We stayed at Hotel Santa Barbara for two nights and honestly had such a great experience. We picked it for the location (you really can't beat it) and the fact that it's dog friendly, and they absolutely delivered on both. Check-in was quick and easy, and they immediately gave my dog Lobo a treat, which obviously won them points right away. They offer dog bowls and beds, and we ended up using the bed, which Lobo approved of, so that says everything. The hotel itself is super clean, updated, and just really beautifully decorated without feeling over the top. It felt comfortable but still a little elevated, if that makes sense. At checkout, Alex and Christine were at the front desk and came over to give Lobo some birthday love (yes... we were celebrating his 12th ), which was such a sweet touch. Every single employee we interacted with, from valet to housekeeping, was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They do offer valet, and the gated parking at night made me feel really safe leaving my car there, which I appreciated. We'd absolutely stay here again--no question. read more

The Hotel Santa Barbara is a quaint, boutique hotel, situated with its main entrance right off of State Street. It has a clean, modern feel to it. One thing you'll probably also notice immediately walking into the hotel is a very inviting, fresh scent in the air. We were told it's the signature scent of the hotel. Our hotel room was on the 4th floor with a nice view of the surrounding city. The room, just like the overall hotel, had a very quaint, modern, coastal feel to it. The refrigerator was well stocked, organized, and cold, which you don't always get with the small refrigerators. The bathroom was clean, well organized, and the temperature of the bath/shower water was perfect. They are a dog friendly hotel, which made our trip with our fur son even more enjoyable. The front desk staff are very helpful and welcome you back when returning into the lobby. The valet staff were very polite and offered assistance several times even though we didn't need it. Overall we had a very pleasant visit to the hotel, enjoyed our room, all of the staff were very pleasant and helpful, and I would recommend staying here if you want a place close to downtown, nice accommodations, and something different than your typical big brand hotel. read more

Wow! This place is so nice, chic, and cute! We had stayed in San Diego for 3 days and I wish we would have stayed here longer! The Hotel is extremely dog friendly and as of Valentines 2026, doesn't seem to charge for dogs (we had 2 that are bigger and still didn't charge). I also love that this location is very centered in the Downtown area. It was such a quick walk to take our doggies with us on a stroll. Highly recommend coming here since the room itself was very nice, the staff are extremely friendly, the fur babies are accepted, and lastly the proximity to downtown! read more

Beautiful hotel. Two stars for the property. 0 stars for lack of follow-up. I had two concerns. Addressed them at the front desk the morning I departed. Asked for communication. Never received it. I then sent an email. It's been a couple days and still no response. It's not too late to reach out still! Who is in charge of this place? read more

POV from dog lovers that travel frequently with their pup : we loved the fact they are SUPER Dog Friendly! They do not charge a dog fee ( as of 11/2025) ! He was welcome everywhere in the hotel and dog bowl of water was at the front desk check in area . I wish more places were like this . I don't believe a hotel is truly dog friendly when they have a 150$ fee for one dog per night , as some hotels will charge. So we very much appreciated our stay here . Such a pretty hotel , we loved the lobby decor. Our room was also very esthetic but on the smaller side . The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. valet parking only , but it was a very reasonable fee. Location is on busy State st , close to many restaurants and bars and shopping. A Starbucks is connected to the building if you need your coffee fix. Friendly service and we will stay again when back in town :) read more

We needed only one night's stay and this place delivered! It felt newly renovated, the rooms were clean, charming, quiet, and we felt well taken care of. It's right on State Street and walkable to many shopping areas, restaurants and more (ie the beach, Funk Zone). They let us have an early check in and allowed us to leave our car for an extended period. They also have a nice, well stocked bar. My only gripe was the slow elevator- we waited a long time to get it. But we'd come back again for sure! read more

