Great place. They changed my room for me immediately when the gate to my cottage couldn't close.

Staff were very accommodating. Room temperature was problematic due to air handling systems that did not provide a way to easily have air movement. It was unseasonably warm and the room became quite stuffy. Lots of lovely places to sit outside and on covered porches. Nice continental breakfast provided each morning.

This is a very lovely hotel! It’s such a cozy place that feels like home. All the staff were very friendly and talkative. At 5pm they had complementary wine. At 7pm they brought out cookies. It’s also a 4 minute walk from a shopping market, which is very close. Overall, this experience was fabulous. I 100% recommend coming here if you want somewhere with history and you want to have a good experience.

The room was small but fine but unfortunately the staff was not great and the hotel amenities are not what they used to be. They now charge for early check in. Hotels.com should note that parking is on a first come first served basis

We stayed in the cottage in Jan. of '26 and had a delightful time. The hotel (more of an inn) is located within a few blocks of all our favorite Santa Barbara hangs, and the cozy, peaceful environment inside was particularly nice. The cottage itself was lovely, very private with a feeling of seclusion, and well worth what we paid. I just wish the bed were one big mattress rather than two small ones pushed together.

They send you a text saying to text or call for any questions. When I texted them, they only responded once out of the three times I texted so I had to call them. They said they do housekeeping daily. I left at around 11am and made sure the Do Not Disturb sign was taken down. Came back to the room around 4pm and the room was not cleaned, even though the room across from us was being cleaned when we left.

I was excited to have a room with a fireplace, only to find out that it’s a little fake log in the fireplace that let out a bunch of fumes in my room. Obviously not happy with that. Disappointed to also find out that the ice machine was broken. The room felt tired, though I realized because I did not book through the hotel directly, I might not have had the best choice. I decided to leave early and the staff was very nice and was as accommodating and sympathetic as they were able to be so no problem there. However, Hotels.com went way out of their way to accommodate my request, and I have to say I was very happy and impressed by Customer Service. The Upham is overall a lovely historic property, and charming. They have always had a really nice restaurant on site. It’s walkable to many great spots to eat and explore in downtown Santa Barbara. I have stayed in other bed-and-breakfasts in town who go out of their way to provide yummy treats in the room, and spend more attention to detail. Uphams’ nightly cookie treats, for example were Oreos… believe they are working on restoring some of the rooms and that will be a welcome change.
