My stay at the Hotel Californian was excellent. The hotel is right in the center of Santa Barbara, so it's easy to go shopping or see the sights. The hotel looks really nice, with a mix of old and new styles. My room was very clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. Every little detail made me feel special and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They always made sure I was okay and helped me with anything I needed. They were very kind and made me feel welcome. In short, my stay at Hotel Californian was a great experience. I recommend it to everyone visiting Santa Barbara.

Location is excellent, near the beach and a number of great restaurants nearby. Room service food was the best I've ever had! The rooftop pool and hottub were amazing. We spent most of our time there and loved every minute of it! Our room was spacious and very quiet.
Our room had minor damage on the furniture and cabinets, like a dog had chewed on things and they hadn't been fixed. The beds were too soft for our taste, but that seems to be a luxury thing in most hotels. The hotel is REALLY expensive and there is no option for parking except valet which was more $ than advertised.

Amazing location and rooftop pool
No storage to put clothes away in room and we really did not like the restaurant Blackbird - very little choice, no child friendly options and super expensive for the quality

Beautiful hotel in prime location for SB. Staff were excellent and naturally welcoming. Room was lovely and in very good condition. very child friendly hotel
like all the hotels in these types of locations California the cost of the valet parking (only option) is ridiculous when you think about how much you’re paying for a room!

Differing venues were available for breakfast which if you hadn’t booked in advance you would queue with non-residents to secure a table which I found slightly surprising giving the room rate.
Clearer guidance on arrival - Reception seemed to be keener on explaining the charge to be taken from my card for additional charges rather than taking time to explain the facilities and options for dining, bar and breakfast. A simple map would be useful given the hotel is multi-site.

The location is great (2 minutes to the beach and pier), the rooms are spacious, the design of the hotel & rooms is wonderful, the bathroom is really luxurious and our room was really quiet.
The staff at the reception was friendly but not really helpful. We had to change rooms and waited hours for our new room to be ready.

My second time staying at this hotel and I love the design and location. The rooftop pool is something I looked forward to returning to after my first visit, and it did not disappoint.
Expected bathrobes in the closets. I also enjoyed the (lower-tier) room on my last visit more than this one with the fireplace b/c the views weren't as good, and the fireplace wouldn't work.

The room was perfect - overlooked state street and the ocean. Wonderful balcony and surprisingly quiet. Also, the location can't be beat with plenty of restaurants/bars/shopping around - and of course the ocean a block away!
Leaving. Packing up the car and going.
