Mixed Experience at The Upham Hotel
6.0We enjoyed our stay at The Upham Hotel overall. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, and the customer service was excellent. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of outdoor seating areas to relax and enjoy the property. That said, our room wasn’t quite what we expected, especially for the price. It felt smaller than it appeared in the photos, and there were several maintenance and wear issues that made it feel less upscale than we anticipated. The bathroom door didn’t close completely, the sofa was noticeably worn and stained, and the bedskirt had a large hole in it. We understand that this is a historic hotel and appreciate its charm, but we were expecting the furnishings and room condition to be better maintained. Overall, we had a pleasant stay because of the wonderful staff and lovely grounds, but we do think the guest rooms could use some updates and better upkeep to better reflect the hotel’s pricing.
Disappointed and frustrated.
2.0Very frustrating and disappointing experience. The in-room heating/cooling unit was making a lot of noise regardless of whether the unit was on or off, making it difficult to sleep in the room. I asked staff on two consecutive days to address the problem and was told it would be fixed. It was never fixed and when I asked staff why the issue was not addressed they passed the blame to other staff members who were not present. Not a good experience.
Perfect stay in Santa Barbara
9.0Secluded, quite, spacious with old world charm. Breakfast of pastries was very nice. Great place to unwind.
− Parking at the hotel is too limited, first come first serve, which feels crowded.
The hotel is cute and quaint but many rooms you need to go up a steep narrow staircase.
8.0Quaint
− Stairs

7.0location and staff
