My husband and I spent a lovely and relaxing weekend at the Upham. We found it quite charming, clean, and quiet. It was also a short walk to downtown State street. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was comfortable. We appreciated the wonderful pastries and coffee offered every morning, and the refreshing wine during happy hour. We only wish the A/C in the room was quieter. But other than that, we give this hotel 5 stars. We will definitely come back.

The staff was very helpful allowing me to store my luggage as i arrived earlier than expected. Their restaurant recommendation was great and I enjoyed my lunch. Loved the greenspace in the middle of the compund. Enjoyed a glass of wine from happy hour while taking in the garden and watching the wildlife. Can't say enough about the staff making me feel at home!

Omg, The Upham is a great hotel & cottage place to stay in Santa Barbara! The staff Veronica, Samantha & Ana were superior to my stay for 3 nights. I gave it 4 stars because of the WiFi. If you have work to do plan for slow wifi or set time for work getting done in a nearby cafe. Otherwise, enjoy your stay!! If you need anything, just ask the front desk. It’s a great experience.

I really liked the quaint environment of the Upham Hotel and how convenient it was to get to surrounding shops and restaurants by foot. The service was great with daily room cleanings and perks such as a “happy hour” which made our time there more enjoyable. The grounds are immaculately kept and helped give us additional spaces to enjoy during our stay. Our room was the right size to make it comfortable without being too large or costly. Would definitely recommend the Upham Hotel to anyone traveling to the Santa Barbara area!

This is a lovely property very convenient to walk to restaurants, shopping and coffee shops. Pillows could better but didn't diminish our enjoyment of the lovely porch and happy hour! The restaurant was closed but will definitely make a nice option when available
