Kimpton Canary Hotel by IHG
"The customer service was exceptional. We were married by the courthouse in Santa Barbara and we stayed here right after our ceremony and the staff did everything to make our visit extra comfortable and fun because of it. Our room was clean and the bed was so soft and comfy. I loved their plush pillows. ..."

Haley Hotel
"Wish there was a bit more storage or shelves in the room. Great for a one night stay but anymore than that and a dresser/closet or bench would have been appreciated. The property is adorable, it’s our second day and we will definitely come back."