Hotel SB is recently remodeled and I loved what they've done! Everything is so modern and pretty and feels so fancy. The location is ideal, right on State St. and across the World Market and near a bunch of restaurants and shops. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to check in early and put our luggage in our room before we explored the city. Our room had every amenity we needed, including a phone charger, fluffy robes, room slippers and Lather bath products. I'm honestly not a fan of the shower "door", it was a glass panel that covered the front half of the tub so the water spray gets over everything towards the open part of the tub. The bed is comfortable but the mattress is a bit too soft for my old back so I didn't have a great sleep. Valet parking is available at $30/day with in & out privileges. The hotel is pet friendly also. There's a cool bar in the lobby that also serves small bites, and a door that enters the alpaca shop next door. Each floor has a water faucet that offers still or sparkling water (turn the knob for the kind of water you want), and ice in the little pull out freezer that's pre packed in ziploc bags that you can just bring into your room. We enjoyed our stay here and plan on booking here again when we come back next year! read more

We had an amazing experience at this hotel! The location is right in the middle of everything and just a short walk to the beach. Biggest perk for us was that the hotel was incredibly dog friendly. They allow pets for no extra fee and even gave us complimentary dog beds and bowls and treats! The entire staff (Maddie, Alex, and Natalie at the front desk) were beyond friendly and accommodating - loved them so much we were happy to interact with them when we saw them on the town. The valet and cleaning staff were also super helpful and very nice. The hotel and rooms itself are tastefully decorated with some beautiful historical touches and the whole place was very clean. There's even a fitness room which we missed on this stay but will most likely be making use of in the future. We booked this hotel through a different website which offered a great deal and we are pleased to report it was well worth it! This will definitely be the home of our future stays in this beautiful town. read more

Great location in the heart of town on state street, where everything is so walkable. Staying here for the week and have been having the best time! The valet guys have all been so friendly! Everytime we walk downstairs at least 2 people say hello! The room is nice with a king bed and a great shower! read more

We loved this hotel! We stayed here mid-week for a wedding, and it is about a mile from the SB Courthouse gardens. A quick and easy drive. It was probably walking distance, but we were in heels, so we opted to drive over. The rooms are small, but very nicely decorated, modern, and super cozy. The hotel is super clean. Even though it's old and has been around for at least a hundred years, everything is super nicely renovated, so it feels fresh, new, and modern. The rooms are equipped with USB plugs, steamers, and cozy beds. We loved everything about it. The valet staff were ON IT! One morning, they saw us in the lobby, and went to get our car before we could ask for it. We literally stepped outside, and they were pulling around the corner in our car - WOWWW! What service!!!! I almost forgot to mention that there is a Starbucks connected to the hotel, just outside the door. That is always a major benefit to me since I require coffee to function. LOL read more

The hotel is very expensive. I know we paid for the location, as it is walking distance to everything. However, the front desk ladies are so ditzy. The 2 of them gave us a map of the area but they had no idea where to locate the hotel on the map and my husband had to show them which direction the Pacific Ocean was. We quickly realized that Santa Barbara has a horrible homeless population issue. The hotel smells lovely in the lobby but you immediately smell fresh human urine stench right outside. I literally did not feel safe strolling the shops on State street by myself bc of all the vagrants yelling, swearing, talking to themselves. Then to top things off...we went to workout one morning only to return and be locked out of our room. No one could get in. The digital pad was screwed up. We needed to shower and pick up a rental car and be an hour away for a reserved, non refundable experience in Los Olivos. It ruined our entire vacation!!! read more

Our room looked exactly like the pictures! The renovation was done beautifully! The whole property was beautiful and clean. All staff members were friendly and welcoming. The room was perfectly clean, comfortable, and left us wanting to come back! read more

Would have super easy to give them 5*. Great staff, beautiful, clean, well appointed facilities and room. When we checked in we were told that we'd landed a great room. What they failed to say is that, although we'd be on the 4th floor, we'd be overlooking a popular nightclub that had an open space. Even with the window closed we could hear screaming party goers, constant music until 2AM. We would have appreciated being given a heads up, a choice of a different room, and earplugs. read more

A once beautiful and great hotel, sadly not anymore. Just like what has happened to the once thriving State Street. We stayed one night passing thru, as we had stayed in this Hotel in the past. We left a smart watch, sitting on its charger, in Room 401, when we checked out at 8:30 that morning. The watch has account and financial information on it. We called that evening to report leaving it. Two hours later the watch is pinged by Samsung in the "housekeeping" office behind the hotel that same evening. I spoke with three people for three days. No calls back until today, when "Alex" tells me he understands that we might have a problem with the watch being pinged in the housekeeping office the same evening while at the same time being reported as "not found". But he "trusts his people" and will go with them. Great hotels are made of great people, but great people don't take the property of their guests. Perhaps this explains the hotel's ratings. read more

