We always stay at the Upham when we go to Santa Barbara…. We always dined at Louies restaurant, which was part of the hotel… we were sad it was closed, however, dining at Bouchon near by was great too! Also the location of the Upham is walkable to EVERYTHING!!!

Loved everything about this place... the friendly staff, the fresh fruit, the coffee was very good, my room was like a tiny cabin (absolutely loved it) quiet and cozy, the gardens were beautiful, other guests were friendly, parking was convenient, and the woman at the desk that helped solve my battery issue! Stayed two nights this is my go to spot anytime in Santa Barbara.

Historical, old but well preserved and maintained. Very clean, upscale amenities in the room. Safe area. Convenient parking. Short walk to historical old town, markets and restaurants. The surrounding gardens are peaceful. I would come back again.

Very comfortable, spacious room, great bed. Wine time, cookies, great coffee. Only complaint is not enough water pressure in shower.
1-night trip

10/10

Very charming hotel with private bungalow rooms and absolutely beautiful grounds. Part of "charming" is that it is a little older, so though it's well kept up generally, do expect some of the things that come with age like thinner walls and slightly older bathrooms. Perfect location just a block and a half from State Street and the historic Arlington theater!
