Top Santa Barbara Channel Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Well situated. friendly and helpful staff."

Casa Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip to Santa Barbara was heightened by the quality in all areas of our stay at Casa Riviera. Everything about the room was well appointed. It was extremely clean. The linens and bed itself were so top notch, I asked for a link to the bed, so I can sleep this well at home. It’s a very cozy room, like a home away from home. They had a n’epresso coffee maker as well as tea and a kettle. There is not an on site office, but they responded immediately to calls or even texts. The location is walkable to a great coffee house and the main part of downtown ( mid, state street area). I will return and I recommend this facility to others. The cost was reasonable for the quality. Small details add up."

Beachside Inn

6/10 Okay

"First, the good...the hotel is in a nice part of town. It is directly across from the marina and we enjoyed the walk along the shoreline and boardwalk. Breakfast was hot and hearty. There was a wide selection of items: yogurt, juices, fruit, eggs, chicken, cold cuts, cereal, bagels, etc. The hotel was undergoing remodeling, but it only took up a small part of the parking lot, and we still found a parking spot and it was free. The bed was bouncy, but comfy. The air conditioning was cool in the room. We appreciated the fridge in the room. The room was very spacious overall. Now our disappointments...The lights shining in our room from outside at night. Our room was near the elevator and was noisy at night. Also, the main showerhead didn't seem to work, so we had to use the spray nozzle only, and that flooded a part of the bathroom near the shower because there was no lip in the tile to keep in the water. The nozzle pointed outward and it was really hard to wash hair and body with only one hand. It would be nice if the spray nozzle could be fixed in a spot to use it as the main showerhead. Instead, it was attached at an angle and had to be held to be used. I went downstairs to ask for extra towels to clean it up, and was told they'd be sent up. They never came, so we did our best to use our used towels to sop it up. I also realized after this fiasco that my travel kit next to the sink also got soaked as a result, including makeup brushes, etc. Also, no hairdryer in room."

Hotel Californian

4/10 Poor

"We stayed here one night in May. Here are the highlights: -Hotel staff was nowhere to be found once we were escorted to the building we were staying in (multiple buildings). -The hotel bar closed at 8pm. -We attempted to make use of the amenities - rooftop pool - but due to what I presume was cloudy weather the chairs outside had no cushions and there were no hotel staff to service. -I was awakened by a 3am washing of our room's windows. I contacted staff which got back to me 6 hours later to apologize and offer some credit for the inconvenience. This was unacceptable and ridiculous. What an oversight. -The next day we met up with friends at the pool which was crowded. It took 1 hour for our diet cokes to arrive. And my friend was treated rudely by the staff member running the pool. I'm not sure if he ended up paying for fruit that we never received. -After checkout I was surprised to be charged for undisclosed $60+ "leisure fees" and $14 delivery for the room service we ordered on arrival (ultimately this was comped due to the window incident). But I really wonder how they possibly justify this added expense given the lack of attentive staff and narrow hours of operation. Overall this is simply not a luxury destination hotel. It's a beautiful location with well designed facilities. But they are currently charging inflated rates for what seemed like a short-staffed operation."

Riviera Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful. We had a king room with a garden patio. The room was so small that it barely fit anything but the bed. We had to edge around it just to move. The bathroom was tiny with few hooks or shelves. The bathroom door had no latch, swung open and closed and was frosted glass with an inch of space all around so there was very little privacy. There was nowhere to put our bags in the room or our toiletries in the bathroom. No closet and just a few drawers that were too hard to get to so we didn't use them. Thank goodness for the patio which we used as our sitting room. If you can get a smaller bed, it may be okay."

Hotel Santa Barbara

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was very nice very clean. The staff was wonderful. It’s just that $30 a day parking but I know that’s what they’re charging nowadays. The only thing is we expected breakfast because they said they had breakfast. I thought may be a Continental breakfast , but there was none of that, There is a little bar there to order snacks and drinks. The other thing is that the parking is very hidden. You can miss it. We went around several times before we we saw it."
