Super cute, clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet had delicious scones, muffins, and Danishes. Might be hard to walk up flights of stairs with a suitcase and thought they should have had plates for the muffins and an alternative to Tea and Coffee - maybe juice - for the continental breakfast.

I really liked the quaint environment of the Upham Hotel and how convenient it was to get to surrounding shops and restaurants by foot. The service was great with daily room cleanings and perks such as a “happy hour” which made our time there more enjoyable. The grounds are immaculately kept and helped give us additional spaces to enjoy during our stay. Our room was the right size to make it comfortable without being too large or costly. Would definitely recommend the Upham Hotel to anyone traveling to the Santa Barbara area!
