5 stars on its own … so unusual these days."
