Top Arts and Culture Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Californian

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing!"

Simpson House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was a fairy tale. We only stayed one night but it was a welcome respite. I was transported to England. A beautiful garden with soothing fountains and a quaint garden and delicious. Frank, Hailey and Dana greeted us like old friends. Top notch hospitality. One of the best places. We will be back again. Thank you"

The Franciscan Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here as a family of three with our baby and had a good experience overall. The hotel is reasonably priced, in a convenient location, and has easy parking and a quick check-in process. We had an issue with our first room. The staff fixed it right away, but when the problem came back the next day, they offered to move us to a different room without any hassle. Breakfast is included and has the basics—egg bites, bacon, sausage, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, bagels, pastries, and coffee. Nothing special, and the hot food was pretty salty, but it was convenient. They also put out freshly baked complimentary chocolate chip cookies at 3 p.m. The hotel is pet-friendly, so expect to see dogs around the property. Overall, it's a good value, and we'd stay here again."

Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The customer service was exceptional. We were married by the courthouse in Santa Barbara and we stayed here right after our ceremony and the staff did everything to make our visit extra comfortable and fun because of it. Our room was clean and the bed was so soft and comfy. I loved their plush pillows. The location of the hotel is perfect,it's just walking distance from downtown activities. We will definitely be back."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a wonderful place to stay. I had a great night sleep and a great breakfast. My room was perfect! The bed was so comfortable, and the kitchen was so big and had everything one would need for an extended stay. Everything was great! I wish I had another day there. I will be sure to stay here again on my next trip. It was a 10 out of 10."
