Oyster

Mid-Range

"This classic 1926 hotel lies on the heart of Santa Barbara's famous State Street, known as a popular destination for shopping, dining, and nightlife." Full review

Lonely Planet

"Old-fashioned yet unpretentious, the 1925 Hotel Santa Barbara has rooms done up with rattan and blond-wood furnishings and sunny Mediterranean colors – Provence meets the beach." Full review

Star Service

"Located less than a mile from the pier (a 15-minute walk), this was once a key player in downtown Santa Barbara, and aided in the gentrification of lower State Street." Full review

Active guests can ask for discounted day passes to 24 Hour Fitness, just two blocks away from the hotel.

Rough Guide

"Considering its prime Downtown location, this spot offers good value for its comfortable rooms, internet access and complimentary breakfast."

Gayot

"The hotel may not have a pool or restaurant (apart from a handy Starbucks outlet), but with this incredibly central State Street location, they may not be missed."

The Telegraph

8.0

"A solid choice in the heart of Santa Barbara’s historic downtown. Its unique character and role in Santa Barbara’s story is not only indelible but still being written." Full review