Hotel Santa Barbara - Samsung shows the watch in the Housekeeping office at 11:35 PM the same night. - Hotels Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Located In the heart of Santa Barbara's State street! It doesn't get better than that! I opted to stay at this hotel since the last of my daughter's friend group finally turned 21. I wanted them to be able to walk to the bars and back safely! For anyone that loves Sharkys in Huntington Beach or SB this hotel is literally next door. $30 to valet with in and out privileges. If you drive a Tesi then they park your car right in their lot and even charge it. Afternoon refreshments and cookies served daily. There's free bike rentals too. I didn't think I would ride a bike around state street but it's so convenient because there are bike parking everywhere. Rooms are nice and clean, beds are comfy. The hotel has history so if you want modern look elsewhere. Also they use Lather products here!! SCORE! I'd definitely stay here again in a heartbeat but their weekends are always sold out :( read more

This historic hotel has completed a remodel of its hotel rooms with nicely designed interiors and furniture; new flooring; and a new vanity in the bathroom. The king rooms are very nicely appointed with comfy swivel armchairs in a black Southwestern pattern, a desk, and complimentary water bottles for the water and ice station, across from our room. Ice is put into baggies for you, so just grab and go. The rooms have a small electric kettle for heating water to make pour over filtered coffee or tea, which is a nice touch. The rooms could have more wall art or prints; however, the remodel most likely cost a fortune, so it's understandable that they did not invest in that. There's a digital clock with a USB port to charge your phone and it uses Bluetooth to play songs from your Spotify playlist. There are two very comfy robes in the room, and nice toiletries in the bathroom for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and lotion. The room has a hair dryer, makeup mirror, full-length mirror, steamer, blanket, extra pillow, and a safe. There's cotton products and a special black washcloth for removing makeup. The only thing lacking for me was a shower cap, but that's a minor detail. We were given a room overlooking the valet lot, which is probably quieter than facing State Street; however, there was a lot of noise from other guests, especially one family with a young child who screamed constantly, ran around and was a complete terror. It made it hard for any of us to relax, day or night. There does not appear to be any soundproofing in the rooms, especially given the age of the hotel. There's also a loud booming noise constantly from 9 am or so until 5 pm when housekeeping staff is working and putting towels and bed linens down a chute. Friday night for us was very quiet and relaxing. Saturday day and night was very noisy with other guests and housekeeping using the laundry chute. Same for Sunday, when we checked out. The hotel is close to the center of State Street, making it easy to walk to restaurants, bars and shopping. Ubers cost $7-11 one way to go to the marina and adjacent restaurants. Service is very good here. Everyone from the front desk staff to the valet and housekeeping is so charming and friendly. The lobby is being remodeled, and they are adding a bar, which will be nice. Everything has a Spanish Mission style design and feel, which I love. Starbucks is downstairs and there's a Cost Plus World Market across the street for wine, beer and snacks. Overall, I love what they've done with this historic hotel. There are some issues with noise, etc. but the hotel is generally a good place to stay. read more

Beautiful hotel, our whole family stayed here while we had our elopement at the courthouse. We lost a camcorder there in January & no luck on it turning up, if anymore finds it please let me know, I don't even care about the camera I just want our footage read more

This place is amazing! I will be staying here every time I visit Santa Barbara. This was my first time coming here so I don't know what it looked like before the renovations but this hotel is absolutely beautiful. As soon as you walk in it smells amazing and is super clean and welcoming. I chose this place because they are dog friendly. Everyone was so nice to my dog and treated her like royalty. The staff here is fantastic. Shannon was so great. She loved my dog and said hi & bye every time we saw her and gave her all the pets. She made our stay very memorable. I booked the smallest room they have. It was super cozy & comfy. The location of this hotel is perfect. Just steps out the front door there is Starbucks, Baja Sharkeez and a bunch of other stores/restaurants. The beach/pier is a short walk away. Best hotel experience I've ever had. I can't wait go back! read more

