We were in town for a benefit. We wanted to stay close to the venue in a walkable area. The first room was loud. We were promptly moved to another room. Everyone was polite and very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable. Excited to come back.

Surprised 30th bday celeb-success!

The service is wonderful. My family and I were there for my daughter’s surprised 30th birthday and we reserved 3 rooms. The front desk were very accommodating when I requested to have our rooms on the same floor and as close together as possible. Chloe made it happen! She was wonderful to talk to. Everyone from valet parking to bar and restaurant and housekeeping, staffs were very friendly.

Buyer Beware

Tried to check in "early" at 2:40 but had to wait in the lobby for 45 minutes for the room to be cleaned. Did not realize that the check in time is so late. Got to our room with "outdoor living space". Hahaha. Three feet of balcony with two chairs jammed in that subtracted three feet from the "indoor living space". Oh, and $50 a night to park. Should have read the fine print.
"outdoor living space" includes beautiful view of the gas station across the street!

A nice but not great hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. The hotel has some good facilities (parking - for a fee, gym, bar and restaurant). The location is good for exploring downtown and the beach (bike, or a 25 min walk). We had some issues with noise outside the room in the early mornings; one day due to a delivery, the other due to an unhoused person. The room was nice but the bathroom lacks any kind of sound proofing or even a solid door... It was also missing robes, coffee/kettle (though they were available on request) so felt not quite up to the usual Kimpton standard. But overall would recommend, just not a *great* hotel for the price
