Top Santa Barbara Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good

"It’s not as nice as it looks. We had a terrible ant problem in our room and the a/c didn’t work properly. The wine and cheese was ok, as was the breakfast, but nothing as good as it seems from the advertising."

The Upham Hotel

8/10 Good

"The grassy courtyard with chairs and a gazebo to enjoy were great! Peaceful and relaxing. The room was nice but dated. The furniture was old. One of the chairs had a hole on the fabric of the arm. Things looked worn. We had a nice patio that we enjoyed daily. Definately a 3 star hotel but with a 4 -5 star price."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is simply the best!"

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Can't say enough good things about this hotel! Nice spacious rooms, clean, great pool area with plenty of loungers, and lots of other outdoor places to sit and enjoy a drink. The amount of amenities (breakfast, wine/cheese happy hour, bikes, elec charging and more) makes this a great value. They even have a self-serve very inexpensive laundry room at their sister property next door. Thanks for a great stay in Santa Barbara!"

Hotel Californian

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay! Had a great time, loved the pool and location! Staff was amazing!"
