My daughter and I loved this choice for a hotel. We didn’t know anything about it but the price fit what we were looking for in the area we were hoping for. The reviews we read are all accurate to our experience. It was the ideal location and the room we had was quiet. The space was small but super functional and fit two of us perfectly. The cafe downstairs is a delight and you get a free coffee daily. We will definitely be back and we’re so sad to leave!

We travelled with 2 large suitcases therefore the room was completely unpractical, you could not open both cases in the room without completely limiting any space for movement.
The rooms have little natural light and I was disappointed with the small things ie. no supplies of cotton pads etc. and the policy of rooms not being cleaned unless requested on WhatsApp. This should be a given in a hotel.
We were booked to stay 2 nights but found ourselves leaving and checking in to an alternative hotel for the 2nd night, the receptionist was not sympathetic to this matter.

I would also add don’t rely on using the bikes which were ‘complementary’, I am guessing there is 2 allocated to the hotel as they were never available.

It was the worst room we've ever stayed in and we've traveled the world. All black and concrete - cold. Couldn't hear the TV because of the live music outside our window. It was like a jail cell or an air raid bunker. The bed was against the wall, so we had to crawl over each other to get in and out. The lighting was terrible for putting on make-up. After the first use of the toilet we had to have it unplugged. I would like to get my money back. I would never tell anyone to stay there. The young man who checked us in and serviced the toilet was very nice. The girl who checked us out was distant. The bar tender was very nice. The young lady who made our morning coffee was very nice.

Our stay at Drift Santa Barbara was memorable from check-in to check-out. The keyless, contactless system was seamless—easy arrival and departure on our own schedule. The room was a pleasure with modern fixtures, a comfortable, cozy bed, and a rain shower. Everything on the property felt stylish and well cared for.

Dusk and Dawn are the heartbeats of the Drift Hotel. Dusk invites you to unwind with craft cocktails in a warm mezcal bar featuring bold pours and shareable bites with live music offered on Tuesday evenings. Dawn greets you with fresh coffee and a bright start to your day. Guests enjoy complimentary drip coffee, free bicycles for exploring the area, and paid public parking that sits right behind the hotel.

The location is unbeatable. Right on State Street, we walked to restaurants, bars, the beach, the Tuesday farmers market, the Museum of Art, independent bookstores, and Paseo Nuevo shopping mall. Free bikes took us farther. We pedaled to the El Mirador Clock Tower and climbed to its 88-foot deck, enjoying a full 360-degree panorama of the coast and mountains.

Drift is convenient and quiet, with a relaxed style that made our Southern California staycation feel special. We highly recommend it and are already looking forward to coming back.

The location of The Drift is perfect. Everything is very walkable make it super convenient.

One item to note, the rooms are VERY SMALL. Well decorated but unless you are getting a larger room they really aren't meant for 2 people.

I will say the staff are AMAZING, from great communication prior to going and during the stay, everyone was great!!

Definitely would recommend this hotel as it wasn't a bad stay, just was thrown off by the room size for the price.

The hotel was cute but the room was tiny with a completely clear glass shower in the middle of the room. Also the bed is fixed to the walls so there’s only one side to get in and out of the bed. They really meant cozy when they described the room. The cafe and bar downstairs was convenient but also a bit loud at night. We didn’t know it at the time but it was graduation weekend for UCSB so the cost of accommodations were a bit astronomical. I think the room would have been more economically priced during off season. I would recommend if you are trying solo. If you are traveling with another person, I hope you know each other very well.

The hotel was very clean, smelled great, and all the staff were very nice. However, the rooms on the first floor were different than what was shown in the pictures and was misleading. The room did not have a balcony and barely had a window. It was laughable how much this felt like an upscale jail cell. I went back to look at the size because it was tiny, it’s just over 100 sq ft. It made me feel claustrophobic and there wasn’t a ton of privacy with the bathroom area.

I booked this stay expecting a relaxing, high-end experience, and instead had one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever had.
The hotel failed to disclose that a large music festival was taking place directly next to the property, with loud DJ sets running until 2am. From check-in at 4pm through late into the night, there was constant, heavy bass and music blasting outside my window. This was not minor noise. It made it impossible to relax or even comfortably sit in the room.
When I called the front desk shortly after arriving to ask when the music would end, I was told I could use earplugs and a noise machine. I raised multiple concerns during my stay, and while the front desk agent was kind, no meaningful solution was offered that evening.
The following day, I spoke with the Assistant General Manager, Oscar, who lacked empathy and stated there was nothing they could do, claiming they were unaware of the event. This was difficult to believe given that there were visible flyers posted outside the hotel and throughout the surrounding streets promoting the festival and its late hours.
A small discount was offered, which did not come close to addressing the severity of the disruption. I requested a follow-up conversation with the General Manager and was told I would receive a call on Monday, April 6. That call never happened.

Hotel side of things was all pretty good. I saw some other rooms that housekeeping was in and some of these rooms a scary small. I'm glad I opted for a more expensive room so we had the extra room space. The view was great, room styling and decor was awesome. Location is about the best for the area also. I recommend a room overlooking state st or the penthouse is out of this world.

