Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG
4.0 star property
Downtown Santa Barbara
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1,000 reviews)
"The Canary Inn is a very convenient hotel to everything “State Street”. (State Street however isn’t what it used to be). Hotel staff was very pleasant. Rooms were clean and nice, but street noise is “annoying, especially at night. Wish hotel had its own spa rather than an alliance with Float Spa, ( although Float was very good but it’s a five minute walk away). Overall Canary is a good property just wish it had a spa, more vibrant pool with a bar but it’s a good choice in SB. "
