Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location! The staff, maintenance, and housekeeping are all phenomenal. Raffy is a true gem. He takes pride in his job and was the most helpful and accommodating. The only thing that can improve are the amenities. The mini fridge was occupied with ice half its size. We were told it’s a common concern, so they often leak. And there is a $100 charge for a microwave, which didn’t make sense to me. Everything else was amazing and we were pleased."

What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Santa Barbara?
If you choose to stay at a 4-star hotel in Santa Barbara, you'll typically find lots of conveniences to ensure you're relaxed, such as a restaurant, pool and gym. You can enjoy high-quality service and upscale surroundings. Pick a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few extra perks — think on-site spas, around-the-clock concierge and opulent turndown services.
