We enjoyed our time at the Upham. The room was great, quiet and tranquil. The gardens were lovely. Enjoyed the daily wine reception. Could have offered a light continental breakfast bar which would add to the experience. Dinner recommendations were excellent and we totally enjoyed our stay. Would strongly recommend.

Great location to all of downtown Santa Barbara and interesting how long the property was around. Great parking, but limited. Not so great things: no control on AC and VERY cold, loud before 9am, no staff at the front desk at night even though was told they would be there all night, first day staff a bit snippy, but the second day new staff was better.

Very quiet and walkable to State Street with shopping and historical buildings. Lots of options for dining and able to walk to the end on the wharf. Cottages are a little dated and could use some “refresh” but overall an excellent stay. Would return again.

Overall a cute place but the rooms could be updated a little. The bathroom sink did not drain as efficiently as a normal sink would (probably clogged a little). I liked all the windows and the high ceilings. The bed was a bit too bouncy for my liking, but overall good hotel.

My husband and I sometimes stay at the Upham. This time around I was offered an upgrade and I happily took it. My room was one of the bungalows and it was so charming. I had a private sitting area outside of my room but opted to sit on the lawn because it is just so pretty. I also had a fireplace in the room and windows all around. I The grounds are picture perfect and love watching the bluebirds in the morning drinking from the fountain and the bunnies in the afternoon nibbling on the grass. There are shaded areas in which to sit and relax or full sun spots if that is your desire. Happy hour is nice as they serve wine and cookies. In the morning I usually head over to the reception area for complimentary coffee and fruit. The staff is always helpful and warm. They truly help to make our stay memorable each and every time. I love entering from the front so that I can take a moment and smell the roses that line the stairs. The area that surrounds the Upham is lovely and some of the Victorian homes are just gorgeous. There are restaurants, shops, galleries and a museum within walking distance. My only wish is that they had bicycles for their visitors to rent. Having said that I would recommend the Upham to anyone who loves undeniable charm and staying somewhere with a bit of history surrounding them. There is nothing not to like about the Upham. It is the perfect tucked away spot off of State street and we thoroughly enjoy it.
