Ioana
The property is indeed unique - - beautiful architecture - our room however was extremely overpriced for having it face a parking lot and garbage area . The room itself was clean although the carpet had several spots all over. For 1300 / night I would expect more, at least a bigger property with more to do … The pool area was the best thing we experienced in the hotel although they didn’t really have food or drink service - waiters would show up maybe once / hour.
They are located in the best Santa Barbara Funk Zone as it’s called but that also within 2 min walk of commercial transportation train tracks.

Amazing!

Hotel Californian was unfortunately the most disappointing 5-star hotel we've stayed at. We booked two consecutive nights, and despite being told we were \"locked in\" to the same room, we were initially assigned a room with broken A/C—the exact room another couple had just checked out of because of the same problem. Maintenance confirmed the A/C could not be repaired, and we had to pack up and move rooms after dinner.
The replacement room was comfortable with working A/C, but the advertised \"ocean view\" was mostly the rooftop of a neighboring building with only a distant glimpse of the water. The hotel also repeatedly failed to provide enough towels and washcloths for our family of four.
At checkout, we were told a promised $100 resort credit for our second reservation had been given in error at check-in. After explaining we had relied on that information, the hotel agreed to cover about $50 in bar charges instead.
The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and every employee we interacted with was friendly. However, knowingly assigning us a room with broken A/C, the repeated room issues, disappointing ocean view, and nearly $1,000 in incidental holds on my credit cards made this a frustrating experience. For over $2,500 for two nights, I expected far better from a hotel that markets itself as 5 stars.

Our family had a great stay. The rooms were spacious. The staff were incredibly helpful. And the location was perfect. We only had breakfast at the restaurant but it was great both days.
Deborah
There access to apps such as Netflix was not working and only a handful of TV stations that were. When I mentioned it to the manager he said yeah they've been working on it but offered no compensation and that was our one night just to enjoy our hotel room we room service but couldn't watch any movies without the old-fashioned pay I'm gonna get-per-view
Caroline
Great location, no complaints at all. Views were amazing and everyone was very happy, polite, and generally just in good moods!
Sumit
Excellent
David
It was beautiful, loved it!
Maria
Loved the location and decoration. Amazing bed and pillows ❤️
Robert
The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in. One criticism: Shower needs a safety bar installed because there is nothing to hold on to and the floor is slippery when wet. Older folks like us need that.

We stayed here one night in May. Here are the highlights:
-Hotel staff was nowhere to be found once we were escorted to the building we were staying in (multiple buildings).
-The hotel bar closed at 8pm.
-We attempted to make use of the amenities - rooftop pool - but due to what I presume was cloudy weather the chairs outside had no cushions and there were no hotel staff to service.
-I was awakened by a 3am washing of our room's windows. I contacted staff which got back to me 6 hours later to apologize and offer some credit for the inconvenience. This was unacceptable and ridiculous. What an oversight.
-The next day we met up with friends at the pool which was crowded. It took 1 hour for our diet cokes to arrive. And my friend was treated rudely by the staff member running the pool. I'm not sure if he ended up paying for fruit that we never received.
-After checkout I was surprised to be charged for undisclosed $60+ \"leisure fees\" and $14 delivery for the room service we ordered on arrival (ultimately this was comped due to the window incident). But I really wonder how they possibly justify this added expense given the lack of attentive staff and narrow hours of operation.
Overall this is simply not a luxury destination hotel. It's a beautiful location with well designed facilities. But they are currently charging inflated rates for what seemed like a short-staffed operation.

We had an awesome time at hotel Californian there rooftop pool is great. All the restaurants which are all walking distance were delicious. Very friendly staff and great rooms with balcony views of the ocean.

I just think it was significantly over priced for the provided room. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable hard cheap mattresses I've been on. Loud and squeaky. The ac unit was loud. Upstairs guests loud, but that's not really a hotel issue. Fees were crazy and not listed prior. 60$ for parking plus 60$ for amenities that you don't even use. I would go to the ritz next time.

The hotel is beautiful. Location is perfect. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it. We had the king size bed and literally melted to sleep, it was so comfortable.
Jill
Spotless rooms and the beds were AMAZING
Lydia
The room was beautiful, and the hotel is in a great location. We got an early check-in, always nice. Lots of restaurants in the area. Easy walk to the wharf and beach. Going the opposite direction on State St., you come to the busy area of State St. Further on down (10 min. drive), you come to lower State St. with a calmer vibe of restaurants and shops. Wish we had been able to stay longer.
Moti
Love the design and location.

This hotel truly sucked. The service was poor, restaurant & bar closed on a holiday weekend. Had to order room service that didn’t have a full bar - ordered $100 champagne that was served in a plastic pitcher with no top and warm. Waiter didn’t even pour for us. Took 30 min to receive towels at the pool and security failed to recognize us as guests and tried to deny us entry.
$1200 per night? Sucked really badly!

Gabby (manager) and the rest of her staff did everything to make our 10th wedding anniversary something special. I truly plan on making this trip to SB and staying at Hotel Californian an annual trip.
The proximity to the beach was incredible. The rooftop pool has an incredible view. I took my time selecting a hotel that would make this a special weekend. And there was definitely some concern prior to arriving that my expectations would not be met. But with Gabby’s guidance, our stay felt special and classy. I would highly recommend staying here.

