Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Room was very clean all updated and the bed was very comfortable. We were very pleased with everything and will stay again.
Great place! Location was very convenient as it’s a quick walk to the Santa Barbara downtown area. Clean and comfortable, lots of thoughtful amenities in the room.
10/10 this is like a hotel/apartment. In great condition. Supplies with all amenities for free of charge. Parking underground which is a plus, one car per unit. Single, king size bed and plenty of space for 2 people. Definitely will book here when I'm back. Convenient to walk downtown Santa Barbara.
Our stay at Casa Rivera was excellent. The location was right down town and very convenient, with ample parking in a private garage below our building. The room was very clean, spacious and well appinted. In addition we had a nice private patio to enjoy with a beautiful view of the mountains. The communication with our host was top notch. The responses to our questions were very prompt. We highly recommend Casa Riviera.
Room had a clean esthetic warm & cozy vibe to it, so cute I loved it. Process was simple I appreciated the independence, it was like my own personal unit with garage included. Will be returning!
Parking underneath building was convenient. The place was very comfortable in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of everything. It was clean and spacious and stylish. Communication was great. The hosts are very prompt in replies.
Amazing stay and highly recommend. Our room and this property was so beautiful, comfy, cozy, and a little bit of luxury without breaking the bank. We LOVED our stay.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The staff was excellent, communicated early on and made check-in such an easy process. Close to State Street! We brought our dog and had the best stay. Looking forward to staying here again!
The room and building are new and very well maintained, the little kitchenette has all you would need, central location only 4 blocks from food and shopping.
Make sure you get email that has room number and code as checking in is all digital, the team emails quickly with any information
This was such a beautiful place to stay within close proximity of the Santa Barbara courthouse. It was quiet, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the rainfall shower was amazing! We booked a room with a Mountain View which I highly recommend! Parking was easy as well.
Great property for the modern business or leisure traveler. Central location, easy check in and out, beautifully decorated and usefully stocked studio. Also shout out to Chester from hospitality care for prompt and efficient communication and help for dealing with a minor snafu.
Would highly recommend and will be back!
