Drift Santa Barbara, a Member of Design Hotels

The staff was friendly and accommodating.

The staff was super friendly. The rooms are gorgeous and exceptionally clean, the glass from the shower looked like I could walk through it. The location is ideal. I would come back again.

The rooms are small but they are clean and perfect for a couples getaway or a business trip. The staff is friendly and we found it conveniently located to everything.

Great location. Very small room. A bit noisy, but they know that as they placed a white noise machine in the room.

Location and room cleanliness Noise from live music makes imposible to sleep

Bad

Nothing It was a terrible property. Tiny toons like a cage. Bed was set against two walls. One would have to climb the other person to get out of bed. My daughter is disabled and we could not use the bed. We left the property shortly after checking in.

Great hotel

I had a nice visit. The rooms are very modern and quiet. Comfortable beds and pillows. Location was awesome. I would recommend they have coffeemakers in the rooms- it was disappointing that they didn't. Also, in the suites, the bathroom sink/ mirror is in a very dark corner so it was really hard to put on makeup.

For the money, this hotel was the pits. Rooms are super small and under-lit. There is no safe for jewelry, etc. Anyone can go up and down the elevators. There were no cups, no ice bucket. Parking was just a general paid parking lot, no discount, no reserved spots. Staff was unfriendly and had attitude (no one to greet us at reception, attitude when we did find someone). No cleaning service unless you request it (is this a thing now?). Beds are comfortable and TV can stream through your own services - thankfully. This hotel is designed to run as cheaply as possible - no art on the walls of the rooms even. Crap towels. Water in the room Day 1, that's it. Felt like no one gave a crap. Never again.

Some of the bar staff were rude Room was very compact and there was no way of opening the window. Music from the bars were very loud until 2am. The hotel offered ear plugs, disappointing

Super cool room. Has everything you need, but definitely on the smaller side. Great if you’re spending most of the time exploring the area, and if you just want a cool spot to lay your head. Coffee shop was great, and the bar is also very aesthetic. Right in the middle of the attention/nightlife, makes it easy to stumble home. I’d come back for sure. Mainly a spot for you and your significant other.

AC was broken 😕. Staff was kind and offered a refund but needed I needed a place to stay

Superb

Disappointing

The rooms are smaller but perfect for a couples getaway the location on state st is right in the middle of all the action and you can walk to just about everything will definitely be recommending to all my couples friends for a great romantic getaway!

The staff was very friendly. They were responsive when we had a question or needed any additional services. They very very helpful and truly liked working there. The room was very dark. There wasn't sufficient light to be able to shave or put on make-up. It could easily be rectified with lights around the mirror or a mirror in the bathroom area. Also, the music from the bars were loud and it was hard to fall asleep.

The property was super modern — sadly the AC was not working properly so I got offer some discount. It works because I only stay for a day but my friends had two nights of that. Not fun in the summer. But we spent most of our day out, and used bicycle from the hotel which was fun. Location is excellent. And a nice bar on site. Will return if the AC is fixed. Since it’s a boutique hotel — no other amenities offered.

The location of the Drift was fantastic and it was a darling place to stay.

Wonderful place! Thank you so much