Positives: great location on State St. Nice lobby. Nice that it has a Starbucks ten feet from your door. Negatives; very small room. Ours was right next to two heavy, noisy exit doors that were loudly opened and closed all the time! The only drawer in our room was a tiny one on one side of bed. There are two tiny shelves that we had to put all underwear, socks, pajamas. We got only 1 robe, and the only place to hang it or towels was at the end of the shower to get wet. No microwave. You only get maid service if you request it in advance. $30 a day for parking, and it's only valet (not 24/7), so you never know where your car is. They use other lots. We were told there is charging for electric, but there was only 1 and VERY slow. They will move your car to charge another car before yours is charged. Door to bathroom is a very heavy pocket door. The inside has a ring you have to pull out and drag the door. Room walls are a very dark charcoal color, making room appear even smaller. Pillows are very thick. Hard on our necks. read more

LOVED everything about our stay here! We were initially booked in a nearby inn, but recently rescued a sweet dog and the inn wasn't pet-friendly. So I found Hotel SB and we visited over TG weekend: Our first official trip with our new dog! Not only is it an amazing location: Right in the heart of downtown SB where State is blocked off to car traffic, but the hotel discreetly set off from the street so it is quiet and serene even at times when it is bustling on State Street. While the location gets a 10/10 rating, the staff and service gets like a 100/10!! Everyone, from the professional and kind Erica at the front desk, to the men who valet parked, who so kindly retrieved our dog's favorite blanket from the car after we had settled in to our room. And the dog biscuits that Erica was so generous with were a huge hit with our cutie! The rooms were lovely, well-appointed, quiet, delicious tea and elegant electric kettle and old school brewed coffee. Room was cleaned in the window we asked, towels were fluffy, linens and bed were comfortable. There was a fitness room that had Peloton (I think) and other machines, but after eating and wine tasting our way through the city, I didn't personally visit the fitness room lol. Just a gentle head's up that there is only one elevator for the entire hotel (four stories), so there were a few times when I was crossing my fingers that it would come in time to take the dog for her walk. lol. But that wasn't a big deal at all, and the stairs were really easy to use. We go to Santa Barbara every year and I am so thrilled that we have found our new home there!! read more

Very unhappy with my and my wife's experience at this hotel for our 20th Wedding Anniversary weekend getaway. Aside from all the little negatives I experienced at the hotel the most damaging was the destruction of my car door handle. I spoke to the valet about it once it was discovered and their response was they had no idea how my 2020 luxury SUV's door handle was ripped off the door, but it may be because where they typically store the vehicles is in an unsupervised lot somewhere away from the hotel. William Escobar, the Guest Services Manager for the hotel, never even responded to the email that I sent him in early March about the incident. As one of the previous guests stated in their review about the security at the hotel, the valet is provided through a 3rd party contracted company and the hotel itself claims no responsibility for anything they do. The regional manager for the valet company, Luke Ming with Signature Parking, sent me via email less than a week after the incident a total blsht, lame response stating, "In order for Signature Parking to bear responsibility, there would need to be clear evidence of negligence by one of our employees that directly caused the damage." How the heck do I get that?...when they took my vehicle and stored it in a parking lot that I have no knowledge of and that they have no video surveillance in? So basically the hotel's response along with the valet company's response was, "sorry, but not our problem...though you entrusted us with your stay and your vehicle's storage". Absolutely no accountability or respect for their guests. I would never recommend this hotel, or for that matter any hotel owned by BILLIONAIRE Diane Hendricks, to anyone. They have proven to have NO integrity or commitment to putting their customer's first! read more

Room was nice, everything was very historic looking and gave a different feel to the room. The 5 stars are really for the accommodations. Hotel front desk was always so kind and we got fun doggy bags for our two girls. They also offer dog beds and bowls, so you don't even need to bring your own! 100 stars to Cruz/Cruise out in valet. He is so dang cheery and bubbly. Hard to not be contagious. He's so helpful and literally ran around helping up get our belongings and car. Thanks a million! read more

Very easily one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. My fiancée and I stayed here for our wedding weekend, and from start to finish, the staff went above and beyond. Alyssa helped us with early check-in and made everything seamless. Hayden was a total rockstar at valet and assisting us with our luggage to the room--friendly, helpful, just all-around awesome. We were welcomed with wine, cookies, a personalized note, and an incredible corner room with stunning views. The staff even cheered us on as we left for our ceremony and welcomed us back with congratulations. Every detail--from the scent of the hotel to the design--was impeccable. We've officially found our hotel in Santa Barbara and will be coming back for the rest of our lives, in memory of our special day. read more

