Hotels in Upper State Street, Santa Barbara

The hotel looks very well maintained. My room had a sofa and desk along with the king size bed. Big room for a hotel. The bathroom and sink area are alittle small, but very modern and tiled. The shower was excellent. The pool and jucuzzi were crystal clear and clean. Pretty big pool with a deep end of 8 ft. The location is about 8 minute drive to downtown, but there are several restaurants within walking distance. The area seems nice, don’t let the closed hotel next door scare you away.

All the photos are beautiful, the hotel is in a good location, there is free parking, check-in is fast, the lobby is very warm and comfortable, and you can't stay for one night in the small town of Santa Barbara Go again

The Oasis was better than I was expecting based on the reviews here. The pool area is very nice. Many spots to sit outside. The rooms are not huge but not tiny. A King bed, nightstands and a little desk. There is a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. While the location may not be ideal for downtown it is a cental location, very safe with many dining options in walking distance. There is a bus stop just a half a block away that will get you downtown in minutes, for $1.50. The price for the room may seem high, but Santa Barbara is very, very expensive, especially in prime-time summer season. I though it a fair value for the room and location. Lots of families while we were there.

This is your standard 1960's era motel that has been updated. My room was small but clean with a little workspace/nook which was comfy to sit at and eat/work on laptop etc. The floors are the wood laminate, comfy bed with good sheets and pillows. A thin blanket though so people inclined to chill may need a bit more coverage. Shower hot with a water with flow designed for water conservation. Room had one wall mounted t.v with cable and an AC unit that worked well, wi-fi, no problems with parking. The room did not have a fridge or hair dryer. This motel allows dogs for no extra fee. The grounds and area do not have much of a place to walk your doggie however. I had to get in to my map app to find the closest park for dog walking. So for probably one of the lowest price motels in Santa Barbara, it is a clean, bare bones room in a good location in the middle of suburbs with lots of restaurants and shopping options in walking distance. As a single female traveler, I felt safe here.

The receptionist Nicole was super sweet and helpful. She gave details on the room before we stayed and was very attentive. She also shared valuable insights on the school she attended, which happened to be the school my daughter expressed an interest in attending. Her service was exceptional and made our stay truly memorable.

Nos alojamos en este hotel con mi esposo en nuestro camino hacia San Francisco, las habitaciones no son lujosas y hay algunos detalles en la pintura de la pared (desgastada), pero la cama es cómoda y todo estaba limpio. Está ubicado en frente de un supermercado y muchos restaurantes, además tiene parqueadero gratuito. Si buscas lujos no es tu hotel, si quieres descansar en una cama cómoda y limpia si es adecuado. Recomendado!

Where do I start? When the two of us arrived for the 3 PM check-in, there was a note at the desk that someone would return in 10 minutes. 20 minutes later, someone finally arrived and we were able to check in. The room was fairly clean (which is why I give it a 2 instead of a 1). It had a microwave and refrigerator that worked. There was a bare minimum of towels: one hand towel, two bath towels and washcloths, and one floor towel. There was a rack to hang clothes (not a closet) and a desk with a phone. The beds were firm and springy, but not terribly uncomfortable. There was a single electrical plug on the shared nightstand. Now, the negatives.While there was the single plug on the nightstand, that was it. There were no other options for plugging in electronics for charging unless it was at the desk or in the bathroom. It had a coffee maker with no cup, pot, coffee, or any of the other things needed to actually make coffee. There is no breakfast (as advertised). While there was an ice bucket, there was no plastic liner; one must apparently assume that these are sanitized (or use the trash can liner instead). The room was really too small for the two beds. One was up against the window A/C/heat unit (which was smelly and loud and was not used beyond turning it on to discover the smell and noise); the other allowed a 12-inch walkway into the small area containing the desk and hanging rod. The bathroom soap felt like a pumice bar and had to be rubbed vigorously to get the slightest of lather with the rock-hard water. The worst things? The water never got over 100 degrees, even when turned all the way to hot for a 10-minute shower, and there was no place to hang any towels. None. Not only that, there was no housekeeping to replace the used towels. One or the other needs to be a part of any stay. It was not what a 2.5-star experience should be.

I went to Santa Barbara for Parents Weekend. This hotel was the only one I could afford, so I booked it! I'm not super picky, and its one night. If you are looking for a decent price and don't really care about much else, then stay here. I'll start with the positive. The bed was super comfortable, the room was big, had great water pressure in the shower, there was fridge & microwave, and a nice TV. It's disappointing that a few things could make all the difference! For example, fresh paint, some new towels (the bath towels were awful!!!), some new carpet. They need to do a full bathroom remodel. The bathroom was small. The toilet ”rocked” when you sat down. The calking around the room was old and dirty. There was dust all over the place, to include the screens and windows. I feel like its a cross between charming and old. I'd probably stay here again if I had to, but I'll look around and try again.

The resort was beautiful, the room was comfortable and clean. We brought our golden retriever and it was a very pleasant stay for him as well. The location is close enough to the shops and restaurants of State St. but far enough away to be peaceful and not too crowded. My only complaint is the food. We ate at all of the different restaurants and each time we were so disappointed by the quality of the food and the prices were astronomical. I don't mind paying a lot for good food, but this food was worse than what I make at home and I am not a good cook! My daughter ordered the lobster roll at The Set and it was terrible. $30 down the drain. We had breakfast at The Roundhouse and the avocado toast was beyond bland. Then we tried lunch at the Terraza del Mar - I got a chicken Cesar salad and my daughter got a poke bowl. The salad was cole slaw mix and chicken, that was it. Her poke bowl didn't have the rice that it was supposed to have and was horrible, she couldn't have more than a couple bites. I would stay at the resort again, but would never eat at any of their restaurants again. Better to Doordash or eat off property.