This was our first visit to the area and our first stay at Hotel Californian. We were very pleased with the overall experience. The hotel offers excellent value, impeccable cleanliness, and attentive service. The property is stylish and well maintained, and the staff made us feel welcome. We look forward to returning.
Gino
This has got to be one of the worst trips I've ever been on.
Sandra
So luxurious, and the staff were outstanding!
Thomas
We arrived and had requested early check-in prior to arrival. We got to the hotel around 1240 and I know early check-in’s are not guaranteed but the lady at the front desk told us that we will be able to check in very soon, and I mean very soon. We said no problem and went to have some lunch and then came backa couple of hours later and the room is still not ready.

Beautiful property very centrally located I didn't find our stay to be over the top even though we paid a lot to be there. We tried to play cards one night no one could help. We tried to order dinner to the patio one night no one could tell us how to do that either. We ended up just ordering Uber. Not the service I was expecting in such a high end hotel.
John
Beautiful hotel in a great part of town. Easy access to restaurants, safe and friendly staff
Sarah
Not so much
The rooftop hot tub that we were looking forward to was out of service ☹️
Disappointing considering the luxury price tag for our stay

Diane
We paid $1400 for our room and I would not say this was a $1400/night experience. First the staff forgot to tell us our room was ready. Then I went to use the shower and it had dirt on the wall and the shower curtain so our $1400/night room clearly had not been cleaned. Lastly we had appointments at the spa. There were no amenities and we were supposed to have specialized treatments but just ended up with basic massages. Save your money and go to the Ritz.

Superior service and magical stay.
My wife and I came here for our one year anniversary. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. I once stayed in a Ritz Carlton and our stay here was far superior with beauty and amazing costumer service. We will be back. Thank you to all the staff at Hotel Californian for making our stay welcoming and magical.
Madeleine
The property and room were luxe. The location is awesome but feels a little touristy. Great rooftop and pool - spacious and relaxing. The restaurant across the street was just okay. All in all, a great spot!

We liked the location. Unfortunately an elevator was not working so we had limited options for a room, however we were put in a very nice room on the 3rd floor.

The 2 queen room was enormous!! Lots to do very close by. Santa Barbara pier right across the street.

This is a beautiful property and staff were very friendly. Check in was great and and the room was ready upon arrival. The decor is fabulous and the bathroom and bed a dream! Room service was quick, hot and delicious! The only negative is the lack of any stores in the area so come stocked if you want cheaper options than those provided in the mini bar. There are a million restaurants in and around the hotel so you will not lack dining options.

Very friendly

Beautiful property but somewhat over-priced considering how difficult it was to find ice, coffee, and get room temperature right. It’s like Santa Barbara: expensive doesn’t automatically get you great value!

Weekend in Santa Barbara
Beautiful, spacious and clean room. Hotel location is perfect -- a block to the beach and great restaurants and bars within feet of the hotel plus, plenty more to choose from by simply walking up State Street. The Goat Tree restaurant which is part of the hotel was excellent.

Lovely hotel and lounge , nice staff ,
The restaurant Blackbird needs to update its menu, if it is Marrocan fusion then make it so.

Disappointing service standard-won't return
This property is advertised as 5 star and charges prices to match. Our experience was average at best. We are well traveled. The customer service was lacking and while friendly, did not feel professional. Too laid back and unattentive. We stayed in the main building and so had to walk across State street to use the pool. The pool and hot tub area were littered with trash and not picked up regularly. There was a strong sewage smell our entire stay, which may be out of their control, but certainly is not disclosed. Delayed response (the next day) in cleaning up pool area after we brought it to their attention. When we booked, we had messaged with staff who had planned a special surprise for my spouse in our room upon check-in. They forgot this and so we had to call down for it. There was no info given on how to procure filtered water and ice. No water bottles were in our room upon check-in. We received a different room than what we booked online. No one greeted us as we entered or exited the hotel, or asked how our stay was going and if we needed anything. In-room dining closes at 8pm and their restaurants have limited hours other than the Goat tree. The only positive for us was the proximity to the Funk Zone. We would not stay here again.

The staff gave you 0 information on the property when you checked in for amenities etc.. Stay at the Harbor View Inn across the street but actually as close to the beach as you can get for 1/3 the cost instead. Hopefully the 4 Seasons will reopen. That beach has all of the best restaurants.

Solid hotel but does not price tag
Beautiful hotel but not worth the 800 dollar a night price tag. The pool is tiny and no breakfast included in the price tag. I think it’s a bit too much for a two queen room.

We had the very BEST room and the area was perfect for a long relaxing weekend. Furnishings were high end and sleek. Super comfortable bedding and just gorgeous architecture and views of the ocean. Loved it!!!

Overall lovely hotel
Overall we loved this hotel- we only had one experience not so favorable-my husband purchased several post cards, hopeful to mail them to a few family members-we went to the front desk to see if there were any stamps that we could purchase- a very young female reception desk attendee told us that they could mail the postcards, but did not offer to help us find stamps. We ended up finding out from a staff member at Santa Barbara Winery that the local visitor centers sell stamps. It would have taken so little effort for the female reception to offer this service to us- otherwise all was great- the little extra service would have really impressed us-

We loved the look and decor of this hotel. The staff was very responsive and friendly too. We liked the courtyard area to relax and people watch and visit with our friends and family who met us at the hotel!