Beautiful Hotel, just opened fully remodeled. The Rooms are well decorated and very comfortable. Perfect location, professional Staff. Very intuitive. Highly recommend read more

Stayed in July 2025-mid week. Love the location and new renovations in the hotel. Rooms are all very tastefully done and the lobby also just got a finished upgrade 2 weeks prior to our arrival. There's plenty of seating in the lobby and there's now a bar! Requested early check-in with a quiet high floor room prior to arrival. Perhaps it was mid week when we stayed but having a room on the top floor, away from the elevator and not facing State street made our stay very enjoyable because it was very quiet. There's a water filling station on every floor (flat or sparkling) and the freezer drawers has zip lock packed ice for guests to use. 2 free reusable bottles for guests in each room. We stayed in a 2 queen room. The beds and pillows were very comfortable but the room itself was a bit small for a party of 4. We also kicked the edge of the wooden bed a few times so be careful with that. There's a refrigerator already stocked with mini bar items so guests can't put much stuff in it. Smart TV, lots of drawers and closet space. 1 comfy robe and slippers provided and more can be requested. The bathroom has a large vanity for toiletry items but the shower is small and it has the partial glass panel which I'm not a big fan of because water tends to spray outside the shower and it's also quite cold not having a full door. Lots of mirrors. Coffee maker in room. $30 / day valet parking only but we were able to find lots of nearby overnight street parking. Location is very convenient because it's on State street where all the restaurants and shops are located. Free bike rentals with helmets and locks. Bikes had 7-8 speeds so it was very easy to ride. PERK: no pet fee! We would stay here again! read more

52 year old single man here. My current annual salary is only $40,000, which I think would be helpful for Yelp reviewers to state. If I was rich, or had a rich spouse, I might have a whole different level of expectations and entitlements, like the service not being what it is at home with my maid staff or whatever. I treated myself to a weekend getaway-- two nights, Fri, 2/21 and Sat, 2/22--for my birthday. I'd absolutely stay at this hotel again if for three nights or less. Four floors. No pool. Quiet. Other than bike rentals and an ice cream parlor, downtown isn't a kid zone, so I didn't see or hear any children running amok. As for revelers, there isn't a big nightclub scene that attracts drunken revelers. I don't know, spring break or holidays might get a little rowdy, but State Street is pedestrian and bicycle only. It is closed to motor vehicle traffic, and even on the cross streets where there are cars, downtown doesn't seem like it caters to cruising, and certainly not racing. The streets aren't wide or long enough for that. I heard one motorcycle and one high performance engine my whole weekend there, and not while in the hotel. No car stereos either. There were one or two clubs with live bands, including a horn section on Saturday that sounded like a marching band, but hey, it's Saturday night. By 10, the live bands had stopped. Valet parking is $30/day due to the availability of parking around this historic downtown hotel. It's just not in an area where they can lay down a shopping mall parking lot for guests. I can't say enough about Shannon and the remarkable service here. I checked in on a Friday night and at checkout on Sunday--on the stairwell, not at the front desk looking at a screen--she remembered my name. THAT impressed me. The valet guys were hustling and very professional. Due to construction, the front desk is only accessible by walking around the building and past a couple of other doors on State St, so one of the valet guys walked me there personally, rather than just gave me directions. For breakfast, there's a two-room restaurant/diner, Joe's Cafe, right across State Street. read more

Booked our premiere queen for a two night stay (wednesday-thursday) and this hotel far exceeded our expectations. Based on other reviews of this hotel, we were aware of the noise coming from night clubs near by. However, we proceeded to book our stay as their accommodations for pets was too good to turn down. We had called ahead to let them know that we were bringing our dog and requested a quiet room if possible. During our stay, we had no clue if they were able to accommodate but we heard little to no noise. Furthermore, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The lobby was beautifully decorated and smelled absolutely wonderful! The hotel is right in the heart of downtown santa barbara. 100% will be booking again with Hotel Santa Barbara! read more

