We stayed here for our wedding and it was so perfect. We walked to the courthouse and so many stores and restaurants nearby we didn’t have to drive anywhere. The hotel was great. Staff is so friendly (Chole was amazing) the room was beautiful, the complimentary wine and coffee was great. The bar was great. All the food and drinks were so delicious. We will be coming back for our anniversary.

My stay at the Kimpton Canary was very relaxing. I was initially roomed immediately off the elevator but Chloe ensured that I was moved to a different floor and room. This elevated my experience from the beginning-had my room not been changed, it would have been a poor experience as it was not a cheap stay for 3 nights. Hotel is overall expensive. Some features are nice but not $450 /night (and I came in the off-season) not including amenities such as Wifi, coffee bar, and a gym which were additional ~ $39 /daily. Other hotels have similar amenities included. That makes a huge difference for people when adding $200 depending on # of nights. Perhaps could charge a one time fee for amenities. I didn't have a car but parking is also additional-seems to be standard around the area. A a bit of a hassle. Pool was wonderful. Fireplaces however were not working nor were the space heaters up on the roof. Would have been nice to have had those functional for those wanting to sit and read after the sun went down. Room had some noise as walls were pretty thin. Bicycles were a nice addition-property has about 11 and, while it was not very crowded when I was there, I would imagine certain times of the year they are harder to reserve. Great safe location of State St. Very walkable/rideable to restaurants, shops, and approx 20 min to beach. Overall, I had an enjoyable stay and will definitely consider a repeat stay when I return to beautiful Santa Barbara. Cheers! AD

Perfect location for day trip!

This hotel was the highlight of our roadtrip! The hotel was very pleasant and the restaurant was amazing. The location for walking to the pier and browsing shops along the way was a perfect day. If ever in Santa Barbara again, we will definitely stay here.

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!
