Upper Riviera Hotels near Santa Barbara

"Great place will stay again, the lobby coffee was far better than the trendy coffee shop across the road, and the bar person could mix a great cocktail, at a great price too. They welcomed our dog with treats and scratches, valet parking was convenient. Would recommend hotel Santa Barbara to anyone."

"Terrible for the price they charged. I paid $400 for my room! When my husband was ready to turn into the parking lot, I told him no, because I thought we came to the wrong property. I just didn’t expect $400 would get me a pathetic motel room. That was exactly what it was: an old motel. It’s no difference from Motel 6, I suppose. Each room faces the hallway with absolutely no privacy. My room was old, dark, with old carpet. The bathroom was so small that the vanity has no cabinets under. It’s a triangle room that would make one feel claustrophobic. Worst was the paper-thin wall. At 10:00 p.m., our Nextdoor neighbors were talking loudly right outside the hallway. The noise woke me up, and they continued talking loudly till past 1:30a. m. I heard many distinct voices there, like 4-5 adults and then plus children. My room does not have traditional AC, but one of those portable one with tube going through the window. It was loud and so we had to shut it off at night and yet we can’t open the window due to noises outside. A restless night for me after I spent $400, and found out that I was bitten by something when I woke up early in the morning( I didn’t put my luggage on the bed so it wasn’t from us). Hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Don’t trust the walking distance posted on Expedia. Used my Google map and the walking distances of everything are about 40 percent more than they describe. No restaurant and no market nearby. It’s a residential area "

"Na"

"A great place to stay!"

"My family liked that it was close to in n out. We liked that it was off the fwy. God breakfast. Staff was friendly and courteous. The rooms were big and clean. Recommend this hotel for families with kids."

"All the staff were helpful in every day. Particularly helpful was Jacob T. Saw him every day at tge front desk which doubles as the breakfast desk. He was professional and upbeat with every customer we saw him deal with and went out of his way assist. In explanations of authorizations place on their credit cards, providing suggestions of place to see and restaurants and general directions. A stay here is worth it, if only have him provide you with information and service."

"The room was spacious, staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, and the grounds are reasonably well kept. The room has hardwood floors, not covered by carpet. At the end of the day, I took my shoes and socks off and was on my feet unpacking. The bottom of my feet (in a period of 10-15 minutes) became dark with whatever grime was on the floors. It is clear that the floor had not been cleaned in some time. I had to wash them before going to bed - both nights. "
