Top Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum Hotel Reviews

Casa Jardin

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed here several times before and loved it as always"

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."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Barbara Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, my husband and I were really happy with our stay; the room was very quiet and the staff were friendly. The hotel lobby Starbucks coffeemaker didn't work at least three out of the five days we were there, but alternate arrangements were made and we were never without. During our last night, we discovered we were unable to open the sliding glass door to our balcony, which was a disappointment but we were too lazy to contact anyone about it. Also, the room was not cleaned by the time we needed to get ready for dinner (just after 4:40 pm) and we did not contact housekeeping when we headed out for dinner, so we never got our room cleaned that final night of our stay. So, our only complaints were minor enough that we did not contact management to remedy the situations."
