    Great location, super friendly staff. The valet guys were amazing! It’s expensive

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Incredible front desk staff and very thoughtful amenities! Ben was so lovely and upgraded my room. Bed was super comfy, and the hotel is very dog friendly. Can't wait to come back! Tea selection in the morning could be better, but other than that, great!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Phenomenal staff made every day easy and comfortable. Kimpton social hour from 5 to 6 was an evening ritual we enjoyed.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It’s a great home base in a convenient downtown location

  • Engine customer May 2026

    One of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. The lady that checked me in was the best in customer service!!!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The gym contracted by the hotel was quite a far distance from the hotel

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was excellent, the rooftop pool, coffee bar in the morning, and wine reception at night were all top-notch. The staff was very friendly, the manager shook my hand and introduced himself.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great location in downtown SB.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was spacious and clean. The location is perfect. Close to all the restaurants and shops in downtown Santa Barbara. We'll definitely stay here again. The pool and rooftop deck are excellent!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Fantastic staff. Decades of steady support of staff really show up in service. Kimpton Canary Santa Barbara excels with extraordinary staffing.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great location and friendly, helpful staff. For the premium price paid, the room and bathroom were disappointing. An old shower and tub, not the luxury, renovated experience advertised. We were also across from construction which woke us at 7am. Lacklustre pool area, and the tea and coffee station was not stocked regularly. We had to ask for peppermint tea multiple times. I was also was asked to pay a tax that I had already paid.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    I was disappointed with my stay …I paid a 5 star rate for a 2 star experience. The was stuffy, no water or amenities other than at the front desk. Not a terrible hotel … just not worth the $$! charged.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Clean room, friendly staff. The morning coffee was very welcoming. The pool area was so nice I wish we had more time!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    We only stayed one night as we were traveling through but the staff was nice, room was clean

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    I loved this hotel. We will definitely be back

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    We’ve stayed here many times. Room was great. Front desk staff was kind but adequate. Great location. Solid restaurant. It’s a good property.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Great location. Quiet. Great staff.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The room was spacious with modern furniture and very comfortable beds. The walls were a bit thin, but thankfully it never got too noisy during our stay. Also - the vanilla latte is a must. So good! I’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend staying here.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    The staff were all so incredibly nice and helpful. I absolutely loved the pillows and the bed. My room faced a somewhat busy street