My one let down was Dusk & Dawn. They are nice but I was under the impression that they were larger and that Dusk would have a good menu for dinner. It's just drinks and snacks. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to mention. There's a lot of food places in the area and the hotel alone is worth the stay. The staff were all great and very friendly. Facilities were also clean and well kept.

Had the DRIFT Penthouse room. Aesthetically it was awesome. Could be better designed.
PROs:
- large rooms, nice layout
- beautiful deck
- as many towels as needed
- coffee/espresso maker, microwave and fridge
- 2 bathrooms
- location close to a lot of restaurants and other sights
- easy access with door codes
- liked both DAWN and DUSK downstairs
CONs:
- master bath had 6\" gap between door and glass - zero privacy
- no place to put luggage or clothes except on couch (can stuff shoes or unused luggage under bed)
- can't reach some curtains without standing on couch
- no place to sit and work on computer or write anything (need to stand at kitchen island - no chairs - or sit with computer on lap)
- bathroom mirrors only have lights on 1 side - very trendy but impractical (put up a makeup mirror or add lights!)
- only 1 side of bed had bedside table
- kept running into hanging lamp on 1 side of bed (hang it higher)
-outdoor furniture is fixed/modular and faces the building wall - not the view. Put 2 chairs out there that can be moved. Along with a small table.
- music across the street is VERY loud all evening
- should be clearer how and when you get door codes and/or say there is a person there to check you in (we scrambled to get them while driving since none auto- arrived as they had said)
- very expensive for all the CONs

Shows great online but looks were deceiving… overall, great location & aesthetic but small rooms felt like a hostel right off the State Street bar. Paying nearly $500 / night for a closet-sized room, which hotel doesn’t have photos online, felt misrepresented.


PROS: great location, clean & modern vibe, friendly staff.
CONS: absolutely tiniest rooms on first floor, felt like a closet (bathroom / shower / sitting “area” / sink / bed all within 10ft room).
First floor room right off public State Street bar, can hear loud party noise throughout the night.
limited to no staff, single person (very friendly and accommodating) manning a concierge booth outside the coffee shop attached to first floor.

Quirky hotel with digital check in with reception desk on the street & use PIN code instead of a key to get in room. Made the most of a small room by including a fridge & glass surround shower in middle of room, however the bed only had one way of getting in & out so not easy for couples who may have to climb over their sleeping partner. Lighting very bad for doing makeup as me & my two friends found out who were in other rooms. Friendly staff and ideal location for walking to the beach, going out for dinner and shopping.

What is so special about the Drift are the people. Everyone from folks at the coffee shop, check in team, to the GM Jacqueline are so lovely and provide excellent customer service! So completely above and beyond to make my stay wonderful!

I love the streamline design of the rooms, the yoga mat in every room, and the coffee every morning at Dawn! There are bikes and surf boards to borrow and enjoy in SB. Make sure you check out the yoga studio too!

Also, the location is perfect for exploring, especially all of the vintage shops and The Funk Zone!
I highly recommend staying at The Drift, and hope to check out their other properties.

The check-in/out is all done through text messages and very convenient and quick.

The room felt uncomfortably small for two people, with limited privacy in the bathroom area. Although the ventilation system was running, it didn’t seem to circulate the air effectively. Even with all the lights on, the room remained quite dim, contributing to a confined and gloomy atmosphere. The layout was awkward, with the wash sink positioned unusually close to the bed — it felt more like a converted bathroom than a proper guest room. At times, the space felt so claustrophobic that I had to leave the room just to get some relief.

design & great team let down by operation choices

We had a number of SB options and I chose Drift based on the aesthetic which does not disappoint. Unfortunately the views and size are quite significantly different than the pictures.

It is my responsibility to check sq footage. I did not. The views etc are sadly not as represented and linens, towels were in very rough shape, frayed and worn, etc. On the other hand, staff was extraordinary and would have done anything in their power to help. Would definitely encourage the team to return to coffee in the room. Doesn’t make for a relaxing stay when you need to dress to coffee. For the price and excellent staff, some things are not meeting the level they should.

The property is pretty new, since 2022! I loved the style and design of the property. It smelled fresh the minute you stepped into the hallways going up towards your room. I liked that they had a cafe and bar downstairs that was picturesque. It’s right in State St. so everything from the Pier to the shopping centers were a few feet away. Check in was very easy, I did everything virtual.
When we got there there was a staff to assist with things in case we needed it but we were able to get our key code and walk in without room keys. I wish all hotels were this easy! Incidentals cost $100 for 2 nights. Probably $50 a night.

I would totally go back! If I had to say one thing I would’ve wanted improved… it would probably be the dust. I wish they dusted parts of the room better, especially the wood on the walls. The windows picked up dust easily. I was sneezing away a lot but other than that… the room itself was nice and “cozy”.

The uniqueness of this property is a model of how the future hotels will evolve into. It is a modern hot spot with well trained staff.

Great location; staff was very nice and accomodating. The room was small, dimly lit with little space for hanging clothes and luggage. The bed was very comfortable but hard to get in and out of since it was up against a wall.

Centrally located that a the good point , otherwise Room small and badly arranged, noisy (one understands why ds earplugs provided) awakes at 6h by the dustbin truck...no employees except in line thus not really friendly...sorry for the report...otherwise Santa Barbara is splendid!
