My stay was like a charming step back into history. Friendly staff and a welcoming, attentive manager made the experience all the more pleasant. The Cosmopolitan is the perfect place to unplug and enjoy the surroundings of a historical era.
Dee, the manager was so wonderful and accommodating! This was a beautiful area to stay in- definitely make time to walk around and explore. I loved going here for a little romantic getaway, and would definitely do so again! The rooms were small, so I can imagine that would be tough with kids, but the area is adorable for all ages!!
This was a fun and great experience! The hotel is currently undergoing some changes so it wasn't open we had to call someone to let us onto the property and check us in. Which only added to the experience. The room was old but just what we needed for our short stay. No hauntings but we'll be back soon so maybe they'll say hello next time!
This was an amazing place with an incredible nostalgia. We got there at midnight the first night because of a late flight. One of the members of the family who owned this place, showed up at the gate and let us in. When you get there, you get a key to open the gate into the garden area. The rooms are old, but designed with a lot of charm. We had the bathroom with the pinewood tub. The entire experience was five stars. If you’re looking for brand new and shiny sparkly, this is not your place. If you’re looking for an antique setting in an amazing location, then you’ve found your spot.
Unique stay in walkable part of San Diego. Very refreshing change from the typical box of a room offered by chains. Excellent, personal check-in experience. Clean, spacious room with expected amenities. Simple check-out process. Tasty scones for breakfast.

Love the ambiance!!! We had a view of the central plaza!
Amazing unique restful enjoyable stay as a single traveling make it met all my expectations! The. History behind the hotel led me to choosing the Cosmopolitan over other hotels… a plus was that they have no TVs or electronic which helped me detach a little. Fernando was super friendly and helpful when I made a minor mistake in my reservation and he even loaned me a phone charger when mine stopped working! I will be back soon!
Thank you!
Property and room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for what we planned for the weekend.
Breakfast included which is a plus!
The Cosmopolitan Hotel has never disappointed. When I want to get away from modern times and get into a time machine, I stay here.

The staff is exceptional. I'm stage with three times now and I'm very pleased with the nice welcome I get in the evening when checking in. After a long day of travels it feels good to be warmly welcomed. This hotel is about the only one that seems to do it so nicely! I appreciate it the property is spick and span. Has nice landscape and that great Santa Barbara feel!
