Kimpton Canary Hotel

I’ll start by saying this is the first review I have ever written about anything… This hotel is beautiful. The valet and the front staff were lovely. The rooftop pool was perfect and the location was just right. However- the walls of the hotel rooms are PAPER THIN. You can hear absolutely everything. When we first checked in at 430pm, there was housekeeping working on the room next door and it sounded like a construction site (we actually to confirm it there was)- vacuums hitting the walls, furniture being moved, stuff being dropped onto the floors- but the worst was very loud conversations about things that should not be discussed in a work environment at a $500/night hotel. In order to mask the noise, we put on some music in our room (at 5pm mind you) and 10 minutes later we got a knock on the door reporting the music was too loud! The next morning we woke up to our neighbors laughing hysterically and blasting Taylor swift (and hey, I’m a swiftie myself), but the loud cackling is not something I want to be woken up to on vacation. I am really sad to say I will not stay here again. It was definitely not worth spending almost $500 for one night.

Wonderful boutique hotel in probably the best location in Santa Barbara — with all the amenities you need and an excellent hotel restaurant.

Very convenient location and large bedrooms. It would be good to have coffee and tea in the room.

The balcony we paid extra for was underwhelming. It was a door that opened and that was it. Couldn't sit outside to enjoy the view. Although since we had a view of the has station we weren't missing much. I was also disappointed that the spa services they offer and we booked we're not on the actual premises. Wasn't a far walk, but not as convenient as I'd hoped. Overall it was just "ok". The restaurant Finch and Fork was alright but the menu wasn't impressive.

Good location for exploring the shops, bars & restaurants along State Street, and an easy if lengthy walk to the beach, wharf, sealife aquarium etc. Friendly & efficient welcome, well stocked bar with good wines & local beers, great service, superb restaurant (Finch & Fork - worth booking). Room (314) was cozy but comfortable & spotlessly clean. Valet parking & bag management was very efficient.

the stay was really good. after a hiccup at check in, we had a wonderful trip at the Kimpton. They seemed to be under staffed but handled the issue very well. The service people were extremely kind and helpful. the hotel is situated perfectly in downtown Santa Barbara. You can walk every where.

This is a beautiful hotel, both inside and out and the rooftop/rooftop pool are quite nice. However, neither the rooms nor the service fit the extremely high prices. Amenities are noting special and it's ridiculous that there is no coffee/tea service in the room (who wants to go to the lobby early for coffee/tea even if free). Rooms can be cold and drafty, too. I can see being here if you have a special group event like a wedding, but otherwise I would consider other places.

Next time I’ll take my puppy. We lived our stay