It's renovated, the rooms & bathrooms are modern/upgraded and central air works great. We stayed here back in 2020 so we were very pleased with the renovations. A bar is now in the lobby, unfortunately it was not operating during our stay. The staff was pleasant, Niko & Shannon were very kind & accommodating, room service on point, our room was cleaned perfectly. However, we didn't receive any complimentary goodies as per previous reviews, in fact I asked if we may grab a pastry located at the bar during check out today, and the gentleman at front desk stated they were only for picture display. The elevator still has its old charm it just takes forever to come up. Stairs are totally doable to the 4th floor. read more

Fantastic hotel right on the beach. Santa Barbra is a great city all around d reminds me a lot of San Diego the best city in the world

I would/will stay at the Hotel Santa Barbara again, but I'm not giving 5 stars because no one gave us any heads up that the roof, right outside our window, was going to be worked on (starting at 7:30am) while we were staying there. Stayed 1/22/24-1/25/24 The hotel is in a great location, easy to access, and has a really friendly staff. We (husband and I) were traveling with our two dogs, and the hotel is very accommodating. We stayed in a very nice room on the third floor overlooking State Street through one window, and the back roof top area through the other. The bed was comfortable and I thought quite spacious - considering we filled it with a dog crate, my husband's bike and all our bags. The hotel is old, and only has - as far as I could tell - one little elevator. I don't know that I'd recommend this for anyone who needs to rely on the elevator, we ended up using the stairs except for getting all our things to/from the room. They put out coffee in the morning, and cookies around 3pm - I recommend the snickerdoodle. read more

I had a really amazing stay at Hotel Santa Barbara during New Year's Eve weekend. Easy booking, and pet friendly! Front desk was very kind and I'd also like to add that this hotel accepts debit cards for bookings. For those of you who can't use a credit card. That's a huge deal because most hotels do require credit cards to book. Everything was so hassle free and I appreciate that! The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, medium sized and eloquent. Only 2 floors, and the room was clean with a well stocked mini bar/fridge! AC in the room to control the temperature was great also. It's right in the middle of everything, I think it's a perfect place to stay if you're visiting Santa Barbara. read more

My Fiance and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Barbara! Part of the hotel was still under construction, but the floor we stayed on (4) was newly renovated.

We were there celebrating our engagement, and the front desk staff, specifically Sophie and Shannon, went above and beyond to make it special.

This was my husband's and my first time exploring the tourist areas of Santa Barbara and this was the perfect location. Very clean inside with lots of cool historical photographs of Santa Barbara decorating the walls. I also loved the beautiful Mexican tiles lining the stairs. It's such a wonderful location, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to during our stay and didn't need our car at all; it's right in the middle of State Street and only about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. The room was cozy and clean and I absolutely loved the little details like pour over coffee, a reusable water bottle with directions to a water station down the hall, and alarm clocks with built-in sound machines to drown out the nightlife outside. The bed was really comfortable and I got great sleep. Perfect for a romantic getaway and also a place I'd be happy to take a family vacation as well. Friendly staff, careful valets and an easy breezy check in. We will definitely be back read more

We truly had the most amazing experience at Hotel Santa Barbara for our wedding weekend, 06/19 - 06/23! The staff at Hotel SB treated us like royalty and even left us a special gift and note in our room for our arrival! We felt so grateful and it added to how special the whole weekend was. I also rented the Harbor conference room downstairs for my bridal party to get ready in and it was the absolute perfect setup for us, even with 10 bridesmaids! Hotel Santa Barbara accommodated every single need we had, our room was spacious and clean.... I can't wait to come back and stay for our future anniversaries! Also cannot forget the fresh baked cookies, water, coffee, and tea in the lobby to greet us every day! I couldn't be more grateful for the entire experience. Thank you, Hotel Santa Barbara! read more

Very dog friendly which was nice for us since we were bringing our dog. Only downside was the room was a little small and stuffy feeling. There was a strange stuffy smell the whole time but figured it's just part of being in an older building. Staff was amazing! Everybody we encountered was super friendly and willing to help. It seems like they are renovating the lobby or something so the entrance was hard to find but I'm sure that will change. Great location for walking and quick drive to the harbor/beach. read more
