Hotel Santa Barbara

Elevator not functioning Room not ready Wrong room

Nice older Hotel that was recommended to me by Paul Dargan , the owner of Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant @ 18 E. Ortega St. about a block away#. Dargan made an excellent recommendation and his place was fantastic , also. I enjoyed the old style Hotel and the free breakfast starting at 7AM. Hotel Santa Barbara is right in the middle of the Friday night action on State Street. State Street reminded me of the bar scene in a Star Wars film. The elevator was a historic classic worth the visit into the past. Valet parking was cheap and well done at $7 for secure parking. Jerry v. #P.S. did I mention Dargan's Irish Pub ?)

Besides the great location of this hotel, which is in the middle of state st, this hotel was one of the worst experiences I've had. When I walked into my room, everything seemed clean...however, when I pulled the covers off the bed, the bed sheets had hairs and "curly" hairs all over it. Sickening! So I called the front desk to ask for a bed sheet change and they said that they would send someone up. 3 hours later, after we had returned from dinner at 10pm, I see a pile of clean sheets on the table. It seems housekeeping didn't feel like changing the sheets and wanted to just dump their sheets on the table. Talk about customer service! Also, don't bother trying to get a good nights sleep, the walls and door are so thin you'll be able to hear everyone's conversation down the hall.

Hotel is old but the rooms are clean and staff very friendly. The hotel is on State street in the center of Santa Barbara and only a short walk from the marina & beaches. If you are looking for luxury five star, then this isnt't it but if you want a comfortable, clean hotel in a great location with attentive staff then this is the place to choose.

Nice place, but the TV was on the wall to the left of the bed. You have to either lay on your left side or turn your head to the left to see it!

hotel is located exactly where you want it to be.right where everything is (shops,restaurants and bars). you can walk to the beach or ride their mini electric bus for 25cents. short drive to historic places.. hotel itself is average.nothing so special about it. room is a little small.valet parking at the back of the hotel $8/night.

The parking valets were friendly and provided great service. No other staff member said boo to me, including the guy who checked me in. The rooms are clean and a nice size, but I heard noise from all the rooms around me. I skipped breakfast, but it looked like a decent selection. Location is fabulous and the price was fair for Santa Barbara, but don't expect to be wow'ed.

great location right on state st walking distance to everything . cool hotel, suggest to trade up to deluxe queen much bigger room and worth the extra $10 have nice cont. breakfast with real good coffee don,t need to go to Starbucks. hardly had to use the car everything near by .

This hotel is great! It's where you want to be, in the middle of all the action.

We have stayed here in the past and love the location. You have everything right there, great restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and the beach a few blocks away. You never need to get in your car as you can walk everywhere and there's a trolley that takes you up State Street and along the ocean front. It is a beautiful town with many retired professionals along with a big college population. We heard many different languages as it's called the "American Riviera" and attracts many tourists from all over the world.
